I think I might have a mental disorder because of the following things I do:

1.)Whenever I see my pet cats at home, I begin screeching really loud and running/jumping around the house because I just cannot get voer how cute they’re. I will then begin smashing my head into a soft pillow,causing me to get fatigued and stop. This happens nearly everyday.
2.)I stress out so much
3.)I don’t have too much self confidence
4.)I am an All A report card student and have been all my life and I cnostantly stress out about my grades andif they’re bad it usually is because I was working in a group and she ranodmly took up someone in the group's paper to give that grade to the whole group and I would get a bad grade because those people wouldn’t listen to me or others! i have cut myself three times with a butter knife an still have thoughts abou cutting myself with a butter knife
5.)I am very sensitive
6.)I don’t cope with things very well but I have to act like it in front of my friends and instructors
7.)Occasinoally I feel bad if I’ve not been using a prooduct I bought
8.)I speak to my cats and state stuff that’s jibberish such as “sheeem sheem nagasipi oh kura sheem sheem sheem'
9)I am obsessed with animals and love them so much
10.)I sometimes act childish

What do you think abotu this? Do I’ve a mental disorder? Are these things irregualr, abnormal, or odd? By the way I’ve had 3 seizzures(first was really bad and othr two were mild) throughout my life if that helps.

ANY ANSWERS ABOUT ANYTHING ARE APPRECIATED!


Answer:
Some of these points you have listed indicate that you have some psychological issues, which MIGHT mean that you’re suffering from a mental illness or disorder. To me you sound a little manic; the first point could indicate that you are manic and so could your typing because many letters are blended up in your words.
Point 2 seems enjoy it could be rather normal. A lot of people have a lot of stress to deal with and stress out quite a bit. However, if it gets extreme, it may be an indicator of mental issues.
Point 3 is also a pretty common thing in adolescents (and I am assuming you’re one because you mentioned school grades). But again, if it's extremely low self-confidence, something might be wrong.
Point 4 .. if you cut yourself and you want to do it more that definitely is an indicator of psychological problems. I think that you should definitely go talk to your school counselor and seek a therapist so you can get help.
Point 5 .. many people are very sensitive and there’s nothing wrong with them. Then again, oversensitivity might indicate problems.
Point 6 .. some things are really hard to cope with and I think that you should not hide the fact that you might be having trouble coping. Talk to someone about it. It's bad to bottle things up.
Point 7 .. It's normal to feel bad if you buy things and don't use them. You shouldn't buy things that then go to waste.
Point 8 .. I don't speak gibberish so I don't know if you meant that in a literal sense that that is actually gibberish, but depending on what it means it could be completely normal.
Part 9 .. There is nothing wrong with being obsessed with animals and loving them so much (as long as there is no bestiality involved). I completely love animals too.
Point 10 .. A lot of people act childish sometimes. It's fun to just act a bit weird sometimes.

Overall, I do think that you should consult a therapist though because of some of the points. Especially Points 1 and 4. In both those points you mention self-harm: banging your head into a pillow (potential self-harm) and slicing yourself. I really think that you MIGHT have something going on with mania issues from what it sounds like. But I am not sure. Good luck with everything!!


Answer:
Butterup, I think you need to go to see a mental health provider but it may be due to the seizures.
