View Full Version : I feel really weird...

This has just recently started, and I'm very worried about what's happening.

Here are some of my symptoms:
1. I have an overall lack of energy. I laugh a lot and hang out with my friends, but when I'm not doing that, I feel sluggish and really bored and tired.

2. I catch myself completely spacing out at random times (doing homework, in class, and even in conversations with other people.) I'm usually not very socially awkward, but recently I've been getting a kind of brain fog where I can't think of anything nice/funny/good to say, and the situation quickly turns awkward. I also have some "blackouts" during conversations where I find myself asking "What just happened the last 5 mins? What did they just say?" I don't usually have such bad focus; I have fairly good grades (A- and As.)

Its hard to force myself to do work, though once I start it I usually flow well and do it easily. Then, I'd go look something up on the computer, and get distracted VERY easily -- and I catch myself reading something on some website that I dont care about and I dont know whats going on with me. Its as if I go into some kind of "autopilot" mode, and then take back control.

And another thing:
I dont find females very attractive any more. At all, actually. And on the rare chance that I do, I simply don't have enough energy to give it a shot and start a conversation. I also have low self esteem. Not REALLY low, but its pretty bad...
So, does anyone know what this might be?

I'm 15 years old by the way.

Have you been getting enough sleep? It seems for all (except the last one) the things you said, sleep deprivation could be a cause.

I actually get around 9-10 hours a night, sometimes even more...Definitely not sleep deprivation. What else could be the cause? hormone imbalance?

Are you taking any medication or abusing substance? (even if you are and don't say anything in here, which I totally understand, that could be a cause)

I definitely am not.
No meds, no substances. I really do look down upon on people who do drugs.

You really have to be understanding when it comes to addicts. Not trying to bark commands at you or anything but put yourself in their shoes. They once made a bad choice an now they are ensnared in a horrible trap. Although, I don't have much respect for ones who don't recognize that being addicted to something isn't a big deal and throw their lives away. I also HATE drug dealers!

But anyway, I can't really tell you what it might be. Maybe you have a mild form of depression. Maybe it's hormones. But I'm pretty sure it's not life threatening (like something that could be caused cancer or something)

I understand.
So, how should I go about treating this? I guess I can just ignore it, though. And see if it goes away.

Try getting more exorcise and maybe taking a multivitamin. If that doesn't work, maybe wait it out a little bit. Ask your doctor if it doesn't go away. Sorry about that whole article I typed you. Lol I sometimes feel the need to over express my opinion.

It's all good.

I am really athletic - I'm not quite sure how I can exercise more.
I do Football 3 days a week, heavy weight lifting 2 days a week, and play rugy 4 days a week. I also play lacrosse on the weekends.

I am usually completely exhausted and simply pass out when I go to bed...is this normal? I jsut thought it was normal because of such an active lifestyle...

Maybe your overexerting yourself. Try to tone it back a little maybe?

Maybe, but I feel this way during all my breaks, and during the summer as well, where I have minimal sports (just 1 sport, and not even for an hour a day).

There has to be some other explanation. I used to be really sharp and witty and funny, now im boring and dull to be around!
