HELP! I FEEL LIKE IM GOING CRAZY AND HAVE A BRAIN TUMOR

[CourtneyyyP]

Okay so I am a 15 year old female who is a freshman in high school. When I was in 7th grade, after basketball practice me and my aunt went to the store. All of a sudden my eyes started having these colidacsopes in them. Everyone and everything looked weird. That happened quite often right before I got a headache so I thought it was normal. Well I started having trouble talking. It seems like the only thing I could say is "do I need to go to the hospital". I tried to pray but I couldn't pronounce the words or even think of them. It lasted for maybe 20 minutes then went away. Since then I've had severe anxiety. It got so bad during the 7th grade, I had to be homeschooled. I would throw fits in the morning begging not to go to school. I would go in the bathroom and beg someone to come get me. At the end of 7th grade, after I had been put on medicine and had a break from school, I went back. I was fine. I was fine all through 8th grade. I was fine all the way through 9th grade until about a month or 2 ago, it came right back. Nothing triggered it. It just came out of no where but this time it's worse. I feel like I'm constantly in a dream and I always worry about a brain tumor or that I'm gonna have a seizure. I feel like I'm going crazy and gonna lose control. I'm scared it's something more than anxiety. No one seems to understand. Someone please help me make sure

It sounds like you started experiencing a mood disorder at a pretty young age. I taught high school English for ten years and I have a mood disorder too, I was diagnosed with bipolar after college. What you originally experienced in the store sounds like a psychotic episode...I would recommend talking to a therapist and saying everything you typed and just see what she thinks. You might really benefit from having more medications on board, it seems to me your anxiety is based on fear of feeling that out of control feeling of a psychotics episode.
