It's a mixture of depression and a sort of slight madness. Like I find myself doing odd things (like asking my mum if she would like an iPhone) and being very… obsessive and weird. And drunk. Like I don't know what direction life is taking me in. Like I'm going nowhere.

I'm obsessed with sex at the moment. I just feel… odd. Like I don't fit. Like I'm incompatible. I've always felt incompatible but never quite in this way before. I feel like I don't fit, don't belong. I want to be loved. I know my mum loves me, and she tells me so, but I don't quite love myself if that sounds right.

Also, I have rather embarrassing rants when I'm inebriated. As well as don't drink and drive ('cos you'll spill it), you shouldn't drink and post.

I'm on medication (60mg/day) but I sort of feel unstable. Like I'm looking for approval. I have lost three stone but have a lot more to lose.

I don't really have that much of an interest in my usual pursuits and feel 'cut adrift' from everyone else at the moment. It's really weird.

Any advice? ;)

yeah...........i don't love myself either......im in a pretty awesome mood right now, but i doubt it will last. im tryin to keep the positive vibes going, but i feel being realistic is key too.

sometimes i wish life was a piece of cake - it's so hard to enjoy life's mystery when im predisposed to fail socially and otherwise.

i do hope things get better for you! :)

to the OP: i believe that if you engaged in daily vigorous physical exercise, that would accomplish two things-

*it would clear the cobwebs from your brain and make you think more clearly, and generate feel-good chemicals/endorphins to lift your mood. it might even lessen the need for pmeds.

*it would make you too tired to think of depressing things. you would fall asleep at the end of the day, straightaway.

just a thought. but i can say for a fact that it works for me.

You've just described me when I was your age. Exercise would help a lot. I went through the exact same thing when I was your age. The depression, madness and obsession with sex. All that happening after I saw a movie that I shouldn't have. I was also into the beer and the sauce. I was also losing interest in the things that made me the person that I was back than and the person that I am, in the present. I didn't know what was going on with me.

I also felt that there was no place in this world where I fit in and belonged. I'm a unique person so that was understandable, but I still wanted to find a place in the world that would welcome me with open arms, while accepting my uniqueness. I found that place a year later.

I hope that you have somebody to talk to about this. Somebody who knows what they're doing. I hope that things work out for you. You deserve the best. Hang in there. :)
