Question:
Please i dont know what to do with myself anymore?
hey lately i have been very unsure and uncomfortable in myself- i don't feel happy and i don't know how to act around people even aropund my closest friends and family. I know people just say be yourself and chill out, but really, i know it sounds weird, but I have forgotten how to do that. Whatever I do I feel uncomfortable, stupid and sad. please give me some advice to help me because all this is really getting me down.
Answers:
First of all, how old are you? If you are a teen, these feelings are somewhat normal... but since it sounds as though it interferes with your relatioships and other activities, I think you should tell a family member and get a doctor's appointment. (If you are old enough to go to the doctor's yourself, I believe you should try to.) You do not want to continue this way, it could lead to isolation, and if worse comes to worse- depression and suicidalness. I spent 10 days in a psych hospital because I felt like that and let the feelings continue until I had become suicidal. It could be a hormone issue or a chemical imbalance. Also, if there was something that happened to you that is somewhat traumatic, it could be contributing to these feelings. I hope this helps at least a bit... best wishes, and be careful about pushing off talking to a doctor.
