What is wrong...

[calm_rage]

I need everyone's opinion. I have all these different things wrong with me but I just dont know which doctor to go see, how to describe to them how I really feel etc so I thought I'd come on here for help. Below is a list, opinions much appreciated:

 

- I am easily irritated by constant motions, like hand tapping, people scratching. I actually have to look away so I cannot see it at all and yet I am still annoyed because I know it is happening. It has always been an annoyance but I am starting to get REALLY angry over it.

 

- I pick up a twitch, a nostril flare etc and do it constantly for months. For 2 months I kept flaring my nostrils, moving my nose around and then it switched to my left cheek twitching. I cant determine what triggers it, but I think I may only do it if I am not doing anything. Say at work I am running around, busy I dont think I do it but as soon as I sit down it starts around. It is quite embarassing as I dont want anyone to know it is happening.

 

- I don't sleep well. Some nights I will stay awake until 2 in the morning even though I am physically tired. I have tried music, incense etc but nothing works. I dont believe in sleeping pills, I actually do get a fair amount of sleep but I cant sleep in until 9 every day.

 

- I always have an elevated body temperature. I am not ill, yet It can be warm and I am boiling hot. This does not help at work where it is airconditioned but I am under bright lights.

 

- I don't handle it well when I am say on the computer, watching television or on the phone and someone at home talks to me. I become rude and annoyed even if I was happy as can be a minute before. It's like I go into my own little world and I cant stand it when anyone intrudes in on it until I am good and ready.

 

Many more but I will be going on forever. Anyone's opinions?

I can't diagnose you online, nor should I make assumptions as I'm not a doctor...And I don't want to freak you out..

 

You need a FULL physical asap and tell your Dr ALL your symptoms. Bring that list too so they know how you're feeling.

sounds like an issue with anxiety, of course I don't know, you really should see someone maybe there is an easy resolution to it. Is there something awful on your mind or something really bad that has happened to you that you feel a need to go into your own little world and can't stand being brought back into reality?

Okay the nostrils flaring and such is turrets. People think turrets is yelling randomly, but when I was 2 I was diagnosed with it with just little ticks and twitches like that. I grew out of it though.

 

I also think you may be bipolar. I was improperly diagnosed and treated for it for years and finally convinced my doctor I didn't have it, so I've done a lot of research on it. It sounds like little things are upsetting you for really no reason and you can't explain why.

 

I also think there might be two reasons for things people do bothering you and you not being able to watch it but still bothered. there's a chance you have OCD or something along those lines if it bothers you every time to an extreme. OR I've read that certain forms or high-functioning autism like aspergers syndrome might cause that. I remember reading something that there is usually one thing the person always has to do or there could also be something they absolutely cannot tolerate seeing or doing.

 

 

Hope that helped? If you go see a doctor maybe tell them the possibilities I gave. It'll probably help them to have something to attempt to narrow it down to. Otherwise it could take forever to figure out. Doctors from age 2 to age 14 tried to properly diagnose and treat me, and after all that decided I had grown out of turrets and a bunch of other things I had when I was younger and the rest of my "problems" were not mental health issues that needed medication. So any help you can give them will be appreciated. Good luck.
