Somethings emotionally or mentally wrong with me

Posted , 4 users are following.

I've had random fits of crying since I was like around 12 or 13, I'm currently 16. I find myself thinking about things that have gone wrong, they're never really that serious, but I find myself crying either way. Lately I've been getting scared and surprised a lot. I have been in a bit of stress due to school, work and my social life in general. I just don't feel like anythings okay anymore. I used to self harm, but I feel like it was all just an act when I was younger, even though I'm still not happy with myself, my life, or even my family. I honestly don't know what's wrong and I just want to be able to be normally happy again without having to overthink things. It's exhausting.

    I was also recommend therapy when I was younger, but my parents decided not to let me go, because of the not so good relationship I have with my dad.

    Morning

    I understand where you are coming from, honestly I was going through the same thing with my daughter who is 17, she never went out even going to the shops was hurrendous x tried the doctors etc but they seem to just think it's her hormones? I know she also used to self harm but has now stopped she talks to me a lot and I feel like we are getting somewhere so I just keep trying xx I never push her though she comes to me x can't you talk to your family about how you feel? Are they approachable? I am here if you need to talk just to get things off your chest anytime, you can private inbox me xxxMy daughter has now started coming out with me just to the local and drinks pop as she not interested in alcohol but it gets her out. She also has a acne but I think this is from being stressed. I hope you can sort things out xx

    Hi,

    I am now 66 years old. It took a visit to the doctors , where I had a complete breakdown, 4 years ago, to convince me that I was suffering from depression. When my GP asked me to think back as to when I thought my depression had started I went all the way back to 13 years of age.

    All those years of secret crying, feeling worthless and always having to keep my emotions under control. Don't become like me, go to your GP, hopefully an understandable one and get help. Tablets are a good start because they do take the edginess down to a control able level. Then if your GP cannot get you councilling refer yourself to Italk or equivalent self help groups. It won't go away, I did the self harm and overdoses but got through that on my own but, do you really want to read this about yourself in 50 years time. Depression needs help to be defeated. Good luck to you. Mike

    Are you in UK?. Dont know the system if you are in US,but in UK at 16 you can see your doctor without your parents having anything to do with the consultation. You can decide for yourself whether you have therapy or not.  It will be totally private without your parents being told.   This is something you must not keep to yourself. So many teengers think the way you do and there are lots of professionals out there who can help you.  Sometimes its all do to with hormones but you may just need someone to talk to,      Do get some help. You are not alone.        PS I was once like you and appreciate the feeling of total misery,and not knowing why. Big hug wherever you are.
