Lately I just want to isloate myself from everyone...I was very sociable and I am really outgoing. But I just have too many problems with every aspect of my life..like family, they are too controlling (im 19) and abusive and it's mentally hurting me. Im badly depressed too. Then there is my bf..it's a long distance relationhship and it's really stressful...and then my personal life...I have an eating disorder :( and Im always sick....I just want to get the hell away frm everyone, even those I love. I just want to be on my own. alone. Just hearing another person talk makes me want to snap. People's presence makes me so angry I start screaming. Im so scared that the normal socialble me is turning into a psycho :( I just want to be alone...is that bad? I feel like I dont even know myself...and I want to be alone and learn about myself and see who i really am and see what i really want. But there is no way I can be alone, i cant move out..my parents wount let me.but I want to runaway soon.

You have to be able to be objective with yourself, and be "another person" so you can help yourself. All the healing will have to come from inside of you. Go to your counselor at school/college, they have people there to help with these feelings. You do not need to suffer needlessly. Please, get the help that you need, they are there for you!

Perfectly ordinary. I'm 22 weeks and I have not had any being pregnant signs. The simplest factor I've gotten is a stomach. I fairly have not been extra emotional, if something I've been much less emotional. No morning health problem, no stretch marks but, and the whole thing is solely pleasant with the child. All the checks have come again ordinary. Be grateful you have not needed to move by way of one of the most matters different females must move by way of. I constantly notion their used to be whatever improper due to the fact I did not have any signs both, however now I'm very completely happy I did not.

You say you are very sociable and really outgoing...and I'm willing to bet you set some pretty high standards for yourself. You want to see some order in your life, and when that isn't there, you see many if not all other aspects of your life in a negative light. So, you turn inward.....hoping to escape the living nightmare that has become everyday life. By turning inward - anyone who tries to break this barrier causes the stress to surface all over again. Your parents controlling behavior may be a symptom of their deep concern for your well-being - and wanting to see you happy once again.
That you have identified areas of your life that hurt....that you have reached out to find the answers.....is a very important - and positive - step to take. Continue on this path until you find the answers that are right for you.
What you are going through happens to all of us....you are not alone. Life at times is very messy - one area you can work on is your reaction to the events around you. You can't change others - only yourself. Focus on finding a source of inner peace......get help for your eating disorder, if it has become that serious.....reassess your relationships and don't be afraid to make some adjustments or changes. Try to get good rest - take care of your body as well as your mind. Take things one day, or one step, at a time.
I wish you peace as you find ways to become stronger.

Dear Girl, believe me when I say I know how you feel. Remember that isolation or running away is not the answer, I wish it could be that simple!!! Where ever you go your problem will go with you.someone once said "No Man is an island" and hell how true that statement is!!! it's just a pity that it takes so long for us to understand it. Listen we are social creatures, some of us more some less, but there's no way we can define ourselves unless we learn to relate to others, is in that social exchange that we learn who we are.
So calm down, take one step at the time and try to enjoy your youth.
From someone that has been there....Lots of love

Don't run away - that only makes things worse. See if you can get into counseling. If you are already in counseling, switch counselors OR add group therapy (for depression, abuse or the eating disorder). If you want time to think, why not see about volunteering for a mission during the summer. If you go to church or have a large one nearby, talk to the pastor about missionary opportunities. You'll get away from home for a while, but your parents won't be all weirded out because you'll likely be supervised. Try going out west or to Mexico for a mission. Even if you only go for a couple of weeks, I think it will do you good. :)
Good luck! :)

It sounds to me like a lot of people are asking you to do things, and nobody is doing anything for you. I don't think it's bad to be alone; it's something we all need, and some need it more than others. We all reach a point where we need to find out who we are, what we want, and it doesn't sound as though anybody has allowed you to do that yet.
If you're 19, then you don't need your parents' permission to move anywhere; you're legally an adult, and can do what you want. I strongly urge counseling, so that you can start to learn who YOU are, and what is right for you.
Good luck!

Well normally speaking this type of feeling is bad.If you isolate your self form others you will not be able to find the true identity of your self.It is really bad that fell depressed if you see people.This is too much stress your are putting on your self.You have to deal with your own emotions and the world will be a better place.It all depends upon our own mind.You think think that your parents are controlling you too much.The fact is that many parents don't know how to coney their love to their children including your parents.(don"t take it wrongly that i am mocking at your parents).This is a formula in with the parents need to express their love( Love-Thinking-Acting).Many parents do it by this way.Try applying this formula when your parents tell you something.It will work.Trust me.

It is normal to want to spend some time alone. It is not normal to feel depressed a lot, have an eating disorder, to snap at people for what seems like no reason, or to want to completely isolate yourself.
You may need to seek counseling. Besides depression, you could be suffering from Anxiety disorder.

You are describing classic depression.You need to set an appt with your family Dr. right away and discuss it with them.There are some great medications out there to help the symptoms.And don't be afraid to talk about this.It's no different than a Diabetic needing insulin.Your brain needs some help stabilizing the chemicals that keep it running smooth.
