I am 19 years old and strange things have been happening to me for 4 months - I don't recognize myself. I have the impression that my life is a movie, and I am a spectator and I watch it, besides, my time flies very quickly (when I remember in the evening until morning, it seems to me that it did not happen today, but a very long time ago), and in addition, fears, anxiety (in a situation that is completely safe), intrusive thoughts (that I have some disease and returning to the past), difficulty remembering something, difficulty concentrating and reading comprehension, mood swings, tiredness during the day, depersonalization and unreal, no feeling like it used to be (any argument with my friends, I had a lot of experience), sensitivity to light, headaches, muscle aches, tingling and numbness in the limbs and abdominal pain (splashing, gurgling). Even so, sometimes I have the feeling that everything is fine and my life looks normal, but sometimes these symptoms worsen and I am the wreckage of a man who is turned off and absent. After a month of experiencing these symptoms, I did a complete set of tests and everything turned out fine, I also saw a psychiatrist who prescribed me Pramolan, but he said nothing special; a psychologist who said that I was eaten by stress and these are symptoms of chronic stress; an ophthalmologist who said everything was normal. I am begging you for advice, because all this is beyond me and I am fed up with it all. I also started studies - law - but if it continues like this, I will not be able to do it, and I dreamed (not only me) about becoming a lawyer …
Thank you for the letter, a bit disturbing. Unfortunately, the psychological symptoms have their own social and emotional context, because we do not live in a vacuum. I wonder who else dreamed that you would become a lawyer? what is behind someone's dream - expectations? coercion? joy? In what situations do symptoms worsen? It would make best sense to go back to a psychiatrist, perhaps to another. The fact that Pramolan did not help does not mean anything and does not exclude that another drug will help. Perhaps it is worth thinking about relaxation, rest, because all this will surely tire you - this will be the domain of a psychologist. But please find a psychotherapist, because diagnosis alone does not cure. You will definitely have to tell a lot about yourself, only after that you will be able to do some effective action.
