I can't tell if im mentally Ill or not, and it's driving me insane
I have never had a bad life, I've never experienced any trauma, and i don't have any actual symptoms. i don't know what the fuck is wrong with me, and it's all i can think about day or not. im constantly being so dramatic about everything. i don't have problems in my life. people wish they were me. it's not that im numb or unhappy with my life, i laugh, i laugh all the time. i feel happy all the time. but i never actually feels good. it feels odd to laugh, it feels odd to feel happy, it feels odd to be proud of my accomplishments, and i genuinely don't like feeling happy.
I sh, i have been for a few years now, and it's not really that bad, but it's not that shallow either. i have no idea why i do it. im not addicted like most people are, i can stop at anytime. i have to deliberately convince myself to do it everytime, and yet i keep doing it for some reason. i have attempted before, more than once, but it's never been serious enough to count or get me to a hospital.
i used to have dreams and ambition, atleast that's what i think. i could be remembering it wrong. but now it all feels pointless, for some reason. i keep cheating my way out of things. i don't put effort in anything- not because im tired, or because I can't, but because i just don't. i don't know why i don't. i keep picking this stupid phone up and scrolling for hours and hours on end just so i don't have to think about it. i don't even know what im trying not to think about.
i have so much potential. there's so so much i could be, but im not. i don't know why im not. i don't know anything anymore. i don't know what i want, i don't know what i like, i don't have opinions, i don't know why im like this, and I don't even know what "this" is supposed to be. im just being so dramatic and attention seeking all the time. i keep lying and lying and lying to everyone.
on one hand, i doubt this is normal. on the other hand, I've been reaserching so many different mental illnesses for such a long time now and reading about them over and over until nothing makes sense anymore, because how can i say i have x symptom without knowing that deep down, the only reason i show it is because i have it in the first place, and that my answers are biased because I want to be mentally ill so damn bad.
...it feels so stupid writing all this down, because i know nothing's wrong with me, but something's wrong. i don't know. i know im not making any sense, but I don't know how to put this into words. i just can't tell how i think, feel, or act anymore. not even a little bit.
