So here is my story..
i am a 22 year old female and I’ve never been more lost in my life. I really don’t know why..i have a great family, friends, job etc…but i feel empty, i cant control the way i act, think, or feel. its like someone else takes over and i cant even find myself.  What i find most difficult is to explain how i feel. No words can really express it. I’m usually just all over the place. Say one thing, do another. I’m not exactly sure what i want and I’m very indecisive. i worry about absolutely everything and when i even try to explain how i feel to others i just think I’m going to push them away with how fucked up in the head i really am. I think about death very often. i am not afraid of it. the only reason why i haven’t ended my life is because i still have that glimmer of hope somewhere in my mind that i will change and get better, but its not happening. What i cant stand the most is that because i don’t know who i am, or what i say or what i do..i cant even remember yesterday. If someone brings something up that i have done or said..i cant remember it. sometimes i feel like someone else is speaking and doing those things. I’m very emotional so when i hurt someones feelings, it kills me. i don’t even know I’m doing it. i have a guilty conscience all the time. like every day is walking on eggshells. I do sometimes have my days where i feel on top of the world and nothing can hurt me or stop me, but it fades and I’m back to square one. Ive had some horrible relationships in the past that i sometimes just want to blame it all on them, but only because i want to believe that. so i thought if i continued to think it was their fault i could eventually convince myself it really was…but we all know that doesn’t work like that. I was fine and delt with my issues and mentality for a little while until the last couple of months when my ex got physical with me. pretty much depleted all trust i have in humans. but mentally i got severely worse after that. i jumped around from guy to guy, breaking hearts and getting fucking hammered. i cant even really remember much since my ex. mostly because of the drinking..but i cant really remember anything anyway sober. Im a nervous wreck now and i cant allow myself or someone to get emotionally attached because once i start to feel anything i shut down. so thats where the breaking hearts come in to play. its like i lure them in just to shit on them the next day if i start to get close. Im conflicted with being alone or having someone there to help me. im scared, confused, and i just need help. I hate myself and the person i have become. i dont know who i am anymore. i would never want to be friends with myself and i feel like i dont deserve any love or respect. I want a way out. and i just want to be myself again.

Hello WhoamI22,
If nothing else it sounds like you might have a touch of PTSD…and the worst thing you could be doing it drinking alcohol…it is a depressant after all eh? I know you probably don’t think so…but you are still very young…and you should have hope. I have my own issues…probably some of them similiar to yours…but even I have found hope.
If you are waiting for things to get better…they won’t…time is not your friend in this regard. You need to stop waiting and get working…you are worth the effort. You could just be having a hormone imbalance problem for God’s sake. Have you seen a doctor or therapist about this? I just wish you would stop drinking…you’re just causing yourself more shame and embarassment that you will have to live with one day…memories have a way of coming back when you least expect them eh? Stoopid question….are you a survivor of childhood abuse as well? Just curious.
Here if you want to talk…atleast until the light show starts
