I don't know what to do. i don't want people to think Im crazy. I don't think theres nothing mentally wrong with me. I don't talk to people about the voices I hear cause they won't believe me or they will tell me to ignore it. I can't ignore it, its scary and loud. I can't sleep most of the time and Im paranoid. Im always looking around me cause I think evil spirits or demons are after me. I've seen shadow people since I was 9 years old. I also saw a lady with stitched lips and eyes, she had long curly hair and pale skin, I think she was a ghost or demon. Theres also this black cloud following me in my house
I also hear people talking all day, but I don't understand what they're saying. I heard a voice tell me I was going to hell once. I hear raging screams and growling all day. Whatever it is is scaring me. the voices are so loud I can't concentrate and I start shaking with fear. I hear something screaming like its angry at me. sometimes it sounds like its in my head or sometimes it sounds like its in the room with me. sometimes when I close my eyes I hear screaming.
I get paralyzed whether Im awake or sleep and sometimes I go blind. I always feel an evil presence in the room with me. A couple of hours after I prayed one night, I heard something growling & screaming angrily at me. It was loud & scary, but no one else heard it. The shadows I see moving around my house scare me too. I feel like something is watching me all the time & I see weird things out of the corners of my eye. I even felt something jump through my body once & I could it hear it breathing loud. I've seen black matter/ a cloud floating around me. This is so scary Ive cried and I don't know what else to do
Ive been doctors and no matter what all they will say is that this isn't real and Im just hallucinating. I don't even know if a priest or church will believe me. Im scared to be alone. I think theres something spiritual after me. my mom thinks I shouldn't be scared and she thinks theres something wrong with me and she won't listen. I don't do drugs or drink (link)

You need to see a priest. As many as possible. Heard of Cherokee Peters the seventh say Adventist organisation? Get in touch with them cause this is a spiritual malady. I'm so sorry for you!

I know I have social anxiety. I always have. My heart starts pounding, I get short of breath, and I have Tourettes, which also tend to go out of control in social situations so I'm standing there listening to someone and my body's twitching all over the place. I used to make my friends take up my papers in school because I was too scared to get up in front of everyone. Even getting picked on during class to answer a question made my face get really hot and my chest all tight.
I even do it over the Internet! If someone tries to chat me on Facebook, I get super nervous and spend at least five minutes trying to think of something proper to say, but then I feel like an idiot because when I do manage to finally speak, I always put my foot in my mouth. I know there's always going to be someone in the world who won't like me, but I guess the idea of that freaks me out so much that I try and please everyone when we first meet.
It doesn't help that this is preventing me from a job search. I hate using the phone because I start to stutter over the phone and at my last job interview, my mind drew a blank so I was stammering and tripping over words and saying extremely stupid things.
I have a therapist that I'm talking to, but I honestly don't think it's helping me overcome this. And it's so hard to force myself, because I know that I may get pumped up and ready to say something, but once I'm faced with the situation, my mind goes blank and I'm left stammering and picking words out of the air.
What I want to know is if there's anyone else with this problem, and what they may do to ease the suffocating sensation in a social situation because I'm never going to be able to get a job or make new friends this way. In fact, I think I'm losing some of my friends because of the way I talk when I finally get around to socializing. (link)

it gets better but you need to look at your self talk to dont overdramatise catastrophize a situation and think of things in shades of grey terms cause nothings for certain that kind of self talk can be helped by cognitive behavioral therapy with a psych

Lately, I've been really struggling to control my anxious thoughts and compulsive tendencies. I recently started working at an internship and have great difficulty forcing myself to go due to the anxiety I feel by the social obligation it requires. As a result, I am often absent during the week. I am always worried about what people think of me or if people are judging me. During times of great stress, I feel like running away. This is irrational and unrealistic seeing as my savings have been greatly reduced in order for me to finace working at this internship, which happens to be unpaid. I'm not currently on medication nor am I seeing a therapist because I don't have health insurance. Another factor that concerns me is my age. I am twenty-six years old and still living with my parents. I feel like I'm not advancing or progressing in life because of my anxiety. I often seriously think about running away but I know this is irrational, illogical and unrealistic given that I don't have enough money to support myself. I worry that I'll never fully be able to care for and support myself like everyone else does. Everything in life, especially social interaction, is very difficult and strenous for me. I currently have $250 in my savings account--I know most of the responses will try to dissuade me, but I would like to know if there are any options I can pursue in order to move forward with my life. I'm thinking about possibly going into the airforce; I know it would be a great challenge but they provide housing and a stipend every month for food. Plus, I'd be earning money and living independently. (link)

You need to find counceling options available in your area the most common and best treatment of social anxiety(social phobia )is Cognital Behavioural Therepy this could be in a group or individual would the government health department pay in your area?ask your doc anyhow and medication like a low dose of antidepressent wil help ask your doc its important you get help cause this is one of the easiest mental illnesses to overcome get it treated asap

Hello I'm 14 and I have the same problem I don't feel anything ... More like a shell ... I think this is due to being beaten in my child hood .. Iv stopped seeing carrie and tim as my mum and dad but more like stangers I know there's somtthing wrong with me due to being kicked out of school becuas I got in a fight and got abit carryed away and broke his arm :L and I don't feel happyness or anything like that but I just put on a happy face and lie to every one I know all the time know one really knows about my true self ....... I want to know is there anything I can to stop this? (link)

I really want to kill myself. I'm always depressed because I get picked on at school & my family members treat me like I'm a piece of crap. they think I'm a weirdo because I'm quiet & they tell me I don't have any friends, but if I told them I was getting picked on in school they probally wouldn't care or believe me. My family always fusses at me & talks about me like I'm worthless, they don't understand me & I don't want to talk to them because they never will understand.They say a lot of things to hurt my feelings & then I go to school & get picked on by kids because of the way I look. I have been being picked on since the 6th grade. If they found out that I cry in my room they probally wouldn't care or think I'm serious. I'probablyslapped before by a kid just because they didn't like me. I'm tired of being picked on at school & my family always putting me down. I'm not a ad kid. I make good grades, but I hate my life...When I get depressed I just go in my room and cry because if I talk to family about it they probally won't care. I even told my mom abot how I felt and she fusses about how I shouldnt take everything serious and theres something wrong with me. I don't even want to talk to anyone I just want to kill myself. I don't have a gun so I think the best way is to just use a knife. (link)

for someone my age i can definately say i have witnessed a lot of violence in my family. it started when i was 2. i still have flashbacks of how my dad beat my mom. and raped her. they divoreced and of course my mom won the court battle of full custody and i would only get get go with my dad Wednesday and every other weekend. a few years past and my mom got a new husband and they now have two kids (half broher and sister)i love them! then my stepdad got deported back to Mexico. He had no choice. And my mom was left with the kids and I. She struggled but i helped her around the house, clean, take care of the kids while she worked hard paying for our lttle apartment.
But i still had the Wednsday with my dad and every other weekend. So, my dad picked me up from my mom's aprtment and my dad and i left to go to his rented room. Night came and it was about 1:30 and i felt a hand on my vagina, it was my dad's(he was sleeping). . . . . i freakeD out and took his hand out and grabbed my phone and ran to the bathroom. i called my mom crying and she picked me up. and i as around 11-12. She called the cops but my dad HAS SOO MUCH FREAKING LUCK he conviced the police it was one of my hallicinations!or "wetdreams"?! and im like WHAT THE FUCKK?!!! I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND I DIDNT LIE The cops didnt beilive me (except for my mom) so CASE DISSMISSED.my momm couldnt take it anymore and she left with my permission back too Mexico. accrodding to law my mom has to leave me with my dad. and grandma. so he left she's now happy and im stuck here with my awesome grandma but with my stupid dad. i love/hate him. :/
and after all that shit^ im now 12-13 i started cutting myself and my guyfriend found out and he's telling me too stop (i cutt myself kinda deep)and he confiscaed all of my sharp objects. it's none of his business and it's not hurting anyone. it relaxes me. and idc what anyone says i'll still do it. i sometimes want to die and just have the world leave me alone. . .i've been acting strange with my dad and he wants me too see a physcoilogist because he thinks im "mentally unstable". . .Am i?? :( (link)

I'm M/16. Recently I've been starting to believe that I'm crazy. Not crazy as in jumping ans screaming crazy but by the way I think about myself & others. It's like I analyse things in my head in such a weird way. I'll think something, then I'll think back to myself like, "What the hell is wrong with you" Then I'll do something like judge someone in my head, then I'll get mad at myself for thinking that. THEN I'm always thinking about myself sometimes. Like, in my head, I'll call myself a cocky bastard or something bad. Then next minute I'll like forgive myself and blame others. Then that'll make me feel horrible again. Its like I'm stuck in a cycle. One minute I'm motivated to do something, then I'll lose interest or feel there's no point anymore. And if someone says something good about me, I feel like they're wrong or that they shouldn't say it. I'm basically not doing what I need to do to get what I want. And mentally attacking myself because I can do it but I don't. Its like physical vs. mental. (link)

My parents raised me to be an utter failure. Besides mentally absuing me, they destroyed my self esteem and my life and never gave me any chores, responsiblities or motivation to succeed. they never gave me any chance to excel, any opportunity to feel tha i had some self worth. they left me angry, helples and hopeless. Now I'm 33, and I have failed at everything I have ever tried, every job I have ever held. I was fired from practically every job I have help for incompetence or simply coming in late. I don't want to do anything and feel no motivation; I would rather end up a ward of the state or in a mental hospital...at least i could get fed and taken care of and not have to struggle just to earn some bread to eat. I hate life and never asked for it. I never wanted any of this, my parents brought me here against my will, fucked me up against my will, now after 30 years of hardwired helplessness I am supposed to thrive? I have no motivation to do anything...to work, to live. I just want to die, and if not, be taken care of, just sit in the grass and stare at the sky until I die, and just have peace the rest of my days. If you call me a spoiled brat, go fuck yourself. Taht's what I am, that's what I am wired to be...a loser. I tried job and failed them. I went to the army and had a nervous breakdown. I went to school for a medical degree and turn out to be a failure...i am too scared to make any decisions for my patients and instead I run and find a competent adult to make the hard choices because, well, I am a baby. I'm still living in my folks house, as I have no income at 33. No one wants to hire a new grad like me. And honestly, I don't want to work, fuck it, my parents thought it was so important to give birth to me and spend my whole childhood fucking me up, let them pay for my food. It's called consequences. I just want the end to come and I want to have nothing left to fail at. (link)

so I am a 20/f who is currently seeing a therapist for my problems. Well she knows i have a lot of anxiety, which i inherited from my mother. Well for the past few years I've been having some scary thoughts. Like for example I've had so many thoughts of my mom and dad getting hurt like in a car accident or someone trying to kill them, and i have no idea why. Also when my brother comes home i worry when he goes out that he'll never return and i always wait for him. There was another time when i was volunteering and i saw this adorable little girl who had down syndrome, and she was wearing this necklace and i kept imagining that someone will choke her. I didn't realize how serious this stuff was till today when i read that these are called intrusive thoughts on the internet. I have ADHD, and i heard these thoughts could be associated with that maybe? I see a psychiatrist for my ADHD and other issues, and then a psychologist as well. She doesn't know, because i am not sure how to tell her, since whenever i've told her anything she tells me i am fine and not to worry, or she'll think i am just making this up for attention. So what should i do? (link)
| |
talk to your psychologist thats what hes for and everyone has some disturbing thoughts .its how you react.ask him about "mindfulness"or doing CBT
|
I could be completely fine and just be weird or something, but i feel like somethings not quite right. im 17, female, and ill tell you a little about myself and my symptoms. i was raised in a very sheltered family but somehow became the complete opposite. my parents both waited till marriage to have sex and always want to know what im doing. i lost my virginity and got a tattoo when i was 16. i also steal peoples cars with my friends when the car owners fall asleep even when i didnt have a license. these are things that would have killed my mom but she never found out. after that i began stealing everything out of peoples cars or stores or even my own house. i sometimes pawn my own parents things and ive even sold drugs before to get money. and the thing is i have a job and dont need to steal or sell drugs for money. and i have a car so i dont need to steal other peoples. but i love it. i love the feeling of stealing and doing illegal things i guess you could say. i dont feel bad about it one bit or even think twice about it. its like i have no conscience. i also feel like nothing is ever my fault. im in all ap classes and have a scholorship to uva for soccer, and i would consider myself to be a smart and mature girl. i just have this love for recklessness and im not afraid to die. everyone tells me im going to die or get sent to jail soon but i dont care. nothing seems to bother me or make me even the tiniest bit upset, and ive never felt guilty before. the only things that could ever effect how i feel are my boyfriend of 2 years and my best friend. im pretty sure i love them more than anyone has ever loved anything. nothing else matters. something just seems a little off because no one else seems to really feel this way. anyone know whats up with me?

you sound like an addict..do u take drugs or alcohol? being responsible comes when your accountable for your actions and coming from a sheltered tfamily you havnt learnt yet.jails not a nice place and you say you dnt care when you do this stuff but you will.ur spirit inside dosent need all that crap.focus on your scholarship!

How is it a human being can no longer care wether they live or die? I'v been thinking alot and I realized I dont care. In fact i actually kind of want to die. I could never take the cowards way out, but still. i just don't care about anything. Is there a way where i could begin to care again? Why might i be feeling this way? (link)

you could find something to care about.what about getting a kitten?find a reason .art?music?spiritualality?

Around 5 to 4 years ago, when I was 12 I let my dog lick my penis twice. I havent done it since then and have deeply regretted it since then. It's recently been plagueing my head because I have this close friend who I care for a lot and whenever she says that I'm amazing and unique I feel bad because what if she knew I did that? Should I feel bad for having her think I'm such a great person even though I did that? Or since it happened years ago it shouldnt matter? I'm a completely different and more mature and wiser person, so should I care about who I am now or what I did? Is she close friends with a freak? Should I be arrested for having done it? She's told me before that she doesnt care about anything I've done and that its not important to her, but everytime she compliments me, I feel guilty. Please help and please answer each question if you can.

I thought I got over my depression, but recently all I feel is sad and exhausted. I'm so stressed out and I feel like I'm alone sometimes. I don't have anybody to talk with this about. My parents think I'm overly dramatic and I don't have any close friends anymore. I just can't take it anymore. (link)

you need to see a counciler.could you talk to your parents ask if they can find you someone?

I've been modeling for years now, wouldn't you think I'm super into myself and love what I see in the mirror? Wrong. I'm SO ridiculously self-concious it ruined my last relationship. I loved my ex boyfriend so much but we rarely had sex just because i was always said no. Obviously I want to because I love him, it's just I can't stand being naked and i have no confidence in the bedroom and he didn't understand that so he left me and it hurts but anyways I was wondering how to become comfortable in my own skin and not be so nervous about getting intimate? (link)
| |
when your home alone,dance crazy naked in front of your mirror pull funny faces.when your in bed maybe dim the lights or have them off and spend a lot of time under sheets kissing and cuddling.if you dont feel ready maybe go down on him or stroke him.. take it slowly.

I am a junior in high school. Although everyone says it's time to get serious once one reaches junior year, somehow I don't know how to adjust to it. I can be very lazy and seem to be pretty "chill" about this year. I don't seem to give a crap for the life of me and I just can't get my mind focused and out of the "summer zone", the zone where I just don't care about anything.
I feel so shitty. I feel like already I am going no where in life! At all! I don't know what I want to do after high school, and I just feel so lost. I realize everyone probably feels this way sometime in high school or later in life, or even earlier, but I just feel so...ugh. I don't even think I can afford college.
Not that I am putting excuses on others, but my childhood was very difficult. My father was never there to teach me or tell me about life in high school, and I was never raised to be independent, anyway. Half the time, my mother was going crazy, and she sunk down into a deep depression, as was I when my father abandoned us. Up until freshman year, my life was very dramatic and lonesome. I don't know anything about financial things, or even living on my own for that matter. I feel like a sorry excuse for a teenager and like I will never be able to live on my own and handle myself. I am very forgetful, lazy, and indecisive. I have difficulty paying attention and I try to stay focused and get what I need done, but I don't have much motivation. I'm smart at times and I have so many goals, I also love to write and stuff, but I never figured out what I want to do in life.
I need some guidance. I feel scared to go to my parents about this, and I just can't find anything to ease my worrisome thoughts.
I'm sixteen, and I'm a female.
Thank you. (link)
