[Something Serious]I am different.

There is a specific name for your condition; Seventh Grade Syndrome (which is perfectly fitting considering your age).

Mark my words, in a few years from now you'll remember this thread, and roll around the floor in embarassment knowing that this little piece of data is still floating about the Internet for all eternity.

I've never read so many experts on adolescent development and depression.

Talk to your parents about this.

Talk to a counselor. If one doesn't help you try another. There is a root to all of these problems that you have. I am not a psychologist, but it's quite obvious to me that you've got some things bottled up that need to be tracked down and rooted out.

You have no friends? Because of your personality? Well, then either change the way you present yourself to the world, or find other people like you.

You're fat? Do something about it. Go outside. Take karate classes - that will help you with your weight, strength, and balance. It teaches discipline and self esteem. Don't ask me how, but it does. Get off your butt and do something.

Your brother probably doesn't hate you. Maybe you should talk to him. Not about hitting you, but maybe about some of this other stuff. I assume he's older than you. Big brothers always beat up on little brothers, but maybe he'd "be there" for you, if you just talked with him.

No one on this forum hates you.

A lot of people enjoy pain, they're called masochists. Don't worry too much about that right now.

You're not passing 7th grade? Better get some help. School isn't hard. Life is hard. Enjoy school while you can.

If people beat up on you, defend yourself.

It's highly unlikely that people that you don't even know glare at you. Obviously, I'm from the US and I have no experience with Swedish culture. But if Texans don't glare death rays of hate and loathing at random people that look funny, then I can't see how Swedes would.

Speaking of "looking funny"...you've acknowledged that you're different. That's fine. You have long hair? That's not gay. Think of how many awesome people have long hair - we have a couple long haired guys here. 90% of all heavy metal is created by people with long hair. It's okay to like pink. Perhaps you shouldn't wear it all the time. It might be best if you opted for a more normal hairstyle, instead of the unusual one you mentioned. Your outward appearance is controllable by you. Work on it.

It sounds to me like you want to fit in, but you've made yourself into an outcast. That's 100% your problem. You make both your self image and the image that you present to the world. You cannot continually blame others for your problems. The world is not fair, and it is not a nice or welcoming place. You control your response to the world around you. Change your response.

ETA - I just say your pic in the other thread, you're not weird looking or anything. What're you so worried about? Does your school have a counselor or psychologist you can talk to? My schools always did. Those people are there to help you.

sorry daboo, this is something you have to conquer yourself. if you want someone to help you out just ask...if not then youll just be that sad little no-body for the rest of your life. let the people who want to help you in. a lot of us on this site have felt the same way that you have felt one day or another. we can help each other...let us see whats rong with you. we have to get to the core because that is where everything started. you want people to know how you feel, correct? or else you would'nt have started this post. well then go deeper, keep explaining and youll see for yourself why you feel the way you do.

Okay, i don't know if this really is the place to post(section), but i have to say this, cause it's pretty important why i am like i am.

The reason is, i am totally different, i am "hardcore" depressed, have been for two years, so when i say stuff about myself or such, it's cause of that, i discourage myself, i hate myself, i look ugly, i hate most stuff, i don't do much stuff with others, i am in a dark room most of the time.

I HAD to say it so people can understand what it is, cause it's abit wierd isn't it, if someone just say things to theirself without meaning it...

So, you're depressed? welcome to most of humanity.

I've never read so many experts on adolescent development and depression.

Well, you shouldn't expect to see many here, considering this is animeforum, and not Dr. Phil's discussion board. The OP probably doesn't understand that they won't get much "help" here.

CONGRATZ , its nothing unusual. just have to get the guts to start standing up to people.

i got bullied untill i was about 13 when i changed my hairstyle and attitude .
happy ever since

[Rolo Vi Britannia]

I'm the same way. I hate myself. I think I constantly ruin everything for everyone around me. Try having your father call you crazy. I mean, I love him, but he knows I have a mental disorder. I have a very bad anxiety disorder. I have either this:

Or this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocd

My therapist, of whom I was forced to stop visiting for financial reason, said I most likely had the former. I think there is something wrong with me and hate my constant worrying. I feel like if it doesn't stop, I'll go crazy.
I also feel like I'm incapable of forming relationships. Everyone I've met as either betrayed me, or hated me. I'm always kind, but they always use and betray me. I've been home schooled since 4th grade(currently in 11th) and only know around 4 people. However, I have a twin brother, and they're all his friends. I can't stand how lonely I am all the time....

If you really are depressed: Seek professional help. Anti-depressive medication exists, and it works. AF is not a suitable place to seek cures mental illnesses, so I'm closing the thread.
