In fact, I’m an introverted person and prone to analyzing everything in my life. I always think over and over again about my mistakes, about what I should do and what I shouildn’t do, I always analyze my life. Sometimes I can’t sleep, because I think too much. I’m shy and I experience lack of self-confidence. I live like a vegetable. I want nothing, I have no goals, I don’t want to do anything. I’m 22 years old and this summer I’ll graduate from the university, but I don’t know what to do with my life…I’m depressed for a long time, I suppose approximately 9 years. It would be lie if i wrote that I didn’t know the reasons for my depression. I know them very well. Some are from my childhood. I don’t want to live and I don’t want to die. It sux. When I start doing smth I always think about my failure not about my success. I understand that such an approach won’t let me obtain smth in my life, but I can’t change anything…or I don’t want. I’m a looser and a coward ’cause I can’t end all this shit. I’m afraid of dying. Unfortunately.

Sometimes I feel the same way.. I’m maybe like you. I’m graduating in 2 years, not sure what to do with my life. Especially in regards to relationships. But it’s getting better. And I do have goals again. But it took me many years to get back on track. It really helps to write down your thoughts. I think you had the same feeling, when you posted this yesterday. Maybe someone would see it? That was quite frightening. You probably ended pressing submit quickly after having thought “do it, don’t do it.. what ever ‘click'”.. maybe. That’s how I felt. I never returned.. maybe you won’t return either. But that doesn’t matter. Things will get better..
thank you for your comment. yeah, I thought the same way, I mean “do it, don’t do it”. and, actually, I don’t know why I’ve just posted it here, ’cause, in fact, I don’t participate in such internet projects where ppl publish their thoughts, opinions, or whatever. Sometimes everything goes right, I feel ok, and life seems not so bad, but there’s always smth or someone who/which is getting me down. I know I should change my attitude to this world, but it’s hard.
I’m glad you appreciate it. I’ve posted a few posts at random places. Don’t remember where anymore. What I like about this though is that it’s anonymous and that it isn’t wierd to write about it here.
I think I know what you mean.. ppl have their thoughts and opinions. And sometimes they hurt sometimes they don’t.
Fx. I don’t like being alone in public – like in crowded places etc. My brain goes like “this person thinks this and that about me!”.. it’s a bit like feeling like these crazy people in the movies. It’s like a voice coming from nowhere. But think about it. No one knows what they think, you are thinking.. it goes both ways. It’s about finding a zone where you feel comfortable.

Hello again. Did you watch that video I suggested?
Having identified the source of your depression does give you a place to start addressing these issues (depending on the problem). One again, I don’t have any good news for you. There is nothing I can do to fix your self-confidence issues. That is something you will have to accomplish by yourself.
I guess my words of wisdom are: you know what you have to do – just do it. Overcome your confidence limitations and just do something. It is not that you already know what you must do, you know that you have to if you want to keep living.
Sigh…
You sound like a complicated person, but yours is a simple problem.
In fact of all the troubles I see on this site, yours is the most common; a thinker tormented by his own thoughts.
My first post here is entitled “the Voice”.
Read it, it is written to help you understand the diffrence between the thoughts in your head and your true self.
Soon I will post another brief look at freedom from negative thinking entitled;
“the Watcher”
hi,
maybe it helps to know that really A LOT of people have the same problems as you. i sure do. over thinking and analysing is somehow a normal instinct to us…i’d argue it’s what makes us human. but one thing i have found that nothing, NOTHING ever makes anymore sense, or is any easier if you keep on analysing it. In the end things never turn out the way you plan….
so, i know you can’t switch it off, or that you didn’t know all of this already…but you can control how much you let your over thinking get to you!
I must differ,
Our incessant thinking is what keeps us from our humanity, our being, but yes it has become instinct for us all.
And yes there is an off switch.
Find it and find peace.

hi, guys! thank you for all your comments. yes, perhaps, my problem isn’t a problem at all and it’s a common phenomenon for human beings, but it bothers me, i mean all these analyses i make in my head. sometimes they are not even useful. and i understand that thinking about past mistakes isn’t helpful at all, because nothing will be changed. but what the most awful is that my thoughts on mistrust to ppl, even friends, and sometimes parents, ruin the relationships. i mean i always think that i’ll be betrayed and ppl just want to use me, my kindness. that’s why i become agressive to push away ppl from me. it’s like a voice inside of my head: watch out! don’t trust them, they only want to use you.
trust is a hard thing. First of all, i dont think it is wise to trust strangers – that seems like just asking for trouble.
But, to really give your heart over to another requires trust. And YES, it can be misused and broken. And that pain is awful. But when it works – that joy is like no other too.
I wish nothing but JOY for you.
James, thank you!
