I'm losing my mind.

It's them dang hormones.

Seriously tho, that you recognise there's an issue at hand really points to you being of sound mind. If you feel like yer walkin thru syrup with no direction, AND perceiving this, it could be your subconscious kicking you back into reality. Could be boredom. Could be sleep deprivation. COULD be ADD. You could be unwittingly putting too much on yer plate to acheive focus, and as a result, your mind drifts too frequent from thought to thought to worry, etc.

I would at least seek some counceling to sift thru to anything you may be repressing, like a child trauma or a recent shock / loss / longing for the unobtainable....

I'm no shrink mind you...

Not bout a girl, not much stress really. I've just noticed that I've been going through these brief periods where I don't feel like I'm actually here in, as you say, reality. I can't tell what's going on very well, and I can't really find a way to explain it really. But whatver it is, it's definetly makeing me more and more confused about my current state of mind.....
What your describing is a classic symptom of Anxiety among other symptoms. Some times it just hits you. A normal doctor can take care of this, and I would not be scared, but I would take it to a professional and this is not the place. I doubt your losing your mind, but I'll bet you could feel better.
 
STOP!!!!!

You are not doing yourself any favors by asking these questions here. If you are truly feeling "crazy" then go see a shrink. Or the school counselor. Or talk to your parents. Someone, ANYONE other than strangers on a bass talk forum. This is the WRONG place for mental advice.

If you don't think your "crazy" enough to see a dr, then here is my advice:

Man up and get over yourself!
 
A dog talks to come in, dogs talk to go out
Knowing where your at only means you'll never get there
Sure I think that we are responsible for the universe
But that don't mean we decide anything

That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lying down on the couch, what does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune
Now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also laid false teeth

This thread reminded me of Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalanches.
