I have horrible thoughts of myself dying in bad ways. its may be a problem but im not really sure. you need to tell your parents.
Add your own answer in the comments!
i kinda have the same problem
but i think its just boredom getting the best of you
keep yourself occupied
No, no. Don’t worry hun. I do it all the time, except when I talk to myself, it’s usually in a British accent. Don’t worry, it’s great that you have a good imagination, hold on to that for as long as you can. You’re growing up, things don’t have to be so serious yet! Good luck sweetie!
Bah everyone does it, it’s a minor case of loneliness, I’d say get out and met people, even if it’s internet people.
you are not going mental, you just have a vivid imagination, everyone talks to themselves from time to time, its called your inner voice….do be scared
don’t be scared because sometimes i do this too. I am an only child so i don’t really have anyone to talk to so i think that’s probably why. but anyways, its nothing to get worked up about because there is nothing wrong with you!
To me it sounds like your daydreaming…. and theres nothing wrong with that (unless your supposed to be doing homework)
don’t worry dude.
i think it might be normal, i’m kinda like that too only sometimes if i’m bored i just kinda daydream alot.
then again, i’m not sure if it’s normal or not, you really should talk to someone about it.
That does sound very serious since your 14 go to your guidence office and talk to someone or maybe i teacher i would be emmbarssing to tell them but try to like not talk to your self and try to get involved with clubs or hang out with friends you might have to much free time i hope i helped if you need support feal free to email me! =]
Ive been studying psychology and it sounds like you have schizophrenia, and if you do you need to talk to some immediately, its ok you shouldnt be embarrassed some people get stuck with stuff like that and its not your fault. You will be even more embarrassed if you hurt someone.
your not going mental!!! i promise the same thing happend 2 one of my friends!! youll b ok!!
Tell your parents. Maybe there’s more going on and talking to a real person might help you. Why deal with something by yourself when there’s people who care about you that can help?! Ü
Would you be embarrassed if you had diabetes or cancer? Well mental health is just as important as physical health. Go talk to someone!! Ü
You could just have a very large imagination.
‘talking to yourself’ in your head, by the way, is called an internal monologue. We ALL have them. Its a way to work out problems, etc.
As for the fantasy…try writing down what you’re creating in your mind. I had the same sort of problem. Id create people, and ‘act out’ their lives in my mind. It turns out that I just have a really big imagination, and the creativity has worked for me. Im almost done writing a book. So try writing it down. It made a lot of the ‘stuff’ in my head ‘go away’.
Hope I helped. *hugs*
If you need more help or support E MAIL ME! Im here for you, as many of us are.
i do that stuff i’m weird
please got of meth/heroine/speed before its too late
You mean daydreaming? Do your parents keep you locked in or something? I think you just need to get out. I went through that when I was your age, I wasn’t allowed out of the house or to have company, just school and back. You eventually “retreat into your own world”. You should talk to them and try to get involved with other kids your age.
Everyone has an inner voice (your conscience). On the other hand if you start hearing voices you can’t control, or telling you what to do, that is schizophrenia.
i talk to myself sometimes when im bored….not trying to brag, but i feel that i can have a fairly intelligent conversation with myself, since my i can put myself into perspective. i also contemplate the consequences of my choices and the choices i didnt make.
I know exactly what you are going through because it had happen to me too. However it is very likely for you to confide in someone and ventilate more often to get things off your mine. If you hav ethings on your mine you will fantasize and if you are unhappy. I think it would be a splending idea if you told your parents and if they are really interested in listening and helping you. If not get someone who you can talk to most of the times and kick it with them. In that way you would not have enough time to fantasize.
I do the same thing, so oes my mom. I know a lot of artists who have convos with themself actually.
It’s ok you’re not crazy.
Don’t be scared. You are NOT ‘normal’ but you aren’t ‘mental’ either. What you are doing is ‘filling the loneliness’ with words and actions, and if you continue to do that, you may grow up to be a writer or an artist. I did that, and became a professional writer (I’m also a psychologist). My husband did that and he’s a ‘fine artist’ who works as a ‘web developer’ (also very CREATIVE). So go ahead and have your ‘private creative times’ … but also try to start ‘writing something’ and/or drawing something every day. Buy a notebook and make that your ‘Journal’ and use that for your writing or drawings. You may ‘hide it’ or you may ‘share it’ with someone else whom you ‘respect’ as an ‘artist’ or ‘writer’ … but if you keep a Journal, you’ll soon see that you are NOT ‘mental’ … you are just IMAGINATIVE … and THAT is ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.
you may just hav a lot on your mind, or your very creative. don’t woory about it. i think the only thing that’s going on with you is the fact that your making yourself mental by stressing over this
First a mental will never think she is menta. Second everyone has discussions in her/his head. Some people read loudly and some people read with no voice. This a different way, different minds are working. Belive me, sometimes it is better with people in your fantasy than talking to your mind alone. On the other side this is characteristic to someone that thinks that she/he knows everything and does not need even to listen to other peoples. Next time try to listen without talking a lot when being in coversation. It will be a little difficult but with time it will help you.
Oh wow, you are definitely crazy!!!!
HAHAHA! I do that all the time! then again I am mental…or at least all my friends and family tell me so….I don’t think I’ve ever bee told that I’m not mental…then again I also seem to know things before they happen and that freaks a lot of people out…you will be fine as soon as you learn to embrace it and not pen it up….get a puppy if it helps to talk to something but don’t bottle it up or try to stop it because I once tried that and I was miserable and went into a state of depression…and a crazy depressed person is dangerous…just a regular crazy person is fun though especially when they are random….
If you are just having discussions with non-existent persons, and going through the motions of actions, you may be a little wound up, but not that unusual.
And as Adam suggests above, maybe you need to get out of your room a bit more.
But it might be something to be concerned about if you are bothered by the content or subject matter of these fantasy actions and discussions.
If you are, then maybe you should talk to someone.
Here are some thoughts on people to talk to:
A member of the clergy, if you’re religious.
A school counselor, if your school has one.
A teacher who seems very understanding.
A very understanding parent of a friend or relative, such as an aunt or uncle.
You should make it clear that you want to find out if you have a problem and you should make it very clear that the person is to let your parents know.
Before you approach someone, think about how you feel in that person’s presence. Do they make you feel comfortable?
That’s very important.
I do too. All of it.Calm your nerves.You’re fine. I’m exactly like Amber K.
