bipolar, OCD, depression Posted: 01-14-08 21:44pm
Hi, I'm new here and I have been dealing
with some issues for the past two years.
I'm a 14 year old male and nothing
traumatic has happened in these past years
and I wondering if i might be
schizophrenic. I've been diagnosed with
bipolar, ODD, and depression since last
year. But lately people have been extra
worried about me. I really dont see
anything wrong with me. I've been doing
these things since I was a 5 but no one
said anything then. Well, anyways, I've
been talking in a British accent
everywhere I go (just for the fun of it),
people have been telling me that I dont
make sense when I talk and I've been
singing to the top of my lungs to every
song I can think of (I really dont know
why). I've suddenly started to hate my
brother and be very self-centered. My
child doctor thought it was just me beng
smart and creative because I had a very
high I.Q. So they just put me in gifted
classes but I still think its something
other than that, I become very obsessive
with things.I've stopped cutting my hair
and I go on eating binges and the binges
last for weeks where I eat too much or
where I dont eat enough. Im really
paranoid and I always think someone is
trying to do something to me all the time
which is why I'm so mean and defensive.
I've been very manipulative and I havent
been going to school all year. I'm very
touchy on too many subjects and I hate
talking about things unless I'm going to
be the only one talking. I wake up in the
evenings and stay up till 7:00 in the
morning. I act like i'm a different person
usually because I'm bored and when I'm
bored I think of crazy things, I curse a
lot for no reason and my head has been
really swimmng lately. I take remron,
abilify, and paxil but they just make me
go to sleep. It seems that this has all
happened at once. I'm really critical and
talk about people in front of there face
or behind theyre back. What is it ? Could
it be hereditary since my younger sister
is bipolar, has depression, ODD, and ADD
and my father is a recovering alcoholic ?
I really dont know whats going on. If you
coud help I would really appreciate it.
Ive also had 5 surgeries on my head in 3
years for headaches could that also be it
? I have no emotions or feelings towards
anyone and I laugh at sad or bad things.
Could this be schizophrenia ?

What a life and you are only 14? Son, what
type of surgeries have you had for
headaches? I was not aware there were
surgeries performed for this. You have so
much going on in your life and you feel
you are loosing control. You are ery
intelligent. So you will understand when I
tell you, you only have one life. You get
to choose to life it to the fullest, or
allow yourself to wallow in a self pity
pool. Control is the issue here......Until
you have come close to death, you will
never appreciate the things most IMPORTANT
in your life.....your brother being one of
those. If he were taken tomorrow, could
you live wiht youself how you feel about
him and how you treat him? Please don't
cop the bad ass attitude and say YES. We
can't get time back. I was diag. as a
depressed child myself, been through a
hell of a lot myself. i have a daughter
who will be 25 this year. You do the
British Accent thing and sing to the top
of your lungs for attention.Its also why
you are self centered.....you are craving
attention. I am also OCD. Not as bad as I
use to be. Do you not have a neuro doctor
because of the headaches? Are you not
seeing a psychologist? They have worked
miracles in my life! Your going through
changes in your life as well, so hormones
play a lot on this. Feel free to PM me if
you'd like. Not sure I can help but at
least I can listen. I think you might also
talk to your Dr. about the problems you
are having the drug combo needs to be
checked into. Obviously they AREN'T
WORKING! Not about to give up on you, I
think you are a lot smarter than you give
yourself credit for!
