For the past 6 months, I've felt like I was really out of character and I didn't know who I was anymore. Since I'm young (just turned 17), I figured I was going through an identity crisis that would blow over eventually. But the feeling of being lost was bothering me and I decided last week to smoke a joint with a friend and just chill out. The whole time I was high, I was self-conscious around my buddy and all I could think about was how crazy I am. I tried to sleep it off but I was so damn paranoid about being insane. I couldn't fall asleep and I think I eventually convinced myself that I'm crazy. After I woke up from that, I feel like a whole different person. My brain activity feels dead. My head is completely blank, unless I bring up a topic to think about - which then I'd think into depth and over analyze. I tried reading, but I can't indulge in the story anymore. I tried to occupy myself with friends, but I never know what to say. I try explaining how I feel to my friends and my mom, but I don't think they believe me. My mom's looking for a therapist, but I don't think that will help. I think there's something wrong with my head. I don't think I can live my life like this anymore. I've never felt this scared before.
