Myself

I don’t know what to say I guess I just need help to understand my feelings or just someone to talk to and tell me what’s wrong with me

The warmest of welcomes to you as you set out on your quest to make greater sense of how you're feeling. So many questions on such a significant quest.

We humans are definitely complex creatures, seeing we can feel on 3 different levels.

• Mentally, we can feel our inner dialogue, both good and bad. We can feel happy belief systems and depressing ones that've gotta go. We can feel what we see in our imagination. We can even feel the speed at which we think, with such mental hyperactivity leading to anxiety in some cases
• Physically, we can feel what our chemistry's doing, even if we can't pick which kind of chemistry's causing the issues. We can feel the side effects of chemical deficiencies or imbalances. Whether it's a depressing lack of dopamine or serotonin, a depressing iron, b12 or thyroid deficiency or something else, we'll be able to feel all these things when they reach depressing levels, that's for sure
• Naturally, we'll be able to feel what 'Twisting in the wind, with no sense of direction' feels like. We'll be able to feel who's truly inspirational and who's not or the kind of people who make no difference. If we're a major or intense feeler, we'll even be able to feel the depressing, angry, happy or upbeat vibe of a room when we walk into it. Even other people's approval of us or disapproval has a feel to it. So much to naturally feel in life

Would be so much easier if, from day one, we were taught 'You're going to be feeling so much in life and here's how to do it like a pro...'. Unfortunately, it rarely ever goes that way. Instead, we're left to make greater sense of all that we feel on our own. Even worse, in my opinion, is when we're led to feel ashamed of being sensitive. Sensitivity involves the ability to sense what you feel. How to sense accurately or 'how to come to our senses' in constructive ways becomes the goal. This way we can say 'I know exactly what it is I'm feeling/sensing in this case'.

Being a sensitive gal, I've learned over time to stop asking 'What's wrong with me?' (because that question can feel depressing) and instead replace this with 'I just can get a sense of what it is I'm feeling'. Finding someone to help me make greater sense of things becomes the goal.

Hi Guest, thanks for reaching out.

If you feel comfortable explaining to us further what you think might be wrong with you, that would be very helpful.

Some examples may be:

"I feel like I'm not a good person."

"I feel like I am weird."

"I have done something that I am not proud of that may have hurt someone else."

"I think I have a mental illness such as depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, OCD, bipolar, schizophrenia, or something else." (Even if you think you might have a more serious disorder such as some type of narcissism, this is a safe place to talk about it. I talked about my problem with it on here and felt very safe doing so and got some really good advice for it).

"Someone makes me feel like I'm a bad person and/or like there is something wrong with me"

"I did/do something that I think is weird"
