I'm a student and have withdrawn from school ( I'm suppose to take my A'levels this year) just a few months ago because, because I felt just so cold in my head and increased number of times I imagine someone talking to me in my head. Its the real sensation of coldness at the top of my head. Accompanying it is a bright conciousness of the movements around me.

I need and I want understand how I'd be able to understand or rather process the information I read. I have tried to read the book : 'Whats Wrong with you' but the information never really stays. After I read something, the content of the previous sentence just don't seem to stay. Just this week I decided that I have to start studying so as the complete my A's next June. I found myself in a situation I've never really felt or found myself in though this situation seem to have occured before--I can't do the really simple question and was distracted,irritated and anxious.

Now, my head feels stable and warm. I no longer talk to people in my head, although for some rare occassions when I remember those people, I'd still talk to them. These people are those I believe I wanted care and concern, love perhaps. Or rather, I felt I can be happier. For the few months after withdrawing form school, I was always anxious and talking to people in my head.

Could my incapability to read now be linked to my belief of a 'trauma'? I used learn by pure 'programming' the information into myself since 10years old as far as I can remember. When I can't anymore, I'd just automatically tried to talk to myself, persuade myself , cuddle myself into studying again. When I was around 18, it was evident that the boat just can't be kept stable anymore. I played to myself hard rock music like Nostradamus ( the pure instrumental one) over and over again.

In addition, I did not want myself to feel , and I did not( I think this caused my sensation of coldness).

I'm afraid I'd get cold again, and really hope that that I can get strong again ( It was just 4 yrs ago that I topped my whole cohort). I want to be able to understand what I read again. Just daringly write the questions you have for me if you can help me. :)

btw, at this point of time, I have a floating sensation in my head which seems to happen when I recall things of the past. I also feel emotionally detached.

It sounds like you are suffering from some dissociation at the quite strong end of the spectrum. This could easily be caused by trauma. Can you tell me something of your difficulties as a child perhaps and where you are geographically so I can give you an idea of treatment?

My mind slowly recovered (amazing) and soon was able to read and feel.

I realise I need someone to talk to. Journal writing never helps as it simply reminds me that I'm simply going in circles. My closer friends no longer wishes to stay in contact with me after I've told them the truth of my mental instability. I would never wish to tell my parents again about the affairs of mind- they freaked out before. I realise it would not be wise to communicate on this issue. It is just a month since my parents were relief enough to thaw their emotions on me as I observe. They are soon not going to be able to support me financially and I need to get things done. I can't make plans with them, its stupidity- one spends time in busy idleness and frustration with life and the other just can't support himself- seeking to live life like a youth.

I've spent the last 10months trying to untangle that chaos in my mind. However, as soon as I started picking up my A'level materials ,I see myself receding back into shrunken conciousness. What can I do? Why does this happen? This never happened when I started reading books on philosophy and psychology.
