Why do I feel this way .. ??
​
I (19)have been a top student since I was a child, as well as an all-rounder in both sports and extracurricular activities. I used to be a really extroverted kid who participated in almost everything. However, after I turned 14, everything went downhill. The pandemic hit, and my life has not been the same since. I became incredibly self-conscious about my body after developing fungal acne all over my face and body, which made me feel deeply insecure.i felt everybody around me was so beautiful and I felt like an ugly ass pig.
Around that time, I lost all of my childhood friends, moved to a different place, and experienced bullying. Everyone began to view me as weird, and I transformed into the quietest kid in the class. Had gone through some trauma that made me extremely introverted and I also cut my self one at 14.[tried multipe suicide attempts from age 14 to 16, never after that ]
Now, I feel entirely numb. I have lost interest in all of my hobbies and no longer participate in any social activities. Nothing romantically interesting has ever happened in my life—I haven’t even had a crush. I have never felt attracted to anyone because I constantly feel like I am not good enough, which makes me feel like I might be asexual. Every single thing feels completely overwhelming to me, and I find myself thinking from very detached, different perspectives. Simply existing in a physical body is so difficult. I just feel like I want to die because my life feels incredibly bland, boring, and devoid of purpose.
Even though I have very loving parents, I still feel a strong urge to leave them, erase my identity as their daughter, and move away to the woods to live alone until I die. I don't feel happy in this crowded city surrounded by walls instead of nature; everything here feels toxic, and I deeply long to live in the forest.
Recently, my grandfather—who I was incredibly close to and grew up with—passed away. I didn’t even feel pain or cry; I have truly lost all of my emotions.
Another thing is that after a certain age, I started creating different personalities for every situation and person in my life. For example, if you were to ask my pre-college friends from a year ago about me, and then ask my current college classmates, you would get two completely different answers.Not only college and school, but for every single situation.
Ultimately, life feels so empty yet simultaneously overwhelming.I have somewhat convinced myself that staying like this is normal , and now i am used to this.I just want to die.I wouldn't say I am actively suicidal, but if a vehicle were coming straight toward me, I wouldn't move out of the way.
