This is gonna be strange

This is gonna be strange. But as a teenager I'm trying to figure life out but also heal. And I have friends, two close ones who I can relate too, but my mom has been making me question it. I don't remember how I met these people, they just showed up in my life one day. I know everything they like and can name their birthdays but I don't have a single picture of them. I don't have any evidence of them in my phone and they're my world and now I'm scared that they don't even exist! I know it's fucking stupid to even worry about that shit but I've been so close to these two and now to think that they don't even exist it's just I don't know. They seemed so real. They both had a family. I've always been a creative child Especially when I was trapped in the dark alone and I'd always have friends and I grew out of that after my parents divorced but since everything has reappeared it's like the imaginary friends are back. At least I think. Like I said this is probably absolutely stupid. There are more important things to worry about but this is important to me. 


Anyways, thanks,

This sounds like an M. Night Shyamalan film, or maybe a David Fincher one. If you're serious, then you need to let your mother take you to a psychologist or psychiatrist. It could be nothing major, but you definitely need to go. Otherwise you may end up being lost, not knowing what's real.

i agree. talking with a professional (you can also include a therapist, LMSW or LCSW). i think it is important to ask lots of questions. it is important to be grounded and to understand where this is coming from. i think you should also keep in touch with people on this site. the support is so helpful - not to be taken as medical advise but knowing that there are similar people out there who care

Does that make DS a Stupid Club? These are the very sort of issues we are gathered here to sort. There are an awful lot of Life questions that you don't find on IQ tests. Those questions seem to show up in my confusing life allot more often than the questions that are on IQ tests.

However you choose to rate the intelligence of ^it^, sort freely, sort often. Yea, it might be stupid, but don't be too quick to AssUme the stupidity is yours. Give ^it^ time and due process.

Continued support while you sort.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
