I am currently 14, and have questioned myself numerous times on whether or not I can conclude if I have a mental illness so I'll see what you think. Every so often, ill see something in the corner of my eye, making it hard to make a figure out of, for that soon enough, it turns in to nothing. Sometimes it looks like my deceased dog, sometimes it
looks like a woman. Another issue I have noticed is that I talk to inanimate objects and my dog. It's not everyday "Hey boy," I begin conversations with my dog, or with other things like Lego people, and plush toys from younger years. I'll talk about random topics, eventually socializing in to a deep meaning. I treat these things as friends when I get home. It's most likely because they are the only things that listen and do not question. I think a lot. I would rather be inside of my mind, deep thinking random topics than to share a conversation with a friend. I am a bit quiet when at school, and is because I stutter or trip over words when I talk, but I do care for making friends. A big issue I'm facing is my obsession with stabbing filled water bottles as an attempt to entertain myself. I can control my anger, but I just don't want my sisters to see me doing something so sickening that would resemble harm to a human being. To answer the big question, I do have thoughts of suicide, but laugh it off. Here is my point of view on the topic to see how I were to think: "To me, suicide is quitters talk for people who cant deal with the problems everyone else has daily; those who commit suicide are weak, weak and consumed by fear and stress, two emotions the body can live without."
Now you know me, I would like advice on whether or not I am developing a mental illness, and whether or not I should see help before whatever I have gets worse. Am I developing illness? Or am I just another hormonal teenager who is just off his game?
Thanks for the answers
