Answer 1

You may simply be agoraphobic and not like to be around other people. I do agree that you should see a doctor so you can be properly diagnosed and receive any treatment that may be appropriate.

Answer 2

Hi

Sounds to me like you could have lots of different things going on. Things to consider could include depression, an anxiety disorder, perhaps even agoraphobia (a fear of going out.)

The best thing you can do is talk to you parents and let them know what's going on. I know this can seem scary, but if your Dad is already forcing you to eat, he probably has an idea that something is going on.

The other thing you can do is ask your Dad or your Mom to take you to see the doctor. There you can talk to the doctor about what is going on and maybe he / she can help you.

It doesn't sound like you are doing the typical things that most kids should be doing - getting out, spending time with friends, enjoying hobbies. Please make sure you speak to someone - you deserve to be happy and enjoy all those things!

Answer 3

It could be a number of things, like... Depression, a chemical Imbalance, Mal-nutrition, a vitamin deficiency, all of above.
Are you hiding a drug problem? Were you a victim of a crime?
Attacked? Raped? Scared?
Also think about, the way you feel when your alone in your room. Are you happy, sad, mad or do you enjoy hanging out alone?

The important thing is that you realize this behavior is affecting you, which is what you did by asking your question.
The worst part is that you are not eating. Poor nutrition will slowly break you down physically and mentally.

Talk to someone about what is going on inside you. If you find that it is that you simply like your time alone, then let it go and enjoy. If it's more serious, then break it down.
I think you are going to be just fine.

Answer 4

Well...

Most people like me who have Asperger Syndrome like to be alone from sometime to alway.

They also loves to work on computer and willing to work beyound the graveyard shift. These people like me check e-mail several times a day unlike some people who do it occasionally.

If reading books and doing math is addicting then it more likely you have one. They are very competitive when come to number and will outwit any students.

However, not all people with Asperger Syndrome have good grades in school. Attention Deflect Disorder can disvalue the focus and self-discipline for schooling.

People with Asperger Syndrome like to thinks and will get bored at certain job if they loses interest.

I will leave it at that.

Answer 5

It sounds like you suffer from social anxiety. There are medicines for that. Please talk to your family Dr.
I doubt that home schooling is best for you. You need exercise and activities with other kids your age. The longer you shut yourself away, the harder it will be to change. The lack of appetite could be an eating disorder -- because it is the only control you have over what is going on -- or it could be the result of lack of exercise. Please talk to your parents. You should be having the best time of your life now, not a miserable existence hiding in your room.

Answer 6

For some, home schooling may be a great thing. For others it may be that a social education is just as important. Your comfort level has become to be alone because you are alone, yet you are unhappy. Now you must force yourself out of your comfort level to develop your social education. Even though you have become depressed, most of the medications available for depression are not going to help you. Learning to get along with others is a very important lesson in life and one that will ultimately be your most prized skill. If you can't share your talent and skills with others, their value is completely diminished. Learning to socialize with others takes practice and it will pay off far more than any education you may get alone in your room. I recommend you start out by volunteering at a nursing home, hospital, or charity helping others. The personal reward and positive feedback of helping someone in need will easily outweigh your shyness and open up your life to the social interactions you need to complete your education.

Answer 7

wow- your question sounds like you are having a tough time. but, you can get to feeling better with some help. It would be good if you talked to your dad and let him know how you are feeling. You could even ask him to take you to the doctor, and let them check you out. Make sure to be honest about how you're feeling with both of them. You may be suffering form depression, which can be very common in teenage years. Dont lose more time feeling low- talk with your dad. I hope you feel better soon- take care.

Answer 8

Honey, you sound really depressed and no wonder, you are a prisoner in your own bedroom! It is not healthy and is counterproductive for teenagers, and I guess that is what you are, to not be around their peers- in other words, you NEED friends- you NEED socializing moreso since you do not go to school and fraternize with other children every day. Have your dad take you to see your family doctor-- explain him/her how you are feeling and what your "lifestyle" daily activities consist of. He may suggest that you actually GO to a school and not be homeschooled. There are pluses and minuses to every type of education a child can receive and what works great for one, is detrimental to another-- your curriculum is not working out for you and you need to talk to your dad and your doctor about a change.

Good luck to you honey--- get out of that room and get some friends and go out......that is what you REALLY NEED.....

Answer 9

Are you taking any drugs,I was on ritalin its an anphetamine for for a few years and became a total introvert.You have to leave your comfort zone"your room" and seek out relationships with people you will probably be uncomfotable and self consious for a while but YOU WILL get over it and adjust.

Answer 10

You have depression you want to be away from people. you have everything you need in your room.You have no reason to go out of your room. you don't want to eat. Don't want to talk to anyone they will bug the crap out of you but try to step out said your room once every day then try twice in a few weeks.
