why do i hate life?


Question Posted Friday April 9 2010, 10:30 pm

18/male
I don't mean my own life as in kill myself, but just hate the fact that we exist. I don't really know why i feel this way, but i've felt myself be come more distant and generally happier if nobody is around and i am alone... I had become preoccupied with thoughts on existence and i figured its a fucked up joke. I also started cutting myself for what seems to me to be for no real reason. I never really feel connected to anyone and even though my family loves me i feel incapable of loving them back. Also i find everything we do in life ironic and stupid... am i insane?...Is this normal for a teen(except the cutting part)?

You're not abnormal, but you are depressed, and the feelings you are describing are very typical for depression. I know, I've been through it too. You don't feel "authentic". You cut yourself because its how you feel, and it reminds you you're real. You need professional help. Not because you are crazy, but because you have feelings you need to dig into and deal with and there's not really other people out there who you can just talk to. You need to talk to someone who can offer you solutions and guide you to a place of peace. Its totally possible. I did it. I was in therapy for a year and it really helped me connect back to reality, and it changed my life. You can have that too. Start by making an appointment with your family doctor. If anybody asks why, just say you haven't been feeling well lately, stomach problems or something. Just get there. Then tell your Dr. you think you need to see a counselor and can he/she refer you. If that doesn't work, check at school or google local councelling centers. Many community centers offer counselling for teens for free. The point is, if you really want to get better, you are going to have to take some steps yourself. No one can do it for you, but you CAN feel better. You won't regret it. I promise.
