Is it normal to be like this?

Question

I have sensory deprivation which makes my ears

wicked sensitive so I am deeply afraid of smoke alarms going off in my house for no reason. [it did it just today]

I can't STAND change. I screamed at my mother when she change our couches around.

I have seperation anxiety. So, I get freaked out when my mom leaves the house.

I know, I sound like a freak. But i you knew me, and I didn't tell you this stuff, you would have never guessed it. You see, like I don't show this stuff I told you.

Is this normal and what can I do about it?

Answer 1

Depends how old you are.  If your over 14 then you have issues.

Answer 2

First of all, I'd like to put the disclaimer out that I am by no means an expert or anywhere near a professional...

But your behaviors seem very similar to what some autistic people have. I'm not saying you're autistic, because I have zero proof, but I really believe you should talk to your mom about going to a psychologist.

A psychologist at the very least, will be able to help you with your separation anxiety, and perhaps could diagnose the problem and start administering treatment to help you!

Answer 3

This certainly doesn't sound normal.  I would talk to your doctor.  I'm sure many things could cause these symptoms.  There may be some remedies - medical or otherwise - that could help you better cope with these situations.  

Answer 4

It doesn't hurt to speak to a professional about this stuff. Maybe get an idea of what is "normal" and what isn't.

I have suffered with severe anxiety too which i think if i told anyone about they'd also say im "not normal". I can't help it, it's just the way i've grown up.

I believe all things can be worked on though and i mean if it isn't affecting your quality or anyone else's quality of life then it shouldn't be a worry.

I think not liking change and getting a bit anxious is normal but you sound like you go into the extremes. You say you're "wicked smart" so why don't you use some of that intelligence and speak to somebody about it. That way you wont go through all those extremes.

Answer 5

I think you should probably try talking to a doctor or psychologist, or maybe even your mother about it. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with you, but usually when people have problems like that, especially extreme seperation anxiety, there's a reason for it, and talking to someone you can trust about it might help you figure out why you feel the way you do. Maybe try thinking back on your past and trying to recall reasons you might have these problems. Understanding why you have those feelings is the first step to fixing them.

I know when I was younger I had horrible seperation anxiety with my father because of my parents divorce. As I got older I got over it though, when I realized that he wasn't going to go anywhere and I didn't have to worry. If you're in your teens though, and you have problems like that that haven't worked themselves out you really should find someone who can understand and help you.

But then it could also be something like unbalanced hormones. They can cause all kinds of problems, which also could be discussed with a doctor of some sort. (Sorry, I know less about that kind of stuff obviously.)

But yeah, first and foremost talk to your mom. Discuss your problems with her and see if she doesn't think it's normal. Talk to her about situations in your life that might have left you feeling the way you do, and see if she thinks you should talk about it with a professional.

Hope that helps. =)
