i dont even know...

Postby lnly19x » Mon Oct 24, 2011 11:45 pm

hey, so i don't really have a story, my parents never abused me....i grew up middle class had friends, a girlfriend here and there.....i was active in sports and music. i was diagnosed when i was about 13 with ADD/ADHD (i know not uncommon) but that was the start of a slow and long spiral. around that time i moved to my states capital from a rural neighborhood about 45 minutes away, far enough away so a 11-12 year couldn't see his old friends on a regular basis but not so far that i could live both my new and old life.

So i don't get ahead of my self let me tell you a little about my personality, i'm very secretive i have nothing to hide its just my style, i'm extremely observant almost to a fault i spend to much time noticing my surroundings i almost forget what i'm engaging my self in at the moment, i love to educate myself i'm constantly reading up on what ever i'm interested in. my lack of a need for interpersonal relationships has given me the opportunity to completely alienate myself from all of my friends except a select few, but i feel they are on there way out too. i still live with my family(i'm 19, so i hope thats not too weird) so i'm not a complete loner.

I'm writing this while i'm having a minor anxiety attack and also craving my next camel filter, so i hope i'm not jumping to different topics randomly kind of like i just did ;)

anyways, when i was about 15-16 give or take, my doctors diagnosed me with what they call "Clinical Depression" Generalized Anxiety Disorder" and "OCD Tendencies"(i don't think thats a real disorder). so for a while i was taking the usually meds. Adderall(spellcheck?) ritlalin and i went thru a couple anti-depresants(i was 16 mind you). i was on this cocktail for about 3 years i stopped the uppers before the anti-depresants a year later . through those years i was stable, naturaly shy, but stable. i managed to hold close relationships and 2 girlfriends, althiough they only lasted about a month or so and i know that dosen't typically qualify for a real relationship but hey im quite proud of myself given my current stuaution. so im really not going to give much more detail than that i think you get the picture.

so here i am, no meds no friends, no girlfriend. i work part time and manage to support my self pay check to pay check. i don't skateboard anymore, i don't play guitar anymore.....i spend way to much time on the computer.....its very hard for me to now talk to girls, i always feel sexual tension but its all in my head, its hard for me to meet new people. i cant hold a conversation too well due to my lack of adult life experance(im completly irrelivant). i feel like there is somthing terribly wrong with me....like im just really odd. which then adds to a lack of confidence and then effects my interaction with other people, its a cycle. and knowive gotten to the point of my rant where ive forgotten why and what section ive posted this under so if anyone gets this far im very very GRATEFUL i know i didnt say much but this is HUGE for me ive never explained this much to anyone not even my old theripests or family....again im very very greatfull for your time i feel alone in this time in my life and i just need someone even if its the internet to here me


P.S. also im having an anxiety attack over a lie i told today, i amde a comment about someone i dont even know, i never lie i dont know why i did it but i couldnt controll my words at the time, and i have a feeling its going to "blow up" tomorow......this should show how irrational i am ;)

Dear lnly19x,

When I read your story it struck a cord with me. I also had a rough transitioning period when I was in high school when I transferred schools. I also have been diagnosed with Clinical Depression and Anxiety. Please know that you're not alone. I've been that awkward girl in school who spaces out, lies without thinking, and feels empty inside. I still am to this day but I haven't given up hope. There's got to be an answer. I really would like to talk sometime. I feel like we have a lot of the same symptoms. It would be nice to have someone who actually understands...
