-- Posted by Anonymous at 12:36 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Please, only serious answers. I think there's something wrong with me, mentally. I constantly feel really really bad, I'd say it was depression but I don't want to go to the extreme and diagnose myself. I just feel like the world would be better off without me, like if I died, no one would care, that people would be happier that I'm finally gone. Also, I don't know whether I have some sort of paranoia or something, but I am convinced everyone hates me. I know this is a stupid and OTT thing to say, but I really believe it. I believe my best friend hates me, and my family, my own mother. I was at a party on Saturday, and a friend invited his friend whom I didn't know. The person I didn't know was in the room for 2 minutes, we hadn't even spoke, and I had convinced myself that he hated me, and that no one at the party wanted me there. I'm sick and tired of feeling this way. I would go to a GP, but I'm scared they're not going to believe me, or put me in a mental home or something. Plus, I don't want my parents to find out how I feel. There's a history of mental illness in my family, which is making me worry more. -- Posted by Taylor636Baker at 12:38 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Please seek help because it will just get worse. Find an adult you trust -- Posted by Written in Love at 12:40 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 you're not going to the extreme if you feel like you're depressed. talking to someone might help. I've felt the same way in the way that everyone hates me, but usually people are wrong with that feeling. if you died, people would most definitely care. There IS a group for depression, I suggest talking to them. I'm a good listener if you want to talk to someone personally. -- Posted by x3Giselex3 at 12:42 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Do not say your mentally disable or worried about being put into a home or anything because what you have is serious and there are people out there who generally do want to help you and look out for you. Plus not evryone hates you. I seriously think this is a mental thing. YOU HAVE TO LET SOMEONE KNOW !!!!!!!!!!  please for your own sake tell someone. You'll feel good to get it off your chest and talk to someone. They will understand and listen to you carefully and there only here to help you. You say theres a history of it in the family. This tells me that it most likely is a mental issue but its nothing to worry about once you get it checked out!! :) tell your parents or a doctor. You'LL feel better after and you'll thak ureself before its too late !!  please talk to someone. Noone is going to judge you. their only going to HELP YOU !!!!! -- Posted by Thanantos at 12:44 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 well i dont know you and i would care -- Posted by cutie2 at 4:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 I get mildly paranoid about people hating me, I take everything the wrong way and it makes my relationships harder than they need to be. I'm trying to deal with it but I was considering going back to my old therapist. Therapy is great when you're willing to cooperate and try to find what's wrong. No sensible GP should dismiss you - tell them what's happening, and ask if they can refer you to a therapist. If you need, I dunno, cheap ones, you should probably let the GP know that too... here, the government funds some stuff, I don't know what the deal is where you are though. Ask the GP what your options are. Take care, and know that it's worth doing something about!
