Is Something Wrong With Me Or Am I Just Worried Over Nothing Posted: 11-10-07 18:36pm


I'm 15, and I don't know how to say this, so I'll try the best I can. Sometimes I'll be laying down in my bed, and I'll just be resting trying to sleep without being even half asleep or anything, and suddenly in my head I'll get a feeling in my head and it wakes me up. Inside my head will feel cold and I'll be wide awake, and tired at the same time. I don't think it is me just getting woken up out of some near half-asleep thing, because it happens a lot and has a different feel. And sometimes I'll be saying something or typing something like this post, and suddenly I'll forget what I was just thinking about! It's wierd, I can NEVER remember anything. I barely remember what I was just thinking about. And sometimes I'll be laying down in my bed and I feel some wierd click, or pop inside my head. Not a psychical thing, but I hear something, and it wakes me up. Then my head feels wierd like there's some empty space in it. Anyone know what's going on? Sorry for the bad description. Also, I'm 99% sure I'm depressed, if that helps anyone(they say you can't remember things as easy, though I'll be thinking something and then I'll suddenly stop and forget what I was thinking about).

What makes you so sure you are depressed? Are you having other emotional symptoms that you didn't mention? Forgetfulness itself is not enough to indicate depression.

Oh this isn't the thread where I said I was depressed, can never concnetrate, i dont care for much, masturbatiing isnt much fun, and other things. but still this is a thread for my head problem.. It happened last night too. I'm calm in my bed and suddenly I feel like, when you are sleeping in school and you wake up. the feeling of relaxation you feel, of waking up and having energy, I feel that through my body, but i feel it especially in my head. it's random too, no noises or anything. but last night it happened twice and i heard some noise when it happened. It was accompanied with whatever kept me up, as the sound wasn't really there. I just imagined hearing it as it pulled me out of my sleep state (whatever it's called) Sorry.. I can't think right now

I have to say that it sounds fairly normal to me. At least, it happens to me too, just a startle (caused by nothing) that jolts you awake (or alert). It happens to me when I am tired.

It's not a startle because I don't feel shock, I just suddenly get awakened

sure, I know what you mean. Maybe I'm just not explaining it well. Sometimes when I'm drifting to sleep or relaxing I'm just suddenly more alert- as if I'd heard a noise but there wasn't any.

I would suggest getting an MRI soon, you don'person go in for a check up and realize youre facing a serious problem that could have been prevented.

The 'pop' in your head may well be a physical thing such as a nasal blockage (polyp, etc) and you awake with a start because it has disturbed your breathing. Next day, you are wiped out because you have not slept a deep and proper sleep, and this makes you forgetful. I know this scenario only too well because I suffer from it too. You need to take all this to a doctor and have your airways checked.

I have just read your profile and the fact that you say you are overweight makes me more confident in my belief that you have sleep deprivation because of your faulty airways. This is a common occurence in overweight people. It can also lead to depression. it's all related!

HI Son, Not srue what has happened in your life to cause you to have such low self esteem. Sure, lots of us gorw up with divorced parents and thye seem to only have time for their "new sifnicant other". So, its kinda up to us to make it or break it. You are 15 years old. You have to realize you watn and need help, otherwise you would not have taken that first BIG STEP and written heree........Knowing someone (like me and other) would try to offer some advice. I've been diagnosed as depressed for almost 40 years! My folks separated when I was six. I went thorough some crap in my life and the comfort eating and being called the fat girl and all other kinds of names......I know what its like to stand outside and cry for hours and wish you were dead............ and this was during a crappy marriage and having a 6 year old to rasie on my own. I asked God to help me I could not do this anymore alone. In order for him ot help me I had to help myself. Get up,. wipe yourself off and start over. You are someone special. You have the power to cahnge the situation you are in. Either you can start eating healthy, exercising and volunteering to help out as in local animal shelters, senior centers, somewhere someone else will need you and you will feel needed. Make school a top priority....If you want others to like you ,you first have to like and believe in yourself. Start taking better care of yourself and feel confident. Look in hte mirror everyday and Thank God for allowing you to have this great day.....ask him to help you to become a better person and to at least let you find someone who needs tyou to make them smile. Apply yourself in school and make good grades, go to a technical school if you aren't ready for college just yet and learn a trade. You will make great friends there as well, because you are all together in a field you want to a goal toward. If yo uhonestly feel something is not right in your head, by all means find a physican who can refer you to a psycologist or neuroloy clinic. At elast you can rule this out. I bet once you change your diet, and get exercise and start having a positive attitude......better self esteem, you may find you can sleep a more restful sleep. Dream of looking forward to what you can do for others.....I won;t allow something to control me..........kinda like cigarettes, I finally took control over them 15 years ago and once I did that, I knew I could battle anything. I believe in you and I don't even know you............but I know somewhere deep inside you is a great guy trying to get out and someone who can be anything they put their mind too! HUGS! Keep in touch!
