Is this crazy for a teenager?

I'm 16 and really been going through a lot of stress, depression, and many other problems. To deal with them I decided to get high off DXM-laced cough syrup. Unfortunately I haven't really been taking enough to get high(only 200 mg of DXM). When I was going to the store I turned my feet side ways and started spinning my feet forward. I would sing songs like "Barack Obama is with yo mama" and my laughs were getting faster and faster. I also had a lot of energy too. My friends who get high off DXM tell me my experience was not normal and nothing like what the drug is supposed to do.

Am I really going crazy from all my problems? Is this just mild?

Update:

I'm not trolling this is serious. My mom says I was just acting up but I wasn't. I also know this isn't what DXM is supposed to do to you. Rather it sounds like something my Schizophrenic uncle would have

Update 2:

Sarah: Yes I am. I've been trying to cope with my problems with drugs but now it's starting to get weird.

    ive only tried getting high off DXM laced cough syrup once and i guess i didn't drink that much cuz my reactions were just slow maybe my speech was slurred and everything was just kinda relaxing but hazy so i really don't know why you acted like that. did you mix it with anything? i mean i've done drugs while dealing with depression and anxiety and sh*t so idk if that even has to do with it.

    You are a real stupid dum as to get into any form of a drug to scape from problems... if you wanna scape a problem there are better ways like running away from the problems but i prefer you solve it you can do it try hard still if you can't try more harder but if you feel there isn't answer for your problems or you think its not worth to try that much hard to solve that problem - Then here is what I'm gonna tell you "any country would be big enough for a person to start your life - so start each everything as you just born which were related to your problem eg: if the job bothers you find a new one if city makes it hard for you to start your life again change the city like wise but always keep the experience with you so that you won't do the same mistake twice perhaps at least three times" Good luck you can do it don't hurt your self with drug for any reason hurt your problem not you,you to your self...

    Dude, chemicals like that will really eff you up. They do liver and kidney damage, as well as can cause significant damage to brain tissues if taken in high enough doses.

    Well, i've never tripped off dxm so i dont know what the experience is supposed to be, but you definitely need to find a better outlet for your stress and anxiety. Drugs suck, they just make your problems worse, and you can only stick to cough syrup for so long before that stops working and you go on to harder drugs.

    Why dont you try talking to your parents and ask for counseling, to help with the anxiety, you dont have to mention the drugs, but you might want to, so they know how desperate you are.

    In the future, i suggest just sticking with weed. Atleast with that you cant overdose.

    OK that sounds like slightly wacky behaviour to me but I don't think cough syrup is the answer to your problems...in fact stop taking that and start dealing with your issues more sensibly. I don't think it's unusal for someone of your age to suffer depression etc, quite common in fact, but to be honest you need to seek professional advice or speak to people you know and trust about these problems because I don't think you're dealing with them in the best way. Try to understand the cause of your depression and see if you can find something in your life to distract you from feeling that way. A hobby, activity, a girlfriend even - anything to make you feel better about yourself. You're the only person who can reall take care of you. Good luck.

    When you robo trip you get numb and dizzy feel drunk I guess you can say but then you could get where nothing seems real and you fall asleep everywhere most the time no one knows you are on it. You must have just been overly tired since you didn't get high. I wouldn't worry about it to much but getting high from this sucks and you feel like crap for 2-3 days after and you can get addicted to it weird but true.

    Run around in babies R Us and play tag. Lmao I basically have been given returned from doing that. Uhm, fooling around in shops, like cover n' look for, tag, and so on. Going to the park. those are literally basically exciting issues, no longer incredibly loopy. TPing properties, bagging them (putting chips everywhere in the backyard) , stupid stringing their pals properties. Out of love ha.

    You should probably stop taking DXM.

    That's odd & I've never had it happen to me before. Maybe try it again and see if it still happens.
