This may end up being a little long. But i will try to keep it to the point. Alright so i am a girl, age 17 and fear that i have some sort of psychological problem, or multiple. I have done much research and even took AP psychology this past year which may have put the wrong ideas in my head. Anyways, to start out with i get really frustrated when things aren't clean. My room is always spotless and i make my bed each morning, and when i see dust starting to develop anywhere i get in to an immediate cleaning mode. Some days are worse than others, but overall my family is kind of messy and i am always cleaning up after them. I have a routine where i go into the bathroom that i share with my two older brothers and i will sometimes literally get on my hands and knees and scrub the toilet and its surroundings. I have pet peeves with how the way the pillows are arranged on the couches in my house and if theres a table cloth on the dining room table i have to take it off because i just get bothered by it. Tonight i went a little crazy and vacuumed at 10:30 pm because i have been gone for 2 days. I also stuck post it notes around the house stating to "learn how to clean or else" now looking back at that i'm a little scared about myself. Theres other things that i do but i think i got to the point. Another issue i have is anxiety. i am not diagnosed with it neither have i really talked about it with anyone in a serious matter. I try to avoid situations where i know i may end up getting embarrassed. I literally sweat under my arms for no reason at all. I'll put on a shirt in the morning and by the time i get to school i have pit stains.i also hav really shaky hands and a fast heartbeat. At night its really hard for me to get to sleep, i get this paranoid feeling about death, and i feel like my heart stops so i am always checking my pulse. Its strange, i know. Also by the way i literally havent talked to anyone about my concerns, i am an overall popular girl and hang out with friends daily. People think i am a happy beautiful girl but sometimes i really feel like i live a double life. Not to be dramatic but its true. Two days ago it was my birthday and i hate the attention people get for it being their birthday..so much that i just get really annoyed, i told my family not to by me a cake yet they did...i just get angry about it not around my friends but a little to my family. i tend to keep these things to myself..so much so i woke up this morning and i literally couldn't get out of bed because i had such a hard time falling asleep in the first place and i just felt super annoyed for no reason. Sometimes me and my friends joke that i need to put a "do not disturb" sign on me. Anyway when i finally decided i better wake up and do something today i went to the kitchen to make my banana choc chip muffins that everyone loves (also i love to make others happy or impressed even if its out of my way) and i was half way through making them when i realized we were out of eggs. in a quiet,angry,annoyed voice i said "are you kidding me we dont have eggs?" to my mom and didn't let her respond i just dropped everything and walked to my room and slammed the door going to my bed and i just started crying. Sorry for that some what pointless story but im just concerned about myself. Some more things about me are that i have a fear of peanut butter, and nuts in general because im scared if i eat them ill get an allergic reaction, same way goes with medication and pills.Most days i try to keep myself together but there are at least once a week where i just breakdown, not in front of others but to myself. i have thought about suicide but then a minute later i realize how messed up that is and i know i would never take my own life. I just get so down and ignore my phone and try to cry but literally sometimes no tears will come. Are these things a normal part of being a teen or do i need help? Thank you so much if you took the time to read this, i really do appreciate it.

They aren't really "normal" but may be normal by today's standards since so many people experience these thought... so what exactly does normal mean? You may have a brain malfunction, you may need meds or you may just be experiencing the normal ups and downs of teenage hormones, only you are more high strung. Who knows? A doctor might help you out or they may pump you full of meds. Try natural ways first, Try yoga to help you calm down, really it helps me a lot. You can download some yoga exercises online or get a book or dvd at the library or book store.
I had brain surgery almost a year ago and ever since then, I get sooo angry, so fast. I also get the feeling that if something is not exactly right, I need to fix it RIGHT NOW. And it bothers me A LOT when it's not fixed RIGHT F********** NOW!!! I just can't wait!!! But doing yoga and breathing exercises has helped me a lot. Maybe you can try those too and good luck!!

Im not neing mean, but i think a therapist would be best(: you seem really sweet but you really need to see a proffessional about these things. Then you wont feel so annoyed and stuff. They will also help overcome your fears of nuts(: the cleaning thing is semi normal. A lot of people freak really easily about being clean but you are a wee bit over the top. Again, a proffessional would help tons(:
Xont take this the wrng way, i jist wanna help!
