Q: mental paralyzed

hi, i dont know did i drop a right question here, but it took me alot of courage to post this cause i felt so insecure that everyone is against me and recording of what im doing and might know who am i.  i dont know am i suffering from any mental disorder or im just stressed. im depress most of the time, since age 10. ( im 19yrs old, student ) but no one know cause i dont express my feeling to anyone. im so suspicious that i dont trust anyone. i attempted suicide once by taking 18 pills of paracetamol (600mg). i was sent to the hospital after 5 hrs by my family. i meet the psychiatrist, refused to answer her question and telling lies too. ( even lie bout my own name) im so stubborn and reject to take treatment. have some memory loss. i really dont remember some of my pass history.

im suffering in anorexia 2 yrs ago (165cm 43kg) then bulimia nervosa for 1 and a half year. ( still having now ) currently 165cm 52kg. i hav no confident and low self-esteem.

 

frequently have suicide though, when my mood is at the bottom. i cut myself, i use long needle to pin my leg to release the inner/mental pain. sometime have mania though of killing/hurting someone.

 

i even have sleeping disorder,not sure insomnia or "Non-24-hour sleep wake" with bruxism too. i only sleep 3 hours everyday. sometime dont sleep at all. while in REM sleep, i can control my dream.(im not sure how others did,i don know is this common for others) ALL my dream are negative. i cry and sweat when dreaming, locked in dark room, someone try to kill me, death, unable to escape, etc. easily fall into REM. i selpt for 30 minutes and i had a long dream. at night im awaked by a strange feeling that someone is jumping on my bed. when i open my eyes no one is there. sometime heard someone calling my name or someone open the door.worst bed spinning and make me dizzy. Every morning i wake up feeling extreamly tired even at holidays and every morning my 1st though is " another long terrible day". i hear strange voices, but i cant tell it is real or its was my hallucination.sometimes i mixed things happen in dream and reality and sometime i thought it happen years ago but the truth is it just happen yesterday.

 

i feel everyone is talking behind my back. i have this stupid though that the host in the television can see what im doing(rarely happen) each time i took my shower, i felt there is a camera recording me and the world can see me. i lose interest in everything. im not attracted to any movies,object,activitys,peoples... i dont see any beauty out there. even im typing now i felt u already reading it. i hate people to touch me or ask about my stuff.

 

i appear to be healty and normal infront of my family and friend, maybe a little introvert. but im not comfortable when outdoor-ing. i rejected every activity or hang out with friend by telling them im busy. im afraid to  answer incoming calls. i talk to myself alot(loudly when no one around) i talk and talk and then i laugh without reason. few second later i feel down.. ... worst cried. i cry and laugh of sudden without reason. i dont smoke, alcohol or take drug at all.

 

im afraid im scared im confused. i feel despair, hopeless ... a part of me telling myself should accept and seek for a treatment, but i just cant trust everyone. sometimes i'll think ... why human work so hard to keep self alive....should i be continue ?? i know evryone suffer from stress. but its this common ? or its just that im too weak

Hi faceless,

 

Your life is sacred.  It can be a good life if you get help.  You don't have to go it alone.

 

I feel for your pain and the distress you're in.

 

I want to let you know that you are not alone and other people have felt what you felt or gone through what you have.

 

It isn't too late to find relief from your worries.

 

With the right treatment, you'll feel much better.

 

I don't treat or diagnose medical conditions, or give medical advice.

However, from what you've said, I believe you would benefit from seeing a professional immediately.

 

Please, consider going to a psych emergency room or local community clinic ASAP.

 

If you're in crisis, and you appear to be, you can also call a toll-free number and speak to someone.  (800) 273-TALK (8255) is the number to call.

 

Please call that number or seek help.

 

I want to see you feel better.

 

You can definitely feel better.

 

Regards,

Christina

First, I am glad that you are seeking help. However, I am not a psychiatrist or an expert, but I strongly recommend you to speak with a psychiatrist to see if the symptoms you are experiencing is a form of mental illness or not. If it is a form of mental illness, I am glad you caught onto it and can get help for yourself...

 

Remember the psychiatrist is there to help you, and does not want to see you suffer, so try to answer their questions honestly, and at least listen to their advice before making a decision whether you would take threir suggested plan of action or not.

 

When I was experiencing symptoms of my mental illness I did not recognize what was happening, at least you have some sort of insight as to what is happening to you. Whatever the outcome of your session with the psychiatrist SchizophreniaConnection.com is here to support you.

 

Good luck and God bless!

Dear friend -- if you are really interested in feeling better, you must have the courage to find a psychiatrist to work with.  A psychiatrist is trained to treat people who have difficulty expressing themselves.  Also, as you probably know, medication is probably the biggest help you are going to get.  Give yourself the present of going to the doctor and taking the meds he prescribes.  Be good to yourself and do it.

 

Best wishes,

Carolyn
