please help =(

Anonymous cos all friends read the site.
Basically, i have a huge problem with anger and jealously and depression etc -every little thing annoys me and if i get a tiny bit stressed i'll cry and get really really angry. I can't control it and it's lead me to be obsessive and i've started pulling my hair out uncontrollably and can't stop that. I'm really paranoid all of the time and am convinced everyone is bitching about me and hates me. I get jealous when my friends talk to eachother and i know it's stupidly pathetic and wrong but I can't help myself....
Please help me before I go insane!!

id say im the same...but not really paranoid about what others think. In fact im the opposite these days, quite frankly dont give a damn what people think.

so not sure what adivce i can give, as i need it too!

sometimes i wish i could be someone else for just 5mins...just to see how they think and see things, as sometimes I think ive forgotten what happiness and genuine sadness are..i need my 'emotions' reformating, if that makes sense! i need to learn when what makes me happy and sad.

hey,
i have been through the same as you. i still do at times. i'm paranoid and i worry people don't like me all the time. however, a friend of mine stopped me one day and said 'look at yourself. do you really think you're going to be able to have friends and become a better person if you're the way you are?' it made me stop and think. and after having a holiday i realised that she was right.

it's all about confidence - something that i have little of, but i'm trying my best to gain more. dont think you're the only one out there like yourself. there are plenty of us. and as for crying over things, i do that all the time for the most pathetic reasons. sometimes i cry and don't even know why. but i understand now that crying is just part of life. it happens and it's not always a bad thing.

breaking the model... deveop some more confidence have more faith in yousrelf and then you'l have more faith in your friends and not have to constantly think lik eyou do. its not at all healthy.

I'd see go see a doctor as soon as possible, the type of behaviour you're describing isn't healthy.

Book an appointment with you're GP.

I know it's hard telling a stranger what's been happening to you, but your GP can refer you to someone who can help you help yourself.

Remember that you've got strength. Even typing your problems on this board required strength. Sure, you posted as anonymous, but it's still really hard to say ANYTHING when you're in situations like these.

You have strength. I believe you do, anyways.

Good luck with everything.

I think this is just a mixture of different things rolled into one. For example you obviously lack confidence and also have a negative attitude to some things.
If you're worried your friends hate you then you got to ask yourself, if they hated you they wouldn't be your friend still would they??? not like they can use you for anything after all is it????
Perhaps also some of your friend are more talkative than you?? so it might make you think they don't want to talk to you rather than they just have more to talk about??
As for jealousy issues and anger i can't say much as you didn't say other things that cause this problem. As im sure you really don't get upset over everything
