I think so much about everything, and find it hard to express my thoughts. I often feel like I have great knowledge like I am smarter then others, but not booksmart, I think that I understand humans better because I take the time to analyze, I call it critical thinking. I am often depressed not liking my life, or myself, I feel liek lifeis not fair. I often percieve it as if I am on the outside looking in & I got everything so figured out. I percieve myself as unique and that is great on somedays and terrible on others. I never really know what is true or real or the right thing to do, I always qustion my actions and intentions & often seek advice and input from the outside. I find it hard to make decisions & when I do I am unsure of the outcome. & Then there are days where i am confident about my actions! I don't want to be placed on medication, i don't think anything is wrong with me, i feel that the world is not open enough...can anybody relate to this? Am I crazy? Manic? Depressed?

hey dee..are you sure you are not related to me? i felt the same way when is was in high school and well into my 20's. i think you should seek out a good therapist (counselor) to find out what your best course of treatment should be. unfortunately for be i never sought out help when my symptoms were mild and fairly manageable. i tried to figure it all out myself, that ended not going very well, i eventually started to self-medicate, got suicidal, then had complete breakdown in 1993. recovery from that point was along hard road,but i am happy to say that i have been stable now since 1997 and have a wonderful and happy life.please do yourself a favor and get into therapy now before your life has a chance to spiral out of control. support groups are also very helpful. feel free to contact me if you'd like by clicking on my icon.

Wow. I have the same sort of feeling everyday. Did you have a tramatic experience happen in your life? you no life isn't fair and it would be hard for anyone to say it is. I tend to analyze things too much so that they stop making sense. I always feel I am just watching everyone as well as my life just go on without me, I usually have to feel that I have the answer to everything. I delivered a stillborn baby in june 2005 and day in day out I was trying to make sence of it, trying to figure it out and I think everyday I reached a different conclusion. in reality I have no idea what happened to my little girl but in some sort of way I believe I do. I am overcoming my depression without meds. I see a psychologist every week and at first he wanted me to go on meds but I didn't want to and now he even says I dont need them. I am not sure what it is in your case but you should definatley get it all checked out because it sounded like something I wrote before!? Good luck to you.

I can totally relate! That sounds like my life pretty much. I have OCD and a lot of anxiety, and a lot of that seems like my obsessive thoughts I get from OCD. The rest I don't think at all means you're crazy. We're just kind of different I guess. Sometimes it really sucks, but try to think about how cool it is that we can look a lot further into what life is all about!
Anyway, the point is you're not crazy. I feel exactly like you and I've led a pretty successful life. I'm still quite young but I've accomplished a lot. Don't worry about how you are, just be yourself as it's who you are meant to be!

You are not crazy, nor a you a maniac. We are all different in our own ways but we try and accommodate others no matter how different they may seem. Life is what we make it, if it hands you lemons, make delicious lemonade. You seem to be indecisive when it comes to taking actions, everything is based on rules and regulations: school, government, households, etc. These rules are guidelines for us to help us stay on the right path. If you obey rules, then you are okay. I would seek the assistance of a health care provider to help rediscover myself. Drugs won't help, they have worse side effects and you do not need that.

Don't take yourself so seriously because you'll wear yourself out.
Sometimes it's hard to make a decision if you are going to worry about the outcome. Life and people are imperfect including yourself. That's alright. Watch comedy in the evening on TV and let yourself laugh. There's nothing wrong with being silly once in a while.

You need to see a phycriatrist to know for sure. But some mental illness is passed down through generations you may want to question your parents.

If you are a true intellect, you will control your emotions and thoughts and express yourself clearly.
If you cannot, you require medical attention.
