Have you ever felt dead ? Like you don't have your place here and wonder why you're alive ?

Question

I'm sure I'm not the only 1. Sometimes, not to say most of the time, I'm sitting here looking at the walls, not feeling anything but that sadness and weird feeling like I don't belong here. Sometimes I feel like crying but no tears will come, rarely, sometimes I think it's like I'm dead, my body isn't mine, only my thoughts are and it's not positive thoughts. Sometimes it's like I'm not me but someone else, I can watch myself through the day like I'm not inside my body. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing things I have already done months or years ago!
Sometimes I find it hard to breathe and wonder what's real and what's not. Maybe the only thing that's real is that deep sadness and anger I've been keep inside for years, which never does any good I know and can admit it, I just have to look at what he brought me now! But yet I can confide in nobody. I just stay alone as much as I can and interact with no one, I'm shy and want to bother nobody! Why am I alive? Have you ever felt that way ?

Answer 1

This is quite common in young people, but the most important thing to remember is to deal with these thoughts. Sometimes, it's not so important as to why they exist, but how to change things for the present and future. Always be open and honest with yourself, as you have the ability to know yourself better than anybody else! It may take some time to find yourself and when you do, you can change your outlook on life because you will be looking to yourself for guidance. Always remember..."You do exist!" and you control your destiny! Never let others influence your sense of well-being!

Answer 2

I haven't been through exactly what you're going through, but I was on the verge of suicide in high school, so I certainly know what the depths of despair are like. If this is something that you've been dealing with for some time, where you feel like you're detached from reality, you may benefit from certain types of antidepressants (certainly not all of them--Prozac is popular but has horrible side effects with some people). If a chemical imbalance is causing this sense of detachment, then medications of some kind may help. I know that drugs aren't the solution that some people want to hear, especially when it comes to drugs that affect moods or clarity of thinking, but it would seem that anything may be better than where you're at right now.

Do you have a close circle of family or friends? Do others know what you're going through? This isn't something you should go through alone. Check out the first link below for crisis-hotline numbers that you can use if you feel an immediate need to talk to someone. I hope what I've said helps. I'll be praying for you. Take care.

Answer 3

I have found that the more I am alone the odder my perspective on the real world is. Spending all your time alone leads you to live in your own mind and then your mind starts warring with the real world. Or that is what I have experienced. My solution has been to get out and about and talk to people. Interact even if its only with the late night waitress at Denny's. Human contact is needed by everyone. Just like an animal goes crazy when left alone all the time people are the same way. You need to talk to people. If you are shy start online on messenger. Talk to someone, they will get you to talk to someone else and pretty soon you will find yourself feeling better. That has been my experience. I know it is hard to begin but you have to make the effort and believe me you aren't bothering anyone. You are a singular and worthy human being and it will be their pleasure to talk to you. Good luck and start soon.

Answer 4

My dear, I spent most of my life with feelings very much like that, going back to my earliest childhood memories. I felt a lifelong sense of failure that these feeling kept me down. It never occurred to me that these feelings weren't normal, I thought this was just life and everybody else did a better job of handling life than I did.

Somehow, I came to find that I was, and probably always had been, suffering from Depression. It soon occurred to me that not everybody was just hanging in there waiting until the day they could finally just die.

Please consider the possibility that you might be experiencing something like this. I've listed some links that might be helpful. I wasted a lot years not knowing that I didn't have to feel the way I did.

Answer 5

You should immediately see a Doctor and get on anti-depressants. I felt the same as you in the past, and I am convinced that anti-depressants saved my life. It may take trying a few different ones before you find the one that works for you, but by all means see a medical professional as soon as possible.
