is something wrong with me or is this normal?

i don't know what the hell happened today, unusual as hell.. and i'm woried... could be hormonal changes or just something strange... but today, I was in the mall doin my shopping etc. and then suddenly my mind was playing up.. something weird... a whole lot of bad life experiences just suddenly started coming very clear to memory.. like of when my cousin got killed by car (when I was 4, he was 12) and a whole lot of other things.. I just went into the rest room and started crying. And then almost felt suicidal.

this has never happened to me before. The scary thing is it seemed like some form of neural problem where suddenly my mind just remembered things which i haven't thought about for years. All at once.

Has anyone had a bizarre experience like this before?
I'm not taking any drugs by the way.. no narcotics, no anabolic drugs, nothing of that sort...

i may need to see my doctor. I don't wana see a psychologist because from what i hear, most are full of sh*t
 
In my experience this is not normal, although not necessarily uncommon.


Your doctor would be a good place to start - if he recommends a psych then do yourself a favour and make that appointment.

And a big kudos for deciding to disclose this 'event' - males in particular tend to sweep this sort of thing under the carpet.

Good luck mate - don't leave your mental health to chance
 
So in one isolated event, you had an intense emotional episode about traumatic experiences you went through as a child ?:think:

If you lived a great life, including a childhood with a silver spoon up your ass and not a single bad moment till now, I'd worry that something is wrong, but if you had a normal life, I wouldn't worry about some bad emotional episodes coming back to you.

Unless you're drugged on IV Cocaine until you die, you will feel like you're in a pool of sh*t, submerged to the neck and people pissing on your head sometimes, that's called life. Life is great.

From a more "medical" standpoint if you wish, if it's an isolated event, it's most likely nothing, when it occurs repeatedly, that's when you have to clear your mind and find out what's going in or pay someone who knows nothing about you to do it for you.

thanks man. yeah I didn't tell my friends nor family about this, don't want the drama. Just needed to tell someone and I thought this would be a good place. Being a place for medical and health related issues.

lets just make one thing quite clear: no-one is qualified on AM to give out Professional Advice.

Maybe take a leaf out of both mine and Omens' advice - some sort of middle ground.

I'm sure you'll work out okay mate.

that's right, it wasn't a visual flashback where i blacked out and hallucinated ... it was just a sudden crystal clear revisitation of my bad memories as if they happened at that moment....
I live a normal life and it is good compared to the majority of the world. Life has its ups and downs, and that's fine. I'm thinking this is some chemical or neural problem, but what.....
 
taking some kind of aas?

Aas has done it to me before. Not that extreme but mood swings similar to what you are saying.

nah i haven't ay. I've tried them in the past and they kind of did make me more angry. But that was a long time ago. Recently, I haven't taken anything of that sort.
 
I have been to a psychologist maybe....5 years ago for severe severe depression. He wasn't full of it. He didnt do retarded blot spots, or ask me when it all began. He was an ex military psychologist. He helped me build parameters, protect my own mind, and take control of it.

But mos likely I would say give it some time if this only happened once. Also the use of a steroid such as your other post was about, if the pct didnt go right could leave you hormonally screwed up. Which can cause what your felt.
 
I've had some weird experiences myself. I can't say that it's "normal" or "healthy", but it's to be expected when you've been through a great deal. Once in a while, I'll get a nightmare that'll trip me up the next day. After a good nightmare, I can usually recall experiences and traumatic events with crystal clarity- oftentimes, I just wake up feeling weird, on edge, or feel like something isn't quite right. Sometimes, I don't recall the nightmare at all, but I know that I had one because of how I feel, what I think, etc. I sought some counseling after returning home from Iraq and I felt more like Tony Sopprano than anything else. I didn't "feel normal" for almost a year, which was when I basically adjusted, not to "normal life" but to the fact that I'll have to live with nightmares or "flash backs". I'm pretty comfortable w/ these things now. Memories, emotions, etc. usually come flooding back rarely, but when they do, I either recall a recent dream, or simply know I had one... Maybe this is what caused your experience.
