Insanity...
16 male. I honestly think I am going insane. Things just have been building on me my entire life, and they are starting to just break through to the point where I cannot control my own emotions anymore.
It's like last night, everything inside me just exploded. My mom works on pit crew for my band, and she asked me to help unload the truck. Well, I happen to be the only person who uses the truck that has to unload because she is there. It always makes me a bit upset when she asks, but not like last night. Don't mention this, for it is not the issue. If you do, it is a 1.
What happened to me after scared me. I suddenly had flashback after flashback, showing me how un-normal I am. I have overprotective parents, first off, and began wishing things like they'd stop. I am a quiet person, and I wished that I could speak more. I have not had a girlfriend, I wished I could. I wanted my friends to be a bit closer to me. I wanted somebody to actually be interested in what I say, instead of blatently nodding. I wanted my sister back from her present self where she is dating a guy and is so rebellious that I can no longer stand it.
AKA, I wanted to finally be normal. And it has caused so much depression in me these past days... I feel like my life is going south, and I cannot even look north.
What do I do?

You didnt list any major reasons for you to be so unhappy here, but lots of times feelings of anger, worthlessness, hopelessness, depression, and other emotional problems are really caused by psycological disorders. Im diagnosed with Chronic Depression, and you sound a lot like what i went through. I used to be so shy and insecure around other people that i could barely talk. I never admitted that i could have something mentally wrong with me, i always blamed the way i felt and delt with things on myself and other things and people going on in my life. Feeling misunderstood and taken for granted are often ways of saying that you feel isolated... Im not claiming to know you or say that i know whats going on. But an estamated 1500million have medical reason for feeling the same way you do, and many of them dont know it. You know, by the year 2010 suicide could be the second leading death in america....
I know its hard to believe, but meds acutually do make a difference. Im not a doctor, an im not saying anything for ceratin [u don have to listen to me im crazy] but lots a ppl feel the way you do... talk to someone about it. Maybe you should try seeing a psycologist. I know it sounds stupid, but it could change the way you feel. Good luck ;-)

ur not insane, you just think you are. clinical depression is bullsh*t and everyone knows it. it's just a way for someone to say: "okay this will fix what i think is wrong with me" when really, they just dont wanna take the hard way out and face up to whats wrong with them, so thats not ur problem.
evvvverrryoone in the entire world goes through a phase where they cannot stand anyone around them at all to the point where they just wanna FLIP OUT and leave everything behind but, the truth is, you cant. and nothing about that makes you un-normal.
face up to whatever's bringing you down and do something about it, don't mope about, letting it get more and more into your head.
think about it.
you'll figure out how to overcome it.

normal doesnt exist, first of all. i had to learn that too. nobody is ever normal, because everyone has a different definition of normal.
it sounds like you might have clinical depression. theres nothing wrong with that. it may also just be that you are being moody, and theres nothing wrong with that either, because everyone is. you may want to go to a doctor though, in case it IS clinical depression.
also, you should talk to the people you want to listen to you, the people you want to be closer to. just sit them down and talk to them.

Hey there! I kind of feel like I'm in the same situation too right now, but the best thing to understand is that you are not un-normal. I feel that its the expectations you have for yourself that are really pushing you, and when you feel that you cannot achieve them, you don't feel good about yourself. But the best thing is this: Always give your best and know that everyone is not perfect, so forgive yourself for the mistakes that you do committ while reaching to achieve those expectations. Making mistakes is all a part of living, and if we don't grow and learn from our mistakes, we're not really living. So, although we all have expectations that drive us, it's okay if we fail--all you have you have to do is laugh and pick yourself up again.
Secondly, for all those things you wish could be better can only be changed by one person:YOU. And so, it's time to stand up and work for the things you want, and in this process, do not sit and worry about the past failures you have made. It's all about you, the present and the future. Take care always and God Bless...If you need anything else, you can just drop something in my inbox.

First off you are not un-normal. There is no such thing as normal. Normal is relative. What is normal for one isn't for another. It sounds to me as if you are wanting a little more control. It may not me normality you want, but to be able to have control in your life. Which is perfectly fine. Being a quiet person myself and therefore very lonely at times, the only way to stop it is to start talking. You would be surprised that with your friends it is easier than you think. If you want people to hear what you say, speak up. Get their attention and keep it. If they are your friends they should be willing to listen. Your sister will come around. This boy will most likely not be the one she will marry, so just bide your time. She is testing the waters and trying to assert her independence. Have a talk with your parents, tell them (calmly and intelligently) that you feel like you have too many strings attached. Ask them if it would hurt any to have some more freedom, granted that you don't abuse it. Tell then that in order for you to be able to make your own desicions and feel like you are on your way to being an adult, you need to be able to have more leeway. If you could prove yourself trustworthy, more freedom will come with it. Oh an by the way I don't care if you give me a 1, but don't type in info, if we are not to comment on it. If it isn't relavent, then don't put it in there and then threaten us with a 1. Not cool.

First off, I'd have to say that you are pretty normal, or at least your life is. A lot of teenagers have over-protective parents and clash with them a lot [I'm one of them]. I have often wished my parents would just be gone, but that's not the point. Did you know the number one fear is not death, but public speaking? There are so many people, not only teenagers, who want to 'talk more'. [again im one of them >>]. In order to get your friends to be closer, you have to be closer to your friends. invite them over just to talk or something. I remember I had a long talk with my two friends at like 2 am in the morning at someone's birthday party when we were the only ones awake. We were closer after talking non stop about things that our life. Talk to your sister. As siblings, you're get through to your sister better than your parents. Tell her that you're having issues dealing with her attitude and ask her to.. maybe calm down a bit and be more agreeable? She might lash out at you [my sister would], but talk to her calmly, dont try to yell at her or force her to change.
You are normal. There are a lot of people out there with lives similar to yours. You should talk to someone, a friend, guidance counselor, anyone you think you're close to. Keeping everything inside can be self-destructive and it's a good thing to get it out. Try to find someone who would understand you and just talk with them. Venting out your feelings [not like in breaking doors like my friend did] helps and keeps you from exploding from the pressure of emotions you keep hidden. There are people like you out there and there are people who are willing to listen, you just need to find them :)
If you need someone to talk to, jin.silver@gmail.com You know where to reach me.

I can't excatly put myself in your shoes much, but I'm trying. Just try to calm down and forget all the bad stuff that happened and relax. Then, make some use of your time. Get out and have a great time playing sports and trying to meet new people. Spend more time with your friends and show them how much you really care about them. Do some appreciation stuff for them and for your parents. Remember not to blow up at anything that happens.

Heh. Good story. You sound just about like every other depressed emo who thinks they have a huge problem on their hads.
I recommend sitting back and taking a look at the situation. You're just a teen who is being some what of a whiny wimp right now who thinks they have a problem.
It is all in your head.
