Alright, This Is My First Post, I Just Signed Up Cause I Really Feel Like Crying Right Now, Heres Why....

It Was My 13th Birthday Today, My Family Were Real Nice To Me, They Got Me An IPhone And Everything, But Just A Few Hours Ago I Randomly Started Having A Kind Of Vision Where I Picture My Perfect Mother Screaming And Being Hurt... I'm Tearing Up Just Writing This..... She was just in the other room All Innocent and i was having a vision like that on my 13th Birthday.... Am I Crazy Or Do I Just Have A Sick Mind?. For The Last Two Years I Have Been Scared Crazy Of Death And Often Have Visions That Make Me Depressed, Why On My Birthday Though?. I Am just 13 and only ever think about Death... How Sick. I Have Recenly Turned To Religion. I Find Hope In Heaven And Angels... The Only Thing That Keeps Me Going Is Reading About People Who Have Encountered Heaven Or Angels In The Forms Of Visions. I Just Wish That Instead Of Having Horrible Visions.. I Could Atleast Have A Vision Of A Paradise (Heaven) Or An Angelic Being. I Just Wish All Of These False Prophets, Would Just Shut up And Stop Coming Up With Some Kind Of Doomsday Theory. They Never Happen But They Still Scare Me. Why Can't We Just Live In Peace?. Finnally If I am say in the dark I Constantly Feel Like Some Kind Of Being Is In The Room With Me (Angel Or Demon), And When I Look Round a corner into a dark space i sub-consiacley (sorry for my bad spelling i'm not really smart ) see horrible faces. Please Comfort me somebody I Dont want to live like this and please give me some sort of advise? Thank You

Hi, Woody! So glad you found us and posted, since you are having a rough time. Teen-age years can be the grandest and also some of the most painful. You have a lot of hormonal changes going on; you're an adult in many respects, but a new one--you have a lot of fun-loving kid left in you too! Birthdays are always a bit stressful, even if you get the best presents and have a fun-charged party with great friends. Christmas is like that too--extra emotions; even if good, it's stress, not the run-of-the-mill time of your life, the average days. So be a little kind to yourself.

What can you do? Maybe try to see a counselor. There might be one at your school, if you're not out for the summer. Or try going to your doc, and telling him/her what you are feeling, like you did us. Ask if you can get help from a therapist to explore your feelings with you and help you understand them. It's great that you are reaching out now, as problems only get worse if you don't try to deal with them.

Another option for counseling might be a pastor or minister or rabbi. They are trained in counseling usually, and will see their parishoners at no charge as a part of their ministry. You'll feel better with an ally. And remember, counselors need to respect your confidence, so you can tell them everything that is bothering you and they will help you. They help you by giving you a perspective to deal with what's bothering you and tips for how to handle things. Good luck to you! Write back and let us know how things are going.

Thanks For The Reply, I Just Needed Someone To Talk To, I Think Like You Said, It Was Just Those Extra Emotions That Showed Me How Valuable Things Are, I Feel Better Today And Havn't Even Thought About Those Horrible Things That Have Been Going Through My Mind. I Have Only Been Scared Of Death Since I Heard About The 2012 Judgement Day, NASA Proved It Wrong But There Will Always Be That Feeling That It Might Happen. I Will Be Fine Again In 2013 Hopefully, Thanks For Your Reply, You've Helped Loads .
