I feel kinda high?

[mscloud9]

well I'm not entirely sure if this is the same feeling as being high cause I've never been high but I categorize it as it being difficult to move, speak, and even think. My words never come out right and my actions are pretty delayed. Things are funny but I laugh kinda strange, like it doesn't seem like a genuine laugh. My head feels like it's not attached to my body. I feel detached from myself basically. But I get this like at least twice a week and it can last from three hours to three days. I don't get anxiety from it directly. I get anxiety from the fact that it causes me to become really slow in my work at school so I can never get anything done. I almost got into some deep trouble because my teacher thought I was on drugs! All my friends think I'm a pothead and I try to tell them I'm not but they're just like "yeah, whatever". I think it gets worse when I'm in a situation that makes me anxious, like at parties or on testing days(which is not helpful at all) I like to think of it as a coping mechanism. I'm scared to go to my doctor cause she already thinks I'm crazy. I tried telling my mom about all this awhile ago, as I've delt with it for at least two years now (I'm 15 now) but she said I was just lazy :( I just don't know how to deal with it anymore

Hey.. im really sorry to hear that your going through this at such a young age! I know its terrible.. its such a crappy thing to go through.. first of all you are not crazy and you arent alone .. ive had anxiety for a month but ive learnt to control it. I hope i can help you.. i need you to talk to yourself..  i know that makes you seem even more crazy but your not. The only way you can overcome this is by controlling your thoughts.. if you have had this for a year n nothing bad has happened then there is definately nothing wrong with you.... wen uou feel the symptoms again i need you to tell yourself that you are fine.. there is no stress and you are alive.. take deep breaths and telax focus on your school work so you dont focus on your symptoms.. its very difficult and its not guna happen over night you need to stay strong and positive.. thats really the onky cure my friend... justpush through.. dont get upset about it cos it makes it worse.. just go with the motion..

Ask your parents to get blood work done.

Test:
25 OH Vitamin D
Magnesium RBC
Vitamin B12
Iron
Serum ferritin


If your levels are low that can cause a brain fog/detached feeling.
Not being able to say the right words, just taking forever to get them out. Causes fatigue and sleep issues among other things.

I felt sick for years. Then got internal tremors that never go away. If you don't insist on getting the blood work you'll never know where your levels are and may feel worse as time goes on. I know how upsetting it is to be told your lazy or making it up, it happened to me too. You know your body  if it doesn't feel normal, it's not.

You want your Vitamin D3 level to be above 50ng/mL
60-80ng/mL is the best range.

You want your ferritin level to be above 50ng/mL
Vitamin B12 to be close to 800

If your levels are low your parents can buy supplements over the counter. You then need to re-test blood work 3 months after starting supplements in order to monitor blood levels.

D3 is made in the body from UVB rays from the sun. Those rays aren't available year round (or at all hours the sun is out), so levels drop in the winter. If you don't get sun in the summer your levels don't rebuild. There's not enough D3 in foods to adequately keep levels up so most people need to take D3 supplements for life to have good levels. They take less in the summer if they get UVB sun rays and more in the winter. That way their levels will stay even.

Magnesium needs to be taken with D3 daily. It works with muscles and many other functions in your body.

If you have heavy menstrual periods you're losing iron.

Deficiencies in these vitamins & minerals cause various symptoms.
Here are some:

Fatigue
Brain fog / memory problems
Body / bone pain
Muscle weakness
Dizziness
Headaches / migraines
Heart palpitations
Anxiety
Depression
Vision problems
Internal tremors
Tingling in the body
