What's wrong with me?

Question

For the past few months, I have avoided going anywhere with my friends. I just...don't feel like going. Before, I wasn't so thrilled about going out with them, but now I dread it. It's not them...I don't know what I'd do without them, it's just me.

Last week, I was taking a test at school and couldn't even concentrate because I was thinking I had left my flat iron on and that my house was gonna burn down and blah blah blah and it just ruined my day, so I don't straighten my hair anymore. I've also noticed that I have this tendency to walk on the right side of someone and to sit by the window on the right side of the car and I feel uncomfortable if I don't.

I never get hungry anymore. Honestly, sometimes I forget to eat. I don't eat anything until I get home from school around 2:30 and it's fine with me.

I keep getting boils under my arms and on my arms and they just keep coming back and I don't know what to do...the pain..

Today I hit someone because this person pushed me over the edge. I usually don't react violently. In fact, when someone gives me sh*t I usually don't react at all because I'm so used to my parents giving me crap so I usually take it. But I can't believe I hit this person. I usually keep it all inside but today I let my anger show and that's just not me.

Oh and I'm really self-consious. Like there's this girl at school and I just wish I was like her..or that we could switch bodies. And it just hurts soo much to be afraid to look into the mirror and to know I'll never be pretty.

Answer 1

i don't know about the boils, ask a doctor about that one, but the part about sitting in certain places, it sounds like ocd, which stands for obsession compulsive disorder. it's when you tell yourself that you have to do something or else you think that something bad will happen, or sometimes, like you said, it just doesn't feel right. just stop yourself from doing trust me i no it's hard i have it. it used to be much worse but now its getting better. just tell yourself it is stupid and you don't have to do it. As for not wanting to hang out with friends, maybe depression. depression can also cause you to lose your appetite. stress also makes you lose your appetite, so like when you said you were worried about your house burning down, it probably caused a lot of stress. to treat the depression without taking medication, just go outside, and get excercise. oh, and this mite sound really dumb but smile, even if its fake, the muscles that you are using will send out that one kind of hormone or something like that, basically it will make you feel happier. try talking to you're friends about this, it could really help. it sounds like you could use some fun! and talk to your mom, or dad. keep your hopes up!

Answer 2

You sound very stressed and depressed. Talk to your mom or dad about how you're feeling. They know you better than we do, so they'll probably help you more. Or you could try talking to a therapist or writing in a journal. In a journal you can let out all of your feelings and not worry about being judged. For the flat iron and not eating thing, just come up with a routine. Wake up, have breakfast, get dressed, straighten hair, turn flat iron off, go to school. Something like that and do it every morning. Eventually you'll get used to it.
One day ask your friends to come over or to go out to a movie or something, all of you together. Tell them about how your day was and everything and just have normal conversations with them. Eventually you'll feel comfortable. Invite them over more often and you'll start to feel comfortable around them again. Ask your doctor about the boils under your arms.

Good Luck! I hope I could help!

Answer 3

I think that you may be depressed or is suffering from a little OCD. You can try to cheer yourself up by focusing on yourself this weekend. Rent some movies and give yourself a facial and do your nails. For the OCD, you can stop it by getting professional help or you can try a home remedy. The next time you use the flat iron, turn it off and leave and don't think about it or check it. Just do that for a while and eventually, you won't do it anymore.

Answer 4

it's probably from stress. actually, it sounds a lot like you're making yourself sick. a couple years ago, i had this really bad form of bdd (body dismorphic disorder, it's where you're totally obsessed with your body image) and everything i did made me so stressed about my body that i actually got really sick and my skin started getting flaky all over, like exzema! go to a doctor to check out the skin problem and ask them for a recemendation for a good therapist if you need one. trust me, it can make all the difference just making the first step by getting help.

Answer 5

I think you're very stressed. You may have some kind of mind problem like depression or something.
