For the past few years I have taken Wellbutrin and as a result (not everyone experiences this, thankfully) had very circular thought patterns where I would get stuck on something and not be able to stop thinking of only one point. This, in tandem with trying to *fix everything at once* (issues being childhood abuse - physical, emotional, verbal, sexual = trust issues galore) ended up as a disaster. I became increasingly paranoid socially and have ended up being on a crusade to fix everything and basically nothing else. I have alienated friends and been the issue generator, essentially. I have practically killed off one of the closest relationships of my life due to me being an @$$hole consumed with issues and unable to think of others and treat them how they deserve to be treated. I think that my relationship and many friendships are beyond repair. How can I repair what little bits are left as I am emerging out of this cloud? Is it possible? I haven't beaten anyone or clubbed a baby se

First, give yourself credit for trying to improve your situation. Some folks may assert that you need to "put the past behind you," but when it comes to social paranoia, to which these issues are apparently linked, well, easier said than done, right? No true friendship can be "beyond repair," or else how could it have ever been a friendship in the first place. Communicate your ideas with those friends you do have; surely, they might be able to relate in one way or another- me, I am just a stranger who knows nothing. Respect your friends well, for they enjoy being distracted from their issues, too.
Work on the current moment.
And congratulations for not beating people- you're a step ahead of most of your ancestors!

Are you getting any type of councelling? Drugs are essential to get your brain chemistry back into balance, but after a lifetime of warped upbringing and isolation, you need a mentor to help your thinking get back on track. Good luck in finding the help you need.

My advice : stop thinking that you are the center of the universe and that you are the only person on earth to have been abused... You love yourself too much, that's the problem and sure no drugs can fix that.
