If you want you can make a list on paper
of symptoms that you experienced, so it
will help your memory, and bring it to the
psychologist.

Oh good. Maybe if you write down what you
want to tell the psychologist ahead of
time, that will help.

It's too bad your sister doesn't
understand. She doesn't sound very
old/mature/understanding. Don't worry,
most people wouldn't react that way.

i just read all of your posts. great you
went to see a doctor. read up about
whatever they might think you have. talk
to your parents all the way, support is
very important (that's my experience).
crucial. and take it easy. everything is
going to be all right. you have to want to
be well, you know. so, that should be your
aim. 
listen to them and talk about all the
changes. especially if you aren't getting
better! get you parents very involved!

don't worry about the insensitive ones for
a second. you'll deal with them later . life will deal
with them.. don't be scared to speak about
some stuff you find to be too scared of
(to the doctor, i mean). i hope you will
get better soon! and then kick your
sister's butt.

check with your parents? a cup of warm
milk and a teaspoon of honey before going
to bed.. wear yourself out the whole day,
and you'll sleep like a baby. or read in
bed. take it easy! find
some nice doc to talk to about this too,
if it's really an issue.

I think for now, use natural things to
help yourself sleep (warm milk, etc. is
nice) and behavioral things. When you talk
to the therapist, you can tell him/her
that you are having trouble sleeping and
they'll give you something if you need it.
Also, make sure your environment is nice
and dark for an hour before you go to bed,
and you aren't eating/exercising, etc.
SLeeping medications are pretty addictive,
and you don't want to use them without the
help of a doctor.

Perhaps it could be related to epilepsy. I
read something to that effect on the
internet, but I don't remember what
anymore.

Seizure activity can cause some pretty
interesting things to occur with people.
You will need to see a neurologist and
have an EEG. A CT scan might not be a bad
idea either. Just a thought from a neuro
ICU RN. It is worth it to check. Let us
know how you are doing.

child therapists comes this thursday to
tell you guys the truth i have no idea
what im gonna tell them. Lately ive been
feeling alot better it doesnt take me long
at all to fall asleep so that seems to
have gone away for now. If im hanging with
friends i can go all day without even
remembering i ever felt i was going insane
until the night comes and then it comes
back even if im with friends though i can
usually ignore it. I'll still hear my name
being called at times but thats it really
just whispering my name. Thought i might
wake up during the middle of the night 1
or 2 times and i may see skulls from the
corner of my eyes i dont think its
anything like schizophrenia

Just following your progress. Let us know
what your therapist says. Hearing a voice
whisper your name is not a usual
occurrence for most people. To me that
says something is going on with the
chemistry in your brain. Continue to take
the steps to find out what is going on.
Frequently neuropsychological problems can
"come and go" and seem to be gone and
flair up again. You are starting the first
steps to feeling better. Keep it up. Let
us know how you are doing.

well my mom STILL hasnt set up an
appointment for the psychiatrist!! But
lately the symptoms have appearing less
less and now the only things that happen
is depersonalization feeling sometimes and
messed up vision if im looking at like a
rug or wall or anything with a pattern of
like squares or something. The only time i
hear voices is when im laying down half
asleep and most of the time its things of
heard throughout the day or people i know
saying random things like come here or are
you coming nothing else besides that which
ive very happy about the other thing
bothering me is the fact that when i felt
alot worse my grades are slipping and now
theres a chance i might get left back
which i really dont want because that
means ill lose all my friends and i know
if that happens it'll come back for sure
anyone got some ideas?

Your mom may be in denial about what is
happening with you. Parents can have a
hard time facing their child being sick.
Keep reminding her. Tell her how you feel.
I am glad things have calmed down for the
time being. Many times these things can
start and stop. Does your mom know your
are in jeopardy of being held back due to
your grades? You and your mom may be able
to do some damage control if you can show
medical reasons for your inability to do
the school work. You may be able to get
tutoring through the school and catch up.
First, you need to see a psychologist or
psychiatrist. You need to find out what is
going on. The next step is to find out
what provisions the school has for this
type of situation. Mental illness is
considered a disability. This allows you a
certain latitude in school. By law the
school can not penalize you due to a
mental disorder. They must help you. A
school social worker can guide you and
your mom through the process.
Please let us know how you are doing. I
have thought of you many times over the
weeks. You can private message me any time
(your mom too). My son has a mental
disorder and I know how hard this can be.
Take care of yourself, kiddo. Keep us up
to date. We are here for you.

alright i know you put this post up a
while ago .. but the same things have
happened to me that were happening to you
.. like i know EXACTLY what you are
talking about with every little detail and
feeling you have explained ..
i'm 19 and was diagnosed rapid cycling
bipolar 1 when i was 15
i was just curious to know your diagnosis
because you mentioned racing thoughts
which is a classic bipolar sign .. i doubt
you are schizophrenic because it occurs
later and by what you've explained it
sounds more like
depression/anxiety/paranoia with extreme
mania that involve psychosis .. bipolar
disorder most of the time appears around
the age of 16 because the depression
usually comes first and then a manic
episode breaks out .. your manic episode
may have just came earlier
-- what were the results that you were
diagnosed with?
