sometime i just cry uncontrollably for no reason, sometimes it lasts a few seconds ,other times it lasts a few minutes. then i stop all of a sudden, and its like it never happened. then out of nowhere i get these nervous, trembling fits, they only last a few seconds, but they come one right after another. sometimes i get the feeling that im being watched by something, even when there is nobody around. thats when the trembling fits start up again, and i start get scared of something that isnt even there. after a while i get depressed. the other times out of nowhere i get angry, and then the nervous fits start up again. then all of a sudden it stops and its like it never happened. until it starts up again. ive never had any test done for mental reasons, but sometimes i just wonder if it could be a mental problem. i would really value your opinion.
I am defiantly not qualified but it doesn't have any signs of bi-polar because there are no signs of mania. Paranoia is a common trait in schizo cases but schizophrenics is a very broad category. Are there really no emotional components? as in do you ever have disturbing dreams or thoughts? the idea of uncontrollable crying and depression without a strong personal reason sounds like a biological problem and would be a psychiatric problem and not a psychological one. Did something change recently? How long have you had these episodes? Has it been getting more severe?
ive had these for about 5 or 6 years. the fits of rage come out of nowhere, and so do the trembling fits. the suicidal thoughts are just there in the back of my mind. i mean nothing changed in my life. the paranoia i dont know where that comes from. so yeah all of this is unexplainable to me. they just seem to come out of nowhere. yeah sometimes, i have disturbing dreams and thoughts, but then again hasnt everybody?
I have similar problems I was diagnosed with bipolar (by an old doctor but my current MD psychologist and psychiatrist all disagree) but I def deal with depression and anxiety disorders. Def see someone b/c a mix of cognitive therapy and a small amount of prescriptions have helped me out A LOT. However, don't let them put you on too many pills b/c the doc that said I was bipolar put me on 13 pills a day and I just stopped functioning... these symptoms are really common in a lot of people so don 't feel alone
stop letting other people tell you what you are.. your normal, go cry a river and get over it.. People look for to many reasons to think shit is wrong with them. buying into the psyco fever and filling waiting rooms.. Bottle your tears and sell em on Ebay some freak will buy them and you can get a farreri..
sometimes i have to read something over and over because i think ive got it wrong. these include little things like my address or my name. i just have to keep rereading it
Well, you are still young... Hormones could have something to do with it. Thyroid problems can also mess you up, so it could all be chemical. Have you always been this way or has it developed recently? On the flipside, have there been any external factors that could have caused some upheaval? Family issues, fights with friends, school trouble, moving? Sometimes, even if we think we're okay, stuff gets pushed aside and eats at us even though we don't realize it. Try some stuff, like seeing the counselor at your school and talking about these episodes- what you feel when it happens, before it happens, after it happens (hey, it's what they're there for and it's usually free) or asking your doc about a blood test to check for chemical stuff. Good luck!
if you're really concerned... talk to a professional but you could very well be having just a rough time

no, i dont smoke or drink or do drugs. no, nothing has happened in my life that would cause it. i mean im alone all the time, no friends, but thats always been that way. i havent been this way all my life, they just started happening about 6 or 7 years ago. im 28 , so i dont go to school, so there is no counselor for me to see. the paranoia, the feeling that im being watched has always pretty much been there. sometimes im afraid to go in my own house, sometimes im afraid to go out side. and also, please dont laugh at this, but im still pretty much afraid of the dark, you know like what could be hiding in it.
Sorry, I was looking at your post count rather than your age. I thought you were 17. Isolation can do weird things to your head... I am an only child, so I've been used to it, but even I get weird if I don't see anyone for a number of weeks.
well thank you all for your opinions. i dont know, maybe it is bi polar or maybe im just slipping deeper into the forest of insanity, who knows.
