I'm going to try make this as short and clear as possible. I've been kind of depressed for like 5 years and I'm 17 years old now. I only found out that I was depressed a couple of months ago though, and I've always thought that it was normal to feel like I've done for as long as I can remember. I've been having problems with family, school, friends and literally everything in my life to be honest. Nothing has been easy. I've always disliked my family for various reasons, probably because I'm extremely introverted and they are very extroverted. This has made it very hard for me to fit in and relax, which has made it very stressful and difficult for me to be at home. I have never liked school either, and the friends I had there literally backstabbed multiple times a day and treated me like shit. This has made it very difficult for me to make new friends and just talk to people my age in general. It's not that I'm afraid or panic when I do, but I just don't want to and feel extremely angry and uncomfortable. I recently dropped out of school for the second time because I just couldn't do it. It was draining me and I felt like I was dying. So now I'm stuck at home all day, depressed, frustrated, stuck, sleep way too much and just want to end it all. Currently it feels like I will never proceed in life because I just don't fit in anywhere.. I even tried getting a job but I felt the same way I did while at school.
Now you probably think I have horrible self confidence, that I'm self destructive, have anxiety and feel hopeless. But the problem is that I'm not and nobody I've ever talked to understood that. Even the physiologist I go to thinks I'm suicidal and that I have servere anxiety. I never get anxiety attacks or anything, rarely think negative thoughts about myself and I am actually happy with who I am. I do have hope for a future that I don't know the road to yet, even though I do nothing to find it yet. I feel so disconnected and different from the rest of the world and it's a very freeing feeling, but still stuck in a home I get stressed out by and a world who can't appreciate me for who I am. It's like I just want to travel somewhere no one knows of and be there alone with my thoughts until I die. Recently my physiologist prescribed antidepressants which I started taking 2 weeks ago, after arguing a lot with myself and thinking it through so many times because I'm afraid I will lose myself and who I am. I could never picture myself living a normal life like everybody else because I would never be able to find happiness or value in it. I started taking them because I eventually decided that my life will not going on if I don't and that I will probably end up leaving this world if I don't do it. It was and it is still painful taking these pills, it kind of feels like I'm accepting that I'm not appreciated by society and that who I am cannot succeed.
A week after starting taking these pills I think I lost it completely, I stayed in bed 3 days straight doing nothing but watching series and going to the bathroom once a while. This was during Christmas also so it was kind of sad that I didn't get to celebrate properly with my family. I still feel very awkward and weird talking to my family. I think it was some kind of side effects of the pills or something, or it was just that I felt very weird taking them. However I think they are starting to help now because I don't feel as heavy and tired as I did before. It's kind of weird actually because my body feels happy but my mind knows that my life is falling apart and that I'm horribly stuck in this situation and wants to sad and depressed. I was always against the pills because of this reason, since they only change how I feel and not the situation I'm in.
So currently I'm stuck in a situation where I literally have no future, my mood is very unstable, I'm stuck in a home with people I dislike, I don't have anyone to talk with about this and I have no power to change it. I have to choose between being myself and being happy or taking pills and having a future. Not only that but I'm starting to lose my friends because they are following the regular road of society while I'm stuck not knowing what to do. I know that this post probably makes no sense and is very weirdly written, but I need help and I just can't continue living like this. I'm so horribly stuck and just want to fade away, and while thinking about this my life and future is falling apart right in front of my life and no matter what I do I won't be happy.
Please tell what the hell is wrong with me.. :(
