Q&A: Can Anyone Help Me Resolve What Could Be a Serious Mental Problem?
Question by LostInMyMind: Can anyone help me resolve what could be a serious mental problem?
First off I will say that I am not suicidal. When I was younger I was told by doctors that I suffer from “clinical depression”, but at the time I did not disclose all the correct information. Still I was given medication and stayed on it for 2 months. Did not work and became suicidal. After an overdose of morphine I changed a lot mentally. I now have a phobia of death that is why I say I am not suicidal. My problem is that I do not seem to care about anything. Death in the family, breakup after years of dating, losing jobs, etc. The only time I like in my life is when I dream while sleeping. My family and close friends do not know anything is wrong and think I am happy and people who meet me seem to think I am a very nice and likable person. A lot more detail can be given if you can help.
*Yes I have many friends
*Abnormal sleep patterns (sleeps for 24 or more hours when possible, other days less than 2)
*Abnormal eating (eat alot of food for weeks then others weeks eat next to nothing both not affecting my weight)
*thoughts of death not by suicide but by other means in great detail
*extreme fear of death
*Antisocial unless forced out by friends then I become very social until I get home again
*Talk to myself (not out loud) and have conversations and arguments
*extreme mood swings again in my head because I have become very good at pretending to be normal happy and okay
Perhaps a few more details then and can you be polar without showing it?
*Would never act on these desires but i do think alot of harming people commiting crimes amoung other things
*Fear of losing my freedom has stopped not only commiting crimes but also for seeking help because of the chance of being commited to hospital
*have done crimes in the past breaking entering selling drugs stealing from many places of employment been have clean record never been caught
*random spurts of adrenalin for no apparent reason
still doubt it is a anti social disorder since I rarely (havent in years) act on violent behavior
*do not take medication and have not in years
*was in the military (Marines) but did not cause anyone to suspect a problem
*attended college majoring in phycology but dropped out to join military (yes bad choice)
Also first time I have said anything about this to anyone (doing so because no one knows who I am)
Physical Description if it helps
*Age 23
*Height 5′ 8″
*Weight 138
Yes I have a job and no I do not have any goals. Do not really ‘want’ anything in life other than to learn new things everyday.
I do not want to sound like the classic ‘crazy guy’ by saying I have voices in my head. But that is what it is. Talking about random things and argueing with themselves. Talking to me in first person or about me in third. Though I do not let others kow this is happening.
