What might this be? Schizophrenia, bi-polar, crazy?

Question

Since I was a young teenager like...11 - now I have this weird problem.. here are some examples..
* I would be sitting in my high school classroom and I'd stare at the door and then I'd imagine that the door would suddenly open and hit the student next to it. Or that it would some how open so fast that it would make a really loud noise....
* I would have constant thougths about accidents that could happen to me...like if I was doing something with sharp objects etc.. I'd imagine horrible scenes like those objects poking my eyes or eye and losing them. Or losing one of my limbs and being horrified. * and sometimes when I drive I get these crazy ideas...like say I imagine me suddenly changing lanes to the opposite direction and crashing. And I get scared that it may actually happen or that i'll do it and I try to forget it. * and when I am bymyself for a whole day or not having a lot of conversation I start having all these weird thougths...and like I need to talk or else i'll go crazy

Answer 1

It's NOT schizophrenia, if you were schizophrenic, you would actually believe those things happened, not believe you imagined them. It's not bi-polar, either. Bi-polar is an illness characterized by manic highs and lows, meaning you will go through a period of extremes highs, where you feel on top of the world, invincible, and then go through periods of extreme lows, where you feel so sad you contemplate suicide. and you're not "crazy" either, it's actually pretty normal, although it may be a sign of mild anxiety, and an over-active imagination. Nothing to really worry about, though.

Answer 2

First of all, see a professional. Sounds like it may be ADD, or Attention Deficit Disorder. Pre-adolescents and adolescents will quite commonly experience racing and confusing thoughts as their bodies attempt to keep up with their minds. Your question was asked clearly and concisely; have a nurse give you a short Mental Status Exam which will determine what universe you live in. The environment around you is changing so swiftly that it's hard for even the most skilled minds to keep perfect order within. If you were suffering from delusions or command voices you would probably think everyone else was a few french fries short of a happy meal. Go to the library; most public libraries have extensive resources for interpersonal relations, self esteem, coping, etc.

Answer 3

Your situation sounds to me like a severe case of paranoia. You have a vivid imagination, that's easy to see. When you become disinterested with the situation you are in, you focus on whatever catches your eye. Your imagination then takes over and starts creating hypothetical situations tangent to that object at that time. I guessing you are interested in horror movies, playing violent video games, watch the news alot, have witnessed something violent, or someone close to you has one or all of these apply to them. Anything from the list would allow your imagination to produce what you explained seeing. As long as you know that they are not actually happening and aren't manifesting any odd behaviors from you, you aren't too troubled but you are a little. If any of what you see "freaks you out" I would advise you to seek counseling, it should help. If you can't go to counseling, you might want to try picking up a hobby, writing a journal, or just become more involved and social at school.

...anticipatory anxiety possibly...illusions of grandeur. These are generally all non real imaginary events. An overly active hyper sensitive imagination possibly is at fault. These are futuristic unreal events that haven't occurred in real space and time. They probably never will actually occur either. Any bad traumatic experiences in your youth? They're not the kinds of events that fall into normal futuristic thinking. Consult a licensed therapist if you're concerned about hurting someone...including yourself. I'm thinking you have some anxiety about some other things possibly too. What are they reasonably?

Answer 5

sure it sound such as you have a bi-polar style project, there are drugs that could help reducing the end result you experience, a powerfuble scientific practitioner could be waiting to prescribe some Efexor or comparable medicine that could desire to help. there is likewise different issues that could influence the ideas alongside with countless nutrients and drink ingredients, so attempt and consume and drink in hassle-free terms healthful stuff, and decrease maximum appropriate down on sugar because it may mess with the ideas or a minimum of make thinking rather fuzzy if blood sugar ranges are extreme. in case you watch television and play laptop-video games the consistent bombardment of usually violent pictures can create rigidity that your physique respond to by utilising being indignant, a mindset and physique waiting for disagreement, the human subconscious ideas can`t comfortably distinguish between the actual and the delusion worldwide of television and computers.

I suggest to you is get help first then worry about the problem with a Professional Doctor.

Answer 7

Do you wach many horror movies? Cuz those can sure put TONS of freaky thoughts into ANYBODY's mind...so I would suggest not watching those...when those thoughts enter your mind, mentally "change channels" to a happy thought, or funny event in your life that brings a smile on your face.

As for what the cause of these thoughts is, I'm not quite sure. Like I said, movies may have a lot to do with it, but if oyu don't watch many scary movies...I don't know...

Answer 8

Let's hope the fears never translate into action.

Perhaps you should seek medical advice, or at least ring an organisation like the Samaritans when you are on your own.

You definitely need people in your life, talk to your friends.
