Hi - Weird Thoughts - Anxiety

[avalon2]

Ok, hi everyone I am new and nice to meet all of you, I am a 13 year old girl and I am still not sure whether I have anxiety or not but I thought I would come on here to chat and find people like me. Now onto the question, I have been having weird thoughts which have been causing me discomfort. The thought is: "what if I swapped bodies with someone?", when I am watching someone perform or someone do something in front of a big crowd I start wondering what would happen if I became them, I start thinking of a plan of what I would do if it happened (if I was suddenly on stage as that person) and I find myself looking away from the person in fear of me becoming them. My heart starts beating fast and I repeat my 'plan' over and over again. It really freaks me out. Does this happen to anyone? 

Thanks,

Avalon 🙂

Dear Avalon2,  thankyou so much for writing on this forum and a kind welcome.

I'm 58 but most of us can recall how we were at 13 I'm sure.  At that age we had fantasies and our mind wanders into unrealistic thoughts.  But how far does it go for other people is what you are asking.

I'd like others to comment here to.  I know I used to continually imagine one day I'll lose my right arm sometime in my life.  Maybe my thoughts were linked to the fact that one of my uncles didnt have a right arm? So there is one example.

I look back on my teenage years and they were so hard. Wild thoughts, body changes and social challenges.

Have you asked your parent if you can see a doctor?  A doctor is trained to listen to you and might refer you to a counsellor to chat and this will give you a person on a professional level that has been trained a lot in this area.

good luck and dont be afraid of your thoughts. Many fantasy movies and books come from peoples wild imaginations.  Our minds can play many tricks on us.
