Feeling Disconnected, Detached From Surroundings Posted: 05-31-07 15:25pm
I have been feeling very weird for the
last 2 months or so. I'm not sure why but
i think it may be because i'm a teenager
and my hormones are unstable.
If anyone knows what problem this may be
or if they've experienced the same thing,
please let me know,
What exactly are your symptoms? Feeling
"weird" is not specific enough. And yes,
as a teenager, your hormones may be out of
whack, because your body is developing
into an adult body. You may feel very
moody at times.
Do you feel any anxiety symptoms or
depressive symptoms?
- shaking
- detachment, feeling on ungroundedness
- slurred speech
- confused state of mind
- panic
- fear
- sad for more than a month
- chronically tired (but this could be a
growing body sign as well)
- stressed
At your age, feeling weird is definitely
likely and nothing to be alarmed about
unless your symptoms get worst. I hope
this helps.

I feel stressed out with exams and I have
trouble with peers at school. My
confidence is quite low and I also feel
ungrounded. When I look around, I don't
feel like I'm properly here.
I do know people who have had a similar
feeling but it's impossible to know if
they had the same thing as I do.
Thanks for the reassurance.

Have you talked to your parents? Feeling
awkward as a teenager is normal but if it
is too bad you need to talk to someone.
My daughter went through a stage where she
didnt know where she fit in. After over a
year of counseling and talking to her, she
seems to find her way. Try doing
something new everyday. If you are afraid
to meet new people, introduce yourself to
just one. Thats what I do. You need to
find your inner confidence and know that
you are ok. Your are not alone. Tell
your doctor also about how your feel.
Sometimes temporary meds can work wonders.
Remember one thing, at your age you go
through life everything is temporary. The
kids you know now will probably not matter
to you after school. Be proud of who you
are and set goals for yourself and stick
to them. I'm almost 40 and almost
everyday I wonder what my purpose is.
Just be you, I'm sure there are alot of
people who are ok with just you.
