But yeah, puberty also sounds pretty... accurate. Like I said, give it a month.

It's off and on. It started, I noticed, in mid-March. My dad came home from the hospital after four months, of which he was close to death at a point, and then, I was sad, but I actually tried to ignore these feelings by playing video games or just escaping from the problem. Then, in mid-March, I started feeling anxious and jittery for the first time, unable to sleep. I do remember being younger and not being to sleep, being anxious and walking up around at night, but this was only about four months when I was eight.Carlist Fern said:How long has this been happening?

I felt "bothered" in late March, like something was just nagging at me. Just anything that came to mind. I did feel some form of sadness then, yes. Like, maybe it wouldn't be so bad if tomorrow didn't come. Not that I hated the world, but I just didn't really care.
Yet, the "normal" me is, truthfully, this anxious person when I'm not around my family or my thoughts. When I'm out around people I don't exactly know well. I experienced this first when I was in sixth grade, and it's been a normal, day-to-day annoying piece of *censored.2.0* I wish I could just throw away and forget, and not feel like that. I try to ask myself why I feel this way, so "kept to myself" sometimes, yet...I dunno. The Internet is different, because no one sees your face. No one knows you, or will ever see you. Which is why I only talk about this stuff like here with someone I know well, who won't call me a lunatic.
Also, though, whenever I feel "anxious" and "hyper", I don't seem to care as much as to what people think. I really just feel like being myself and saying "I don't care what you think, I'll do what I'm doing."
But anyway, I started feeling anxious again this week. Since this whole thing has started, I've noticed I've been really interested in creative things. Before, I started to draw in late December when I was down deep inside about my dad on the brink of death. I then took a break and played video games for awhile, until mid-March. Since then, I've written 50+ pages in two weeks, and drawn for about 60+ hours in total in pictures. They say artists like Vincent Van Gogh were bipolar, but I wouldn't call myself that yet. I hope not. Either way, it is who I am, and I can't really change that. I know that my family has a pretty bad line of anxiety, though.
Not exactly, though. I think of it more as a way to just ignore everything else, or that's how I feel sometimes. And I'm not always angry or anything, I wouldn't think. Right now I'm not agitated, I just said today, I felt spurs of strong agitation. I'm really a calm person 99% of the time.

it could be the feelings from when your dad was sick, and then just little things since then that have bottled up inside you and you need a way to get them out. and youre substituing shoving people with arts.Kaleb said:Not exactly, though.

I've always liked drawing, though. I drew a lot in late December as well. But, I don't feel that anger and sadness and drawing are the main things. Right now I'm actually pretty hyper and happy, think I'm gonna go outside. I'm not an angry person, and if I have some sort of problem, it'd be more with anxiety, jitteryness, and sometimes even, being really happy. I used to write a ton when I was younger too, I probably have around 2,000 pages of things I've wrote when I was in Elementary school. I used to draw a lot, then too. It's really just that I like to be creative because I'm simply substituting video games with creativity. Anyway, that's all I gotta say, I'm feeling fine, going outside, good day.David said:it could be the feelings from when your dad was sick, and then just little things since then that have bottled up inside you and you need a way to get them out. and youre substituing shoving people with arts.Kaleb said:Not exactly, though.

I'd rather accept that out of these responses. Because I know depression and bipolar disorder includes depression, and that's the last of what I have. It's just been overloading my minds with thoughts and drawing a lot, which is what I've always liked to do. I don't consider it a "remedy" to what I have, because I don't have anything wrong. I've been drawing, writing, and listening to music, excersizing, and also talking a lot more, so it's all for the better. I hardly am ever sad or down about anything, only when I get lost in deep thought. I am irritated, I've realized, because I'm suffering from not a full night of sleep in the past two days. I'll be fine tomorrow. School just has been lasting too longiFly said:> you could possibly be maturingKaleb said:I've always liked drawing, though. I drew a lot in late December as well.

With deep thoughts are perplexing questions; you could be finding yourself.
Or still, puberty.
