Hi.
I've been sick with an eating disorder and am in recovery. I've been on bed rest for nearly 8 weeks unable to do much besides watch television and use the computer, with limited washroom breaks. I also had a severe anxiety disorder which seems to have diminished during the first couple weeks of recovery but has been spurred into something I think could be more serious.
Some effects I have noted are
Increased anxiety.
Familiar people, words, music, etc. seem unfamiliar sometimes, even though I know who they are.
Extremely bizarre thoughts about extraterrestrial life and people being such (Even though I know this is untrue.)
Fears of going insane (due to aforementioned thoughts).
Distrust.
Depression, no longer enjoy anything.
Constantly analyzing and questioning things.
Restless legs.
Trouble sleeping.
Constant intrusive thoughts.
Memory impairment.
Constantly questioning why the way things are.
Would this be along the lines of a normal reaction to such, or has this experience spurred something more? Is this serious and is it reversible?
I'm a 14 year old male and mental illness doesn't appear to run in my family, if that makes a difference.
Thanks.
