In touch outta touch with reality

I’m 21 years old and the last few months as been really confusing. I’ve notice myself has been a lot different for no reason. Whenever I have conversations I get words jumbled/speak rapid and I don’t follow a train of thought. I get depressed sometimes throughout the week but then some days I feel normal. At night it’s the worst because I get super depressed sometimes thinking if life would be better if I’m not here. And sometimes I just wrap my arms around my legs and I just rock slowly. Other times I have a burst of energy at night and I feel high and mighty and I would have trouble sleeping. Normally the day after I wake up normal and baffled on why I had a episode like that. I kinda feel like I’m not really I touch with reality. I do take medication to level out my mood swings. I don’t really know if there’s a point to go to the doctor sometimes I feel like I need to but then when I’m normal I don’t think I need to go.

Hi King Z

Thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like things are pretty confusing for you at the moment. I'm really sorry that you're having such a tough time.

I think it's really important for you to touch base with your doctor to explore what's happening for you. Do you have a psych? If not, I'd suggest a double appointment with your GP. Life can, and does, get better.

I hope you're okay tonight. Thinking of you. Post any time.
