Ok, so I feel like I'm slowly losing the plot, I can't think properly, Help? :/
At school and at home, my brain has got into a motion when I cannot think properly, and apparently I'm quite intelligent? Maybe cause I wear glasses who knows?
And I feel everyone jeeps looking at me smiling, like they know something about me I don't? I feel I'm losing the plot...
I think sleep is an option, I don't know, I kinda have a cold and I feel things are getting to me trying to piss me off but I'm handling it...
Worrying it'll push me to the edge of doing something stupid... Help? Please? (Not trying to seem like I'm on the verge of death, but advice would help, please)
Obviously cause I can type this I'm not completely lost but still... :O -

This might be because of your personal circumstances, like has something been happening in your life, that is making you feel depressed and upset? If not, then I think you should sleep, and relax and don't think negatively.
Hope this helps!

sleep 9 hours every day
exercise twice everyday
do you take weed/add medication/whatever substances?
are you around a supportive circle of friends and family
have you been watching or reading anything that might have caused this?
are you in the middle of a stressful event in life? or have experienced recent sudden change? could be anything from family event to growing up stuff to moving schools to witnessing whatever.. or anything unreconciled in your past?
do you keep a journal? do you draw? i recommend having a creative/manual therapeutic outlet of some sort + at least 1 caring, non-judgemental friend + getting involved in your community
do you have a history of social anxiety and agoraphobia? how about panic/anxiety attacks?
try to spend quite a bit of time alone with nature if you can.. parks, sunrise, ocean.. etc
do you have a history of impulse control behaviour like stealing, gambling, cutting, etc? if so, recognise when the impulse hits and play a game like tell yourself you will do something different (not destructive to yourself or others).

Re: Ok, so I feel like I'm slowly losing the plot, I can't think properly, Help? :/
Take some time out to just 'be'.
I sometimes find lying down in a dark room. Just breathing slowly, and trying to stay aware of all the bodily sensations to be very helpful.
You're probably not 'loosing the plot'. Not many people do end up loosing the plot.
Lots of people will go through phases of feeling like this, and they pass - sometimes they take a while, but far more often than not, they do pass.
It sounds like you're mostly very anxious and wound up.
I think the above poster has given some good advice, but also be gentle on yourself.

9 hours a day, exercise twice everyday (if I have time, exams start next week...), iv never taken drugs in my life but I have been having 1 vitamin thing a day recently, I stopped yesterday and feel a little better but that can't be an affect on me mentally, can it? I'll see how today treats me...(Original post by zosolobos0)

Not as supportive as I would like it to be, I feel like to many people have to much on their plate to worry... And I often always consult them with their problems, all I do is listen!
Iv limited myself to low Twitter and Facebook time, and tv as well to 'try revise' I keep a notepad to jot down ideas for my YouTube videos...
I haven't had a history with this stuff I think, and I like alone time sometimes, so that's a good thought that I should take some more...
I also don't think I have an impulse history, if I feel I'm losing it more, I'll PM you... Thanks
