Dementia symptoms in teenager. 24/7 mind blank. URGENT!

Most importantly, get counseling. Talk to someone. Anyone. Preferably a professional, but you need to know that you are not alone. If you try medications, use it properly, and use the lowest dose possible. Adderall works for me. I only take 20 mg XR once in the morning and will never increase my dose. I tried many other meds that worked for a few weeks and then had to add this and that, just making me worse over the long run. I learned "Less is More" :D



I hope you find your answer. I wish you well. Keep asking questions if you need to.

I think i suffer from depersonalization too. :(. I can not sleep at night. Wide awake with a blank mind. :(. The worst thing is that i don't have a thought in my mind. I don't get excited about things and don't look forward to things that I used to. I am 24 years old, and just thought it was because i am young that i am not sleepy at 12am/1am/2am and so on. But i don't have a thought in my head. I graduated college in 2009. I have no friends even though that will not help because i just talk to a few people and just doesn't sink in. I used to get angry at little things and now i just give a rats ass about anything.

Even though i am 24 i depend on my parents. When i tell my mom about the blank mind she just goes sarcastic and says "I'll give you something to think about." like that will help. :(. I just got back from the gym. Did 30 minutes there and thought perhaps if i do excercise i wil get tired.....WROOONG. I am still wide awake. I feel like i can excercise all day and not get tired. :(.

It sucks when your parents don't think anything is wrong with you and is sarcastic about things that upset you. I can't sleep cuz i have a blank mind. i talked to my psycologist but he just shrugged it off. I don't feel motivated to do anything. i have no frineds and certainly no bf. i used to love to go to disney world with my mom but now i'm not interested in anything. nothing. i don't know what to do. my paretns are trying to help me start a business but i can't wrap anything in my mind. they want me to help but i just can't concentrate on things and just have a blank mind. I feel like i am going crazy. My parents are going on vacation in June so i might just go to the doctor behind their back and get blood work done and talk to the dr. i hate going behind their back. even if the dr does find anything my parents think he's a quack.

hi ive been experiencing the blank mind i think for some years now, it has varied through the years.  It might sound odd but i was more self aware than i am now internally, it mgiht have been like i was able to think about my thinking if that makes sense.  I was at home and i was thinking over something in my head and i cant remember what happened exactly but i think due to thinking over a  certain thought i started to lose my balance for a moment and my mind wnet blank.  I wasnt aware of what was going on in my head as much.  It  was like my level of conciousness had gone down a level or more.  Some years after i excessive masterbated due to having ocd and i think maybe using it as a way cope with my stress and maybe other things.  The last year i have being going through different phases of my mind and i would forget things and I felt like i couldnt take note of what was around me as well.  I twas maybe like as if i was less there.  I dont take drugs or drink alcohol but it has made me wonder as well if it was due to excessive masterbation.  There is stuff about taoism health and maybe chinese health that says about how ejaculation can affect the mind, affect the memory and others.  It seems funny that they would say this as it seems to match with what im going through and it seems to be that im experiencing this around the time i have masterbated.  If anyone can help me on this and help find ways to awaken my mind its apreciatreciated.

Please, I'm interested in more info on this.

Hey Skippy, I'm going through the exact same symptoms you mentioned, like EXACT same symptoms, and I was wondering if things ever got better for you? The chronic empty/blank feeling in my head started after i had a bad trip with some edibles 3 months ago, and it's been driving me mental ever since. I feel like I'm in a constant meditative state that feels permanent yet I can still operate and do everyday normal things. I'm an 18 year old guy and I doubt I have dementia or depersonalization or psychosis, yet I can't find any other diagnosis that fits what I'm experiencing. Both my parents are doctors and they have no clue to what it may be (Like you, I didn't mention the 420 bit for obvious reasons). Since it started I haven't smoked anything or drank any alcohol but nothing seemed to help. IT'S SLOWLY GETTING WORSE if anything. If you can please give me some closure or any news on your condition that would be a huge help.

Btw, I heard that whatever I might be going through might be induced, or amplified, by anxiety. Other than that I am clueless on what makes it worse or ho to get rid of it.

hi permanentfubar. I am also experiencing the same thing as u. mine started since I was 12 in mid 2011. I had this fever. from that moment on, my mind was less able to focus, i felt like i couldnt comprehend things well and that changed my personality entirely. i lost my interests, my memory deteriorated, in school I often find myself lost because my mind couldnt comprehend anything. i dont remember doing anything out of the ordinary before the fever took place, I have most of my education supported by my aunt and I was pretty much aceing. the fever thing screwed up everything. I am sure that the damage is permanent, but it got worse. mid 2013 and mid 2014 the same thing happened and nothing strange cause them! they progressed to become so bad that my mind is blank 90% of my waking life. I felt like I lost everything important to me. I lost my sense of urgency and my emotions are gone. I became extemely apathatic. Pls help. although I believe there is no way I will ever be normal and independent again.

You and me both. Literally word for word. I'm almost 20 and have experienced for a total of at least two years. It went away during pregnancy and has come back. I've tried meds and checked into depersonalization and derealization which I definitely also have. But when people say I'm depressed I'm like no I can still act completely normal. My mind is just blank. I can't imagine anything at all. Or connect with anything I hear or read.

This is NOT Depression. This is NOT bipolar disorder. This is NOT gluten and wheat related. Jeesh people. This is a REAL problem and everyone keeps throwing out trendy causes rather than realizing there is an issue here. Look on these boards alone. There are DOZENS of people of varying ages who are dealing with this. It's not just something that kids and teens are suffering with. I'm 46 years old and 5 years ago I was struck down with this exact thing. I was a highly functioning, socially present, intelligent and focused man and within 2 months I was battling for my brain, my sanity, my memory and my life. It started with my body odor changing severely. That was the first change I noticed then the downward spiral happened. The insomnia. I could only sleep about 2-3 hours a night. Then tremors. Food intolerances. Whirring/Buzzing in the right side of my head. My Hair falling out. Then I began to stutter and lose cognitive function. I could no longer remember the most basic things from my life. I couldn't carry on conversations any longer and not only 4 months prior I was the most social person you'd have ever met! Suddenly I became a shut in because people thought I had lost my mind. I lost my sense of taste, sense of smell, my hearing became bizarre like everything was through a tunnel. My vision got weird like I wasn't inside my head but seeing through my eyes from behind it. This is NOT a psychiatric issue. This is a VERY physical issue and people are suffering HARD with it because nobody seems to know where to look for it's origin. But the fact that I'm here typing this letter shows I made it back. I figured it out and saved myself. And I'd like to help. I'll keep checking back here for responses. Let's talk if you're still out there people. You can reclaim your brain.
