My dear 13-year-old, You are in puberty. Being suddenly deluged with hormones can be very difficult for girls. It is an upsetting period in your life, but it won't last. All girls do not react in the same way. Three of my children are daughters. One sailed through puberty as though it didn't happen, and one was thrown topsy-turvy, just like you. Treat yourself to patience, if you can. You aren't crazy and you aren't sick. Speak to your mother, or, if you do not want to do that, speak to an older woman that you feel is understanding. In a couple of years, or less, you will be just fine.

i am a 20 year old,i always feel that there is a nerve in my head which keeps on shaking and am unable to concentrate on anything.i have to appear in my exams but i can't concentrate on my studies.someone suggested me to consult a psychiatrist and take anti-depressents but i don't want to take medicine as they are addictive in nature.i want to get out of this anxiety with the help of excercise and meditation....is this possible?trust me no one in my family takes it seriously and they say that i think a lot and this is increasing my problems but i know what am going through.they will never take me to psychiatrist.can anyone help?

hi, everyone gets anxiety every now and then and when heavy, can produce deralization,.. (the world doesnt seem real or things seem like a dream) depersonalization, ...(you feel like someone or something else is controling your body) lightheadedness and nervousness all seem like they are related to anxiety. also bad memory/memory loss has also been found to be linked with anxiety simply because, if youve got so much other stuff going on around your head and loads of worries how is your brain supposed to process everyday things to remember.... it cant. it sounds completely normal to me although i know too well how scary it is.. hope this helps

i am 19 years old and there was a period of about a month that i was like that. things didnt seem real, and like you said it was like i was watching myself from outside my body and mind. and with 15 2 year olds running around (i work in a daycare) thats not good. went to the doctor and turns out it was anxiety and i was very stressed out which in turn was making my mind basically go crazy. try to relax and see if things help. it did for me! good luck!

I know what your talking about. It affected me as well but it started when i was around 12. It feels like your in a dream, and it is scary to think about. But what i did was i tried to distract myself with other things to forget about it. And you only realize you have it when you think about it. But i know what your going through, I'm 15 now, and i still feel like that. It's like my daily life now, but after a while, you get so used to it. you go days without even thinking about it, and you forget it's even there. seriously.
I believe it goes away some day. I have recently been looking this up and what i'm feeling is Derealization. I haven't been to a doctor tho. maybe i should.  Take Care :D

hey don't worry well actually i'm not gonna tell you not to worry because i know how hard it is to listne to someone say that believe me. i have had that before actually i have it all the time it's because your axious about something or at lest hats where mine comes from. is there something that is scaring you at all

im 15 and im a guy and i feel the same way but its been happening for like 6 months now and i went to the doctors about it and they ordered an E.E.G and it came back completely normal. but it keeps continuing to get worse. i feel like i am in a dream and i cant wake up. ive went days without even realizing it. i am in 10th grade and i cannot focus in class and its driving me insane. i feel like im crazy and i have the same things as you. but if i think of how i use to be.....its like i am again. but as soon as i quit thinking about it i go back to how i am now. if any one has any suggestions please help. i fear that it will drive me insane.....insane enough to do something that i really do not wanna do.

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE!! LIVE YOUR LIFE! I HAVE SUFFERED FROM THIS PROBLEM TOO! ITS ALL IN YOUR MIND, ITS NOTHING SERIOUS, THE MAIN SOURCE OF THIS ISSUE IS DEPRESSION AND THE MORE YOU THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE YOU ARE DEPRESSING YOUR SELF TO MAKE YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE STUCK THIS WAY OR MIGHT END UP GOING CRAZY! LISTEN, IF U DONT BELIEVE IN GOD, NOW IS THE TIME. I SUFFEREDE WITH THIS AND THE ONLY THING THAT TOOK IT AWAY WAS FAITH IN GOD! DEVELOPE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM AND TALK TO HIM ALL THROUGH THE DAY, WHEN YOURE SCARED, WHEEN YOURE DEPRESSED WHEN YOUO FEEL LONELY HE'S THERE. 1 PETER 5:7 SAYS "CAST ALL YOUR CARES ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU"....HE HELPED ME AND HE'LL HELP YOU! AND YOU'RE TRICKING YOURSELF OUT....YOU DO KNOW WHO YOU ARE WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR! YOU DO NOT FEEL NUMB STOP LETTING THIS COMPUTER FREAK YOU OUT! ITS ALL A MIND THING, THATS WHY YOUR DOCTOR DOESNT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT... BUT FROM KNOW ON YOUR DOCTOR IS JESUS! HE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! TALK TO HIM! GOD BLESS YOU! OH AND BY THE WAY IM 17

Hi, I'm 16 years old and have been dealing with what I think is derealization.  Everything seems dream-like.  It is especially worse when outside, I have no idea why.  But it is definitely an obstacle that I believe can be overcomed.  Every now and then I'll have a good day where I don't even think about it and I feel perfectly fine and feel totally normal.  Other days, like today, are terrible and I feel like my life is over and that I'll never feel like myself again.  Hopefully it's due to puberty and my raging hormones that is causing me to have anxiety.  Hopefully everyone else feels as if they're not alone after this.  Good luck!
