Is she “Delusional…or what?” (Positive Teens, June 2006)

Uncertainty is her biggest challenge. “Delusional — isn’t that what they call people when they’re crazy? With every ounce of frustration that builds up within me, there is just as much feeling for the opposite emotion. Likewise, equal to the frustration, is an apathetic outlook on any aspect of a situation. With every predicament, every question and every thought, I am challenged within myself. With so many feelings, tensions run high. There are supposed to be two sides to every story, but what happens when there are more?

“If someone asks my opinion of something, dozens of answers ring out in my ears. It can mean never really knowing my own opinion because there’s too much chaos inside my head to sort it all out.”

Do you think that our writer is crazy or is her reactions normal for a teenager?

Do you have mental debates with yourself over minor things as well as important decisions? If yes, do you find it hard to make decisions too?

Our writer defines the word delusional “as a state of mind.” Is it?
