I feel I'm going crazy and can't control myself. Help

I have tried looking up on advice on the Internet but seem to not find anything, I've got nowhere to go. I am 17 years old I have struggled with dyslexia and feel things are going crazy and I don't know what to do. I don't know if these problems I'm having link to my dyslexia or I'm just having problems. Can you help. When It comes to reading I avoid it as much as possible as when I read black on white the White blanks start to shake and vibrate which is very irritating and frustrates me. Also I hate noises. Especially repetitive ones. Simple things like chewing, singing, beeping, dogs barking so on. I get so angry and upset when a noise is repeative and I feel I'm going crazy. My younger brother gets me angry a lot as he taps and does annoying noises. I feel I lose control over myself and brake down. I also feel when I read something or am told something my brain can not function and I become confused. I seem to get lost a lot. Recently I have been geting worse I seem to be happy then one silly thing get me so annoyed and angry. My emotions are crazy when I become annoyed. I'm really beginning to struggle with myself and I feel like I'm going insane. I need to sort myself out. I don't know what's happening. I don't seem to be happy often and if I am it's not for very long. I don't know what is going on I feel I'm going crazy. This may seem weird but smells seem to bug me to and textures of foods. Every time i eat off any plate or drink from any glass I have to wash it otherwise I can smell a weird smell or taste it. This is a problem when out. I am also awful at making decisions . When it comes to making a decision I can't even if it's something simple and not important. I brake down and become angry and never make the decision. Am I just crazy and is it nothing. I need help as all these little problems plus more are affecting my daily life. Thanks.

    Hi cerajen,

    Do you have any form of support for your dyslexia problems....did youreceive help at school or from any other organization.....it sounds as

    Though you may be suffering from depression so it might be very worth-

    While visiting you doctor or practice nurse and being totally honest about how bad you are feeling......also at your age it is very, very

    Common to feel this way, so do not feel guilty about it..can you talk to

    Your mum? Or a close friend just to get it of your chest.. when you have

    Any form of tension or anxiety, all of your senses ( eg, smell , taste and

    Noise ) are heightened totally... so please try not to worry or stress too

    Much, but Please, please talk to someone... very sincere wishes to you.

    Take care, Deirdre x

      Thank you very much I used to during high school and primary school but stopped at year 9 as I was sitting GCSEs and couldn't afford to miss any lessons. Now I just get a reader during my exams no support no nothing. But at my age I shouldn't need support. That's a problem I'm not comfortable with anyone that's why I've resulted to this site. I'm embarssed. I thought posting on here could help with how to deal with things myself as someone may have an idea how to cope.

    Dear Cara, by what you describe you may be suffering from depression, it is identical to what i feel when i,m really down, some of us are prone to this, i am lots older than you and have had it all my life, go talk to your doctor.   You have all your life ahead of you so take care. Ann x

      Ann how do you deal with these things. I feel I can't anymore and I've pushed so many people away from me. I think I need to see a doctor but I'm scared I can't go to a doctors they are to deal with your health and will think I am just a stupid child. Thank you nice to know I'm not the only one feeling like this x

    Hi Cera,

    I do agree with Deidre that you need to talk to somebody. If you can't open up about your problems to someone at school/college or somebody in your family, you need to go to your doctor. I have two sons who are dyslexic and one of them has Asbergers Syndrome as well and both needed a lot of support but worked through their difficulties and also they learned to except who they are. We all have difficulties some time in our lives but it is important how we deal with them. Bottling it up is of no use. Tell your doctor that you need to see a councillor and need find out what your difficulties are. Good luck.

      Thank you for your reply. I know dyslexia is common and I should feel lucky and enjoy my life but it's always effecting everyday things. People don't understand and just think of it as an excuse and maybe it is. I hope both of your sons are enjoying their life. I think I might have been bottling things up its just hard people are so judgmental. But thank you for taking your time to reply means a lot.

    I always feel that people who don't except us  as we are they are the ones with the problems because it means they are very judgemental and don't see that we are all trying our best. As I said before you must tlk to somebody about it and it will all seem better. just be careful who you chose to talk to !!
