Feeling Weird...


Question Posted Sunday July 2 2006, 12:20 am

Okay...for the past 3 years I have dealt with cutting and eating disorders and up until recently the problems have been under control...but I have been like..relapsing? I guess that'd be the word. When I get extremely angry or sad the only thing that comes to mind is cutting...idk why! I don't want to die, but it is so easy to relieve pain that way. Of course I haven't cut myself because even when I think about it, my mind wanders which brings me to another point. My mind is always off somewhere thinking about things...things that scare me or challenge me causing me to just be a very nervous person. I can be ecstatic one moment..and then become depressed and hate life the next. I have told my Mom bout this becuz I think I may have ocd or be bi-polar or sumthing but she says it's not true and I am fine...I don't FEEL fine. I feel like a mental case and I don't want it to escalate. I want to think like everyone else, but I can't...everything reminds me of something no matter what it is...all I do is think of past experiences, things I want to happen, things that probably will happen...and I day-dream A LOT. What should I do? Nothing in particular is wrong in my life, but I feel unhappy anyways. What should I do?

Hi, it does sound a bit like depression. I know 3 types of people that are well trained on these issues:

Counsellor
Psychologist
Psychiatrist

You say that your unhappy. What exactly is making you feel unhappy. Is it friends, your love life, school what? There must be a percific reason why your feeling like this. Maybe you are bored or lonely and really want to fill your life up more. The simple solution is to join a club and go to disco's or places were you can meet people and make friends. It sounds as though you want to do something with your life but you feel as though it will turn out wrong or maybe your asking yourself the what if questions.
Get a pen and paper out and just write or brainstorm what your problem is. Really take the time to find out what your problem is and then work on what you can do to make the problem go away. Everyone has a problem and the best thing to do is to do our home work on it. Get a better understanding of why we feel this way. Only you truely know how you feel. It is also good to talk. A Psychiatrist is a good person to talk to because they deal with mental health issues and can recomend you try different things such as medication. It is up to you to sort this out. Work out what you really feel inside and why your feeling it. Work it all out and you should come out with what the problem is. Then try and find an answer to the problem and then perhaps talk with someone about it. I hope things improve and get better. It is a difficult time, I know. Daniel.

okay well I have been in you situation many of times, it is not easy go get over the horrible habbit or even thinking about it. Im sure you already know that you have depression and a severe case, anyways it's very wierd because you feel sad for no apparent reason. I would like to help you because I know exactly how you feel. Some people believe in medication, For me on the other hand, I am a very religious person so I believe in something like self meditation, finding out who you are, this may sound cheezy but it really works first you should definately see a counsler it is always nice to talk to someone but second you should take time to find out who you are, write down your goals and dreams even if they are really small and one by one find ways to avoid cutting set goals for yourself you diserve better than what you are giving yourself credit for..sorry this may not be much help but if you need any one to talk to (I am always here) :) hope I helped alittle.
