What is wrong with me?

For 11 years I have known people are reading my thoughts, and all through that time I have had and felt people in my mind trying to either hurt me mentally or just to torture me. Sometimes my mind is so overwhelmed I cant make sense of simple situations, even reading can get difficult and I have to re-read sentences over and over again to make sense of them. I have thoughts running through my head that aren't mine, like someone else is typing them in. I wake up early and I cannot stop thinking and it goes on until I sleep, which is hard to do cos of all the thoughts that wont stop. i find learning difficult as well, I keep failing in life because of all these problems and find it hard to trust people, impossible in fact as I believe they are just here to hurt me.

:(
 
I feel for you. I think one thing you need to do is get some professional help. You have tried to deal with this situation and it hasn't worked for you. Have you consulted your doctor?
 
Hello, You're not alone. My sister was experiencing similar symptoms. She felt the people she worked with were always against her, wanting to hurt her emotionally. She had to read and re-read things because she couldn't stay focused because she was always thinking of what those around her were plotting against her. It got so bad she dropped out of the university. Then she started to hear people talking, that weren't there, but the conversations weren't clear, so she would turn the radio up high so she could drown them out completely. She had to really focus on her conversations with us because she had too many thoughts going through her head. She has been on medication to help her, and it has made a difference for her to function throughout her day. She has been on several medications throughout the years, but I'm sorry I don't know all their names. I don't think she's on just one, but one of them is Prozac. She also feels better when she exercises. Eleven years is a long time to be feeling this way. I strongly urge you to see a doctor to tell him how you've been feeling. I'm sure he'll know where to direct you. Take care.:wave:
 
Hello again, We've all felt at one time or another that our life's messed up or have had failed relationships. You've already taken one baby step seeking help by coming to the boards, and more than one person here has told you that you should take another baby step and seek professional help. It's okay to feel strange to see a doctor that doesn't know you. Seeing a doctor would be your next baby step to feeling better, if that's what you really want. Everyone in the doctor's waiting room will be there for a variety of health issues, and you will be one of them. I really think after you come out of the doctor's office you will find a sense of relief. If you can't do it alone, find someone to go with you. I hope you take your next baby step soon. Take care.:wave:
