I don’t know what’s wrong with me. (TRIGGER WARNING)
Hello, I am 17 years old and i’ve never been in therapy and i’m not diagnosed with depression. But i feel like i was depressed in one point of my life. I had really bad health issues and i was struggling physically and mentally (i wasn’t able to walk, to eat, to sleep and it was hard to even communicate, the pain was all i was thinking about and most of the days i was just laying in bed). This condition lasted for about a month but it got to a point where the doctors didn’t know if i would make it. I feel like ever since this happened (it’s been almost 2 years) i cannot fully recover. Sometimes i get random feelings of sadness and i feel so lonely. Some days i don’t have any motivation and i just want to lay in my bed. I have no one i can talk to (i have great friends and family but they won’t understand this). I feel like i cannot control my emotions anymore (for example: i cry when i get a bad grade, i go crazy and start yelling when i lose something/break something even if it’s not that big of a deal). And it might sound mean or selfish but when someone is venting to me or complaining about something personal i get so annoyed. And sometimes most of the things they say really trigger me.
If you have any advice please help me.
Thank you for reading this.
@fairmindedOrange3007 It sounds like you had a very traumatic experience. It’s understandable that you would feel vulnerable after an event like that and maybe angry or confused. Having feelings like that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. If you are able to see a therapist they can help you process how you’re feeling. I hope the support on 7 Cups can help you as well.
