I'm looking for someone like me, who thinks like me

Without bursting into a song from The Jungle Book, I want to meet someone like me.

I haven't yet and it makes me feel even worse about myself. 

I have chemical depression, anxiety and paranoia. It hasn't been brought on by trauma and/or life events, it just is. Hence, the chemical part of it. 

I feel crappy and lost and helpless all the time. I don't trust anyone and I'm convinced that people don't like me through overanalysing their texts. I would like someone around my age, 22, if not a bit older. 

I just need to speak to someone about the things that go on in my head without being looked at like what I'm saying is totally insane.. 

If there is anyone else like me who also needs to talk, please do. I'm here and I would love to talk to you.

Please do burst into a song from The Jungle Book, that's what this forum really needs.

I would say I'm reasonably similar to you. I'm 21, blessed with depression and anxiety, and find myself constantly over-analysing what people say to me. My issues have also not been brought on by trauma/experiences..

If anything, I'd only look at you like you're insane because you seem so similar to me. Feeling crappy and lost and helpless would be so much better with someone else to share it with.

Hi,

I agree, this forum needs a viewing of the Jungle Book! 

I know you said 22 or a bit older, but i'm 19 and you're situation sounds exactly like mine. I too have a chemical imbalance among with some other joyful things. And it seems now more than ever I need someone to talk to who actually understands how I feel.

So if you're still looking for someone to talk to, I would love that. Either of you. 

I'm not sure how this site works, so if either of you get this, it would be nice to have a reply.

Hi Tomwalnut,

 

I realise you replied ages ago.. But would you still want to talk? I freaked out and never checked back on my post.. I would love to chat though.. I'm back in the same place. Please let me know

 

Thanks

Hi Just Flick..

 

WOuld you still like to chat? Sorry for the ridiculously late reply. I freaked out and never checked on my post because I convinced myself no one would reply.

Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Turtle

I'm so sorry I didn't reply sooner.. I wasn't sure if anyone would even reply and never checked..

Inefficient. 

I'd love to chat now if you would still be keen? Let me know

Thanks,

dear Searching, well I'm not that young by any means, but people your age have so many questions that are never answered, and because of this there are two roads to travel, and they are the good road and the bad road. Geoff.

Hi,

Really sorry about the late reply. But I saw your post and understand how you feel. I feel like am alone with suffering day to day because no one understands me. I suffer from anxiety mostly and it stops me from living. I am confused and have no identity. If you would still like to chat I'm here. I'm 29 by the way. Hope that's not too old. Take care

I need to talk. To anyone. I am not in a position to be fussy. I am twenty two. Considering suicide. Things' have reached a point of little hope. Friends have moved on. Family is an unrelenting force of destruction. Worries have plagued me. And darkness is all but consuming my soul. As well as sunburn. It's hot season. Anybody -
