I see all of these signs in myself but I know that nobody cares, knowing my friends they've seen these too but still don't care. it's always about themselves, even when I'm hurt I'm always trying to hear them out and give them comfort in a way that's appealing to them, yet at the same time I don't reach out to anyone for help anymore because no one cares- I don't even share that much I tell a single friend one thing like ONLY I'm not feel happy these days, THE BARE MINIMUM, and they make it seem like it's a mood breaker and annoying, that I'm telling them how I'm feeling and just a few words and they immediately they go quiet and change the conversation it literally hurts me so bad I'm crying right now as I type this and I didn't think I actually felt sad by this until now. I feel so lost, confused and alone. There's too much stress, anxiety, and reoccurring trauma in my life rightnow.
I don't know what to do I literally can't tell what kind of mental state I'm in right now I don't know what's happening to me, I'm questioning if I'm even sane anymore people have no idea how many feelings how much emotions and anxiety I have suppressed just for the sake of peace and not ruining someone's day because apparently my feelings are a burden even my parents think this and I hate it, I want to isolate myself from everyone in my life right now but at the same time I know I'm thinking impulsively because of the state I'm in. I'm literally wondering if everything is a delusion right now and I'm in some kind of coma or I got possessed or something- it's literally so bad I have no idea what's going on I just need to be at peace for once, I don't even know what it is I need right now. I wish I could be myself the beginning of last year I was at such peace despite being in so much calamity, I've never been bothered by The Wave people are in my life because I've never wavered from being myself but it feels like everything has changed from the the moment I started trying to act like how others want me to be and I've become too immersed in that I can't recognize myself. There's toxic influences that are literally changing my perception of how I think and how I see things and I can't move them from my life because I have to see them on a daily, they're leaving in a few weeks but I can barely survive even a day with them here does it make sense that you feel like you've suffered from trying to bear so much that now you just can't feel anything and you can't think about and process your emotions.
what is that feeling called? I just want to know what's going on with me I'm hurting so so bad and I have so many responsibilities I have to topple, nobody cares and time is not going to stop for me and that's a sad reality because I just have to keep going in suffering with school and trying to be the top students and all of these expectations but I'm suffering inside, j I can't have any time to myself, I just want everyone to go away because I feel like maybe I'll be able to acknowledge my true feelings I understand and process rather than to just be stuck in this void state where I can't feel anything but I know I'm hurting so bad.
I feel like I have no idea who I am right now I'm trying to familiarize my self with who I know myself as but I can't feel the same way I felt before I can barely feel anything I don't know what's going on.
have I broken down? I haven't been acting like myself lately for a while now I have no idea what's happening to me anymore please somebody help me I just want to know what's happening I'm so scared that I won't be able to recover, I literally want to cry right now.

In regards to the eating issue, I actually find that my severe anxiety levels and horrible mood swings are virtually flatlined on a low carb diet and one without sugar. I find that those 2 things, even more so combined, bring out my absolute worst, and being on the higher end of the autistic spectrum, I have sensitivities to foods as well. Pretty much grains, sugars and processed foods in general cause my anxiety levels and heart rate to absolutely sky rocket within a short space of time, almost to the point where I now have to avoid those foods completely if I want to obtain the ability to cope with doing practically anything that involves concentration and any level of stress. With those foods eradicated, I can cope with driving during rush hour, but add those in and I'm losing my temper and almost giving myself a stroke immediately!
The caveat is the fact that I'm going to struggle with maintaining strength for gym training, work and for dancing 2x a week but it's either that or ending up dead far sooner should the wrong place wrong time scenario take place. Just not worth that at all. Perhaps a relaxed paleo diet calls with a more modernised approach.
Bearing in mind that I'm not cured totally of these symptoms, things just become completely manageable and I can experience peace more often. Something for depressed/anxious people to perhaps try to see if this helps in any way, shape or form.

Yes absolutely true. I have complex-ptsd, trauma, major depression and anxiety and ocd not counting all my other health issues. I have a great doctor who's doing the best they can to truly help me. I have an excellent counselor as well. I take my medications everyday like my doctor tells me to do. I'm not going to lie. I struggle almost everyday with my complex ptsd and major depression and anxiety and ocd. I went through severe trauma in my childhood and most of my adult life. I go at my own pace and take it day by day. I'm disappointed in myself for not getting better faster but each person is different and unique.

Those eight symptoms describe the common attitudes and behaviors of the general population. It's no wonder so many don't take this seriously, it seems like a hustle. It's a list of symptoms FAR too common to be considered ABNORMAL. They are TYPICAL!
1 thru 4 as well as 7 and 8 have been me since I was about 8 years old. It's what everyone competes or fights over, which one of us has it worse? Life isn't perfect, but we're ingrates because we often forget our lives could be so much worse. We're living IMPERFECT lives of luxury and take it for granted.

What if it was actually the person at the sink? Sounds funny. But so often the people that are having a mental problem are not so obvious. I went to chess tournaments for years and played against a person many times. Thought I had a reasonable understanding of the person. He seemed someone who you would envy. Then found out he had committed suicide. You could have never expected it from talking to him. People's thoughts can be so hidden from us.

I saw a quote that say If you have the strength to take your life, why not use that strength to win it, i wish it was that easy, i mean which seems more reasonable, end your life with minutes of suffering in the process or trying to win for the next fifty years everyday.
i know this sounds out of context but to everyone who sees this, if you want to win it(life, you'll have to be stronger than you are now.

After watching this, I thought that I am also going through the same like losing interest in everything, no appetite, no good sleep and always changing my mood which is not me. Due to my working conditions and demanding boss, I started to feel tired and angry. They never care about that since money is everything for my boss. My coworkers are betraying me at the back too. So now I am really losing hope.

Problem with the system is that a person isn't allowed to interfere in another adult's life even if you highly suspect is they have mental problems. The law states that as long as they are not a danger to themselves there is absolutely nothing a person can do if the individual with the mental illness refuses to seek help.
