Sounds like I met my twin over here. Read my post that is two below yours. I also live in a world within my brain that just analyzes everything to the point that it becomes constrewed. Everything I analzye must be put to the test to see if it truly exists and is something good and 99% of the time I can find a loophole in it and make it into something negative. When it becomes negative it only makes my world get darker and feel that much smaller. As far as what you mentioned above, I deal with that nonstop everyday. From telephone calls to face to face encounters I can't stop analyzing how the other person percieves me. It has made me completely insecure, unsure of myself, and has gotten to the point to where it's like I have an identity crisis. It's like this ongoing Inferiority complex towards the world because you can't be comfortable in your own skin for any extended amount of time without cycling into another state of mind. Well I'll blab all day here.......hit me back.Take care,
Tommy!!!!!!!!

Well my friend,I really am sick of it.Everything you said is exactly it.So much mental energy is wasted all throughout each day,I wake up each morning in a state of shock.I used to imagine reaching death or old age and finally realizing,how much of my life id wasted on this b*llshit,on trying to please everyone else,trying to conform and fit it,to analize everything down to absolute perfection,and like you said,that is so it,even if something really good happens I find something negative,then it becomes all twisted and bad.Its like iv lost myself somewhere along the way.Who am I?...........Take care,let me know if you find any answers,and I will you.

Well this problem has progressed in my life. It first came into my life when I was 15 and crashed hard into depression and anxiety and I was obsessed with the meaning of life. Then over a period of about 10 years it was manageable. I still had my very deep down depressions with out of this world obsessive thoughts but I was able to maintain some pretty good quality of life, some great memories, and a very active social life. Then somewhere about 3 years ago it started to creep back in and it completely has gotten so out of control over the past year or so of my life that I literally don't know where a year of my life has went. Also like you said it's like you lost yourself along the way. That's exactly the way I feel.....who am I and what is real anyway if things can change just by thoughts that come into your mind. If you come up with any suggestions let me know and I'll do the same.
Take care,
Tommy!!!!!!!

Yes,exactly.Same timeing as me.Real sadness,darkness,anziety,then I felt really good,then things went strange.With like you said a real questioning of life,analyzing everything.Its been sugested to me its bipolar.Iv thought of trying lithium.Id prefer lithium because im cautious what I take(anakize meds 2) and im sure that when I went on prozac it did permanant damage to me.Lith seems to protect the brain rather than damage it.I think maybe its like,in non diagnostic words we have a way of standing back and analyzing things because things arent how they should be,like an idealistic type personality,trying to figure everything out,trying to fit in,gosh I dont know.I just dont know.Catch ya friend.Will let you know how things go.Take care.
