I Need Someone to Talk to
Posted: 03-20-07 13:26pm

Im 16 and well from the outside i would consider my life as great, i feel selfish because i have nothing that could be a reason for the state of mind im often in. I feel as if everyday i have to put on a show of happiness, that I cannot ever be myself otherwise people would find out that im an outsider. Ill be in a group of friends everyone will be laughing and well Ill be standing there wondering what Im supposed to do, sometimes cryin because I feel like I cant join in. Every morning i have troubling breathing because i feel as if I cant continue, my throat blocks and I stop breathing, it takes me a while to become calm again. Each day is a challenge and i ask myself when its going to end. I ask myself questions, existential question, i think all day about them, everything else seems unimportant, it seems they are the reason for my state of mind but i cant imagin life without them if someone even suggested for to stop thinking then i would rather die. Life would be tasteless. But my thinking has brought me to conclusions such as the nonexistence of god, the uselessness of life , the blackness of death(my belief is there is nothing absolutely nothing after), the evilness of humanity, the nonexistence of love... The more I think about us as human the more my digust grows, it is as if there was no hope for humanity that we were the worst living things on this earth and even trying to change would make no difference as we are trapped in our history , in the way we are. I just cant accept it, maybe my ideals are too high but ijust cant accept a world like ours but i already feel defeated as the real will never join my ideals. As my disgust of humanity grows so those my selfdisgust. I hate myself, the way I am , that I am so human, so evil .
The conclusions i come to might not be the right ones however they feel right and any other would feel as if I was lying to myself. Eventhough im sure others have felt the way I have in my surrounding it seems as if no one really cares about such things and well ive tried explaining to my friends how i felt but they call me pathetic. I even talked to my bestfriend about it, i was telling her about my hate for humanity sometimes, telling her about the shortstory of sartre erostratus how i could in someway relate to him the next thing she says is that I am a psychopath and that i want to shoot people, for a day she believed i think that i was evil and she said that she didnt want to be friends with me, she told all my friends of the thoughts i had and how I felt empathy to a murderer. I dont think she understands how much that has hurt me that evening when she called me a psychopath and that I was so strange I felt so alienated Ifelt like i couldnt be understood I nearly killed myself i feel so weak now. that one of my best friend can make me feel that way I feel like im going to fall the next time someone says such a thing, someone calls me strange or weird. I feel different from evryone but in a bad way and that way disgusts me aswell I cant really explain everything but Im in such a state of emotional distress I feel like I cant connect with anyone and that the more i disconnect from people the more im slipping away from life, Im scared to go to my room as my window looks so attractive sometimes, i feel like the easiest way would be to end it all, it would end my constant worrying, theses thoughts would stop this nonstop qustionning and never finding the answer, never being satisfied with an answer, my life seems so perfect but i am not happy, i have so many things but I cannot be happy i fell like i should die for that,
there are so many other things that are running through my mind all the time but the most reacurrent at the moment is of killing myself, i feel like i cant control myself sometimes, i feel pathetic by the way i feel but i cant control it
I dont know what to say maybe i should say help me but i feel as if i doomned anyway
i think it has already lightened the weight i was carrying just talking about it but i still feel so unstable as if depression was seeking me at every corner
I need advice i dont know what to do anymore

Hello There...

Hi. Im Keiana and Im no doctor, but it sounds like you have some type of social disorder and in turn causes you to have panic attacks and depression. Talk to your parents, or if you dont feel comfortable doing that, talk to a school counselor. I feel so bad that you are experiencing this. Its not your fault. Some people have chemical embalances that cause what you are explaning. Be strong and do something or it can take over your life. You want to experience the great things and not have bad memories of things you have no control over. Good luck.

hey hey hey, no need to sound to glum.. its not ur fault if u are having some problems... every one has problems in their lives, some ppl can get rid of them sooner some dont... that doesnt mean you have to get stressed about them..

if you really feel this way... i think you should be talking to some one who is specialized in this thing and can rally understand your problems and help you... others will only think you are not well and give you the remarks whcih you have already mentioned here...

you dont even need to go somewhere to do that.. there are many websites whcih offer guidance and help online to ppl who have any concerns. u can check them out and ask for help... in this age and time, lots of us are facing these problems so it is nothing to be embaressed about, you just need a right way to let go of these emotions and feel yourself.....

good luck to u Smile

Hi there.
First of all, welcome.. I hope you can get help and feel better.
There's nothing to feel ashamed of for having problems or disorders. Everyone has got them, you just have to be aware of it and learn how to deal with your own things, ok? Smile

That you described sounds like a need of social attention, like a social disorder that can have innumerous reasons and effects. Smile
Some of your thoughts may be right and have reasons, but you must see them as beliefs, something you'd fight for and stand for, not soemthing that can put you down, right?
Things are wrong, so we can change them. Sometimes our efforts seem meaningless and so little, but soon someone will join us or something and those efforts will grow and we'll see the results coming. Smile You are not evil! Not if you do something!
You are not pathetic! You think!!!! Smile

How Are You

So, it's been a while since bluesky started this discussion. How have you been doing so far? Are you feeling better and have you seek for any kind of help?
Let us know how you are doing now, ok?

Cheers.

yeah it's been quite a while since you posted this, but just read your post and was like woah thats me. hahah. hm not really a "hahah" time but like the first half of your post was dead on. lucky for me i have one friend who sort of understands what im going through, she suffers from some pretty bad depression but we both cover it up for everybody else in the world. lately though, i think she's been getting better, which is great for her, while i've just been feeling worse and worse. i feel so pathetic, and constantly wonder what in the world is wrong with me. i've thought about suicide alot but would feel too embarrassed for my family to have to deal with explaining to people that i killed myself and also am afraid to go to hell. but i know how it feels to have to go out in the world everyday and cover everything up with a fake smile.

i hope you feel better and things are improving for you. and if you ever need someone to talk to, i'm here.

I am 40 yo and going through the same thing, Do not wait to get help, I waited and am going through hell because of it. I am Diagnosed with Major Deppresion and stress/anxity disorder. I saw humanity as the only source of evil on this planet, A big discrace to this planet. I have killed myself twice, or tryed to. for years I did not want to be a part of humanity was ashamed to call myself a human. I have been suffering like you all my life. and now that I am getting therapy things are starting to get better. I just wish I would have got help when I was young instead of now after my life is half gone. Please get proffesional help now. don't end up like me and miss out on more than half of your life.

Every thing you say above is just the way I am. It is like reading my very own problems word for word. Please get professinal help. don't wait like I did. I have missed out on half my life. I am just starting to come out of a life long dark lonley painful life. Getting Professinal help is the best thing I ever did.
if you need to talk I am here. I have been through what you are going through for a long time. I am no doctor. I just know the pain from personal experiance. years of it.
My name is Don.

Atleast you actually think about something and care. That can be rare for kids in highschool Smile. Thats probably why you feel alienated. "Live life as it should be to show others what it could be." Thats a quote from Angel I think. Something like that anyway.

If you want it, here's some advice coming from another person who knows some of the stuff you're going through...
I know it might be hard, but you could try to do what I did. Whenever you might be up for a random medical-checkup or something, just mention some of the things you are feeling, and say that you're just not okay. I assure you, they won't alienate you like your friend did. If you want they can set you up for an appointment and they won't tell your parents if you just ask that they don't, and if you talk to someone, maybe you'll uncover a few things. Not feeling alright is reason enough. And about your friend: yeah, some people won't understand, which is why talking to someone more professional or someone here might help you. You're not alone in this, and if anyone, we take you seriously. Your friend's just one person, remember that, and a good friend wouldn't make you feel alienated that way, so don't critize yourself for that. That's a flaw she has, it isn't yours.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that: you might feel that you don't have enough reasons for you anger and your selfresentment to talk to someone, but you don't really need any. I'm pretty sure your problems have their roots attatched to something, but it doesn't have to be up to you to know what that is. Like I said, not feeling good is reason enough to ask for and to get help.
