Anyone I can talk to?

Question

I'm feeling crazy right now. I need to figure out what's wrong with me. I feel depressed. I feel like I have some mental condition, but maybe I don't and Im telling myself that to give myself an excuse for how crappy I am.

I was talking with my mom and she asked me why I don't hang out with anyone. She suggested that I don't feel like I fit in. Which is totally right, but it shouldn't be. I look normal. But I don't feel normal and sometimes when I look into the mirror it's as if that person isn't really me, or im not good enough to be that person. I wonder why anyone really likes me because I see nothing in me.

Maybe I really am depressed. Maybe I just want attention. I really don't know.

No religious stuff please. I'm an atheist

Answer 1

This is kind of scary. This was EXACTLY how I felt like 2 years ago. I felt so weird, like an outcast, but I looked normal. Like, I had "school friends" but I didn't have "outside of school friends", what normal people to consider "their crowd".

I felt really alone. And ashamed, like I was going insane. I started cutting myself.

It felt better, temporarily, but all i was left with was wounds. Literally, and figuratevly. Not only did I have to recover from my physical wounds, I had to recover from my emotional wounds as well.

I found out that a lot of what I was doing/ and or not doing, had effect on my moods..and that's why I acted the way I did, and preformed such behaviors that I did.

I went on Citalaprome, for a short while, and now I'm off of it. I almost feel like my old self again.

And you can feel like your old self (if you've had a different attitude prior). You need to get a regular therapist, and she him/her weekly.

Get your life back on track.

I know you can do it!!!!

First off, sugar-buzz is just talking about herself, not any substantial advice worth giving to you in you confusing state of mind.
We have all had moments that we feel confused and worthless. Some people like to go to a shrink and some don't. If you just wanted to vent what you feel, write it down. Whether you keep it or throw it away you've stated how you feel so it's not inside of you digging a whole. There are also non shrinks, like psychologists that give you ideas proven to work to get through all the crap in life, without medication. Maybe you do need an anti-depressant to stabilize the brain waves to make you feel happier with yourself. You could try to find some peace with God or what ever you believe in. There is always someone or something that can give you a pat on the back when needed, you just have to find it. Don't give up on yourself, you can get over it and move on, lots of people are and have.

Answer 4

You can talk to me for sure...I don't know how old you are, but is this condition recent or have you always and ever felt like this? You can email me if you wish to do so, or IM me sometime. largerladybug is my yahoo messenger nick. Just jog my memory if you do.

If you feel depressed, then you are depressed. If this is something recent...Maybe you just need to talk to someone who is totally objective. Good luck...

Answer 5

to be honest you know the answer to this question and you cant be somebody while sitting at the computer...go for a walk and approach the girl of your dreams...i walk everyday and ppl whistle and hit on me...extreemly rare for a guy to approach and wanna be friends etc...though i dream of it sometimes...if you need friends do the obvious and get involved with outdoor activities and get a job where ppl your age work...thats a guaranteed way to make friends...plz smile and realize what you think right now is just brainwash you disposed into your mind because you realize what you desperately want in life, and at this moment dont have that...trust me i get like that sometimes too...and i lost almost all of my friends because they used me and turned into druggies and thats not me...i know what i want and deserve in life and no matter how many times you fall...get up and try until youve made it...but plz always remember to laugh and smile. call your weird and funny cousin for a good laugh if you must. because without it you will never be encouraged to do anything. xoxo

You should go to the doctors and see whats wrong. In my opinion you do sound a liitle depressed. The most important thing you need to do is not care about what other people think of you. Your opinion is the only opinion that matters.

Answer 7

I didnt fit in or hang out with anyone. I've always been pretty content to be alone. I just dont really like the company of people that much. But i still manage to have a career in federal drug enforcement and compete in powerlifting. So don't sweat feeling out of place. I always have, but i do what I like anyway, regardless of what other people say.

You need God in your life for sure. When you begin to focus on Him, you'll learn why you're here and that He has a great plan for everyone's life EVEN YOU! When you see Him begin to work in your life it's exciting and wonderful because you can see that He loves you. And how can you not love yourself if He loves you? You'll begin to see how important you are to Him and to the people around you. I don't think you know that yet. Take the step toward Him. The bible says, "Draw near to God and He'll draw near to you." And He will. God bless you!

Answer 10

Have you tried looking for a local Bible Church? Search for some Christians who would be willing to counsel you or just be your friends. Maybe God just wants to show you that He is the only one who can give you true happpiness. I, personally, depend on Him for all of my needs. Pray and talk to Him.
