Q: Not Sure Where to Place Myself

Hi everyone who reads this stuff..
I know pretty much for a fact that im depressed, im always hiding in my room. I enjoy bieng alone and writing music and words. I like to go out with friends and my girl but mostly just alone.
What I wonder is, when I think everybody is against me sometimes...Like my friends dont like me, or people in general dont like me because im different. What is that? Im always reading into peoples expressions and subtle things like sarcasm. These are fairly constant.. I think that when people give me a compliment that they mean the opposite. I dont trust people and I just think everyones against me..I dont think people tell me the truth.
Im usualy always honest because I just dont need to bother lying, and I always think that everybody thinks im lying, because im so honest and they dont believe somebody would be honest like that. .When im with my girlfriend I feel so relaxed like im just fine. I trust her to tell me the truth and be honest. I almost cant be around dishonest people because I will have a break down. I think some friends talk behind my back to everyone trying to get everyone to hate me. Like people collect against me. And team up.
I woprry about food ..A two day old sandwich ,i have to ask if its okay like 5 times before ill eat it because im just scared of getting sick. Two days is usualy the magic number.
Thank you for reading all of that if you did. Are these symptoms of anything? Like anxiety or something? Im not sure but I might have add or somehting too. My mom never took me to any doctors because she didnt want to look like a bad mother I guess. But iv never been diagnosed with anything like an illness. Maybe someone would suggest me to go see somebody, but maybe im just stressing? Thanks again

Obviously I am not a doctor so I can't diagnose you, but I feel the same kind of things, I only feel really comfortable around my fiance, my family (only parents and brother) or when I am on my own. I feel constantly paranoid around work colleagues and there sarcasm does get to me, I constantly question things in my head and I worry about everything, its like every week I have a different problem or illness to worry about, I never seem to have a free mind!
I definitely suffer from anxiety, have you ever had the physical symptoms of anxiety like panic attacks or anything?

Yes for me its the same, immediate family is usualy fine, people im used to. Aunts and uncles..I feel like they dont like me. Just last christmas I remember distinctly feeling like I wasnt part of my family. Like they had disowned me because I dont see them enough or somehting...I fealt like crap.
As for panic attacks I dont know. I think I have had a few slight to medium, feelings like my hearts beating hard and fast, soi can hear it. But not very regularly. Sometimes my heart palputates. (wierd beat) not sure how to spell it.
I saw a comercial on tv about bieng schizofrenic (cant spell) and among all of the symptoms was paranoia and the feeling of everyone bieng against you. So now im worried about that because I feel that alot. Except the definition of somebody with a mental illness is, they dont know they have it. So what the hell? So confused and I appologize for any blabbering!

The thing with me is I don't really care if my aunts and uncles like me! I only see them once a year! I am happy in my own little world with my fiance, if I didn't have to go to work, I wouldn't, I would be quite happy on my own all day long!
I don't feel confident in my ability to work as I do everything wrong.
As for the schizophenia thing, they do always say you wouldn't realise if you did actually have it. Apparantly if you think you are going mad, then you aren't!

So a true mentaly ill person is one that doesnt seek help on their own because of not-knowingness. And one that does is probably okay. Wierd idea. This actualy makes me feel a tiny bit better.

Mental Illness
Many people who are mentally ill know it.
Write down the problems that you are having and what you are feeling and talk to a doctor. It can be stress or a learned behavior and insecurities. I have friends who are schizophenic and they know that they are. They are really unstable so I cant compare the symptoms.
Good luck
