Do I Have a Mental Disorder?
Question by RavensFan54: Do I have a mental disorder?
I’m currently 15. I just started going to a counselor because my mom forced me to because she says I seem very isolated and depressed. She says this because I literally never leave my room unless I have to or if I want to get food or something. For as long as I can remember I’ve always been kind of sad or angry. Ever since I was a little kid people have made fun of me because of my looks and I’ve always been shy so I don’t really talk much(especially to girls) and I don’t have much friends. Sometimes I cry and get sad because I wonder if I’ll ever have a girlfriend or get married and think “what girl would want me?” I sleep a lot and feel tired a lot. I am isolated and I never really leave the house unless I’m going with my mom somewhere. Some days I feel overwhelming sadness, it feels like I want to cry and be alone when that happens. I’ve always been ashamed about how I look because in school I’ve been made fun of for my looks, the way I walk, and I can’t really sit still without fidgeting. I’ve thought for a while now that I have some type of mental disorder but when I do I feel ashamed and weak because of it. I don’t talk to anyone about my problems and I basically keep them to myself. I feel like no one cares or will listen to me and I’m also embarrased to share my feelings. I really do feel sad and alone but I haven’t told my mom or the counselor. My mom was depressed and attempted to commit suicide when she was younger but she gets counseling now and urges me to tell her if anything is wrong but I just feel so ashamed. Can you give me your honest opinions and tell me what you think? Thanks.

you’re totally fine. and with the fidgeting problem its ocd(obsessive compulsive disorder) dont worry alot of people have it , including me. i don’t think you have any problems but maybe low self esteem. always think the best about yourself, everyone is amazing in their own way. don’t be ashamed of who you are be proud of what god had created. talking about your problems really helps. it lets all your frustrations out, which is key because exploding into emotion is just horrible. the feeling is worse. never keep things bottled in you. i think youre brave to share your story here . it’s good to be open with your parents or someone close to you. best luck 🙂

Feeling the same way here bud, everything you’ve said I’m going through. I’m 20 and never sought professional help, I strongly suggest that you keep getting counseling services and tell your mom about it. Your lucky to have a mom that understands your pain and is willing to listen and help. It might feel worst right now since your also going through puberty and teenage stuff but its the perfect time to treat it. Trust me it can get worst if you don’t take care of it now.
