Concerned

I am in high school, and of course i know nobody is normal at this age, so please don't tell me that. heres a few problems about myself that bug me: I have trouble sleeping, constantly. My mind will read my alarm clock wrong and i'll end up getting up several times during the course of the night because i think im late for something. I find that writing notes or reminders when i cant sleep helps me. I daydream constantly, such as i will have a conversation with someone then go off in my mind...focusing in class is hard for me. i get paranoid extremely easily, and im almost always anxious. Im fine talking to people in groups, but when i have to get up infront of a class and give a presentation, i've been know to hypervenailate. I feel depressed sometimes, but i would never hurt myself or commit suicide, because i think that's weak. But i do cry sometimes. mostly because i like feeling sorry for myself, or because im upset about school. I have a few good friends, but have trouble relating to kids my age. Basically, im just waiting to get out of highschool and past all this histrionic drama. tonight, when i was hanging out with my friend, we discussed personality disorders. So i was wondering if i had one. What i wrote previously was just a few personal observations of a couple personality flaws i was curious about, if anyone has any commentary on it, id like to hear it. thanks for your input
Do you think it's normal?

OMG!! YOU'RE ME!!!! YOUR EXACTLY AS I WAS!! First, about the daydreaming, I know exactly how it is: you get distracte, you can focus, your mind drifts when you talk to someone. That, sweetie is Attention defesite Disorder. (ADD) (oh, yeah, you tend to forget things to, like where did you lose this and where did you put that. NOTES for everything! I had to take notes just to remind myself to do everything things, like homework. I needed REPITION for everything at school. look into tutoring)
The crying! OMG! I've been there...Depression, if you cry, sometimes randomly and can't stop, even if you do for no reason at all you may want to see a psychitrist.
As for the sleeping, look into your health history more. because from depression you get phsyical symptoms like headaches.
To this day, I still cant sleep til 3 or 5 am.
talk to a therapist or psychologist.
They'll monitor your symptoms.
and MAYBE, if you have a change in mood...you could be bipolar.
IM NOT A DOCTOR, BUT LOOK INTO IT.
thanks for the comment. its good to know that there's someone out there with problems similar to mine!
lol........

so what? I've been through this.. i dont think it's sickness or any of this bull**** .. jus a phase i believe ..and i grew out of it anyway
obviously the guy before me has no
Intelligence on the matter.
Tard!
Anyway
you can regain what you lost by
thinking that you can do it
and keep your self motivated and remember
your just a living thing on earth
and you will rebuild new cells and you will
build new routes and networks of thinking (elec impluses) and the old ones will shrivle
up and be passed out your body by fluid excrecian like sweeting peeing or growing hair and trimming it off and more hair grows
your fingernails grow longer cause
the cells form and maticulate so you are you
why do we grow old havent figured that one out yet
@: darkcgi
forgot(he..he..lol.. what an example am I)
Anywho
If You keep worring over the same though
that doesnt matter to your future
then your burning brain cells out for nothing
and your body will only make what it needs
so your slowing your process of getting ahead and over things up
and if you keep doing it all the way
you end up in a coma where your brain just jumps back and forth from here to there in stead of the multitasking that it used to do
Sounds like most of that is just a common phase for your age group. The sleeping though might be a problem. You might want to see a psychologist for your insomnia (not a psychiatrist because they'll just prescribe pills that you will quickly become dependent on)
Well, ok, its your life, im sorry.
God bless.
erm.. no im sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.. I just meant to say "Be Your Own Doctor" .. and If someone really needs help then, he might see a Therapist.. But, in the end it is actually you who can save yourself.

Peace out
wow we have the same problem and i still cant figure it out
