I hate to do this, but I'm really not sure where this goes or what it would be categorized under. Feel free to move this if you think a different forum is more appropriate...

Basically, it feels like something's going on with me and the only way I know how to describe it is 'wrong'. I feel sometimes intense emotions over nothing. For example, sometimes I will just get what feels like frustration - that's the only word I'd be able to use to describe it even though I'm not completely sure that's what it is. It's like I'm extremely anxious over something, but it's not a panic attack, and I feel a lot of things at once. I just don't know how to describe all the things I'm feeling. I have recently stopped self-injuring, something I used to do to cope with these feelings, and now I feel like they are even more intense than ever. This time though, instead of just trying to get rid of them, I've been trying to figure them out and I just can't seem to do it.

It seems like something wrong with me, but I'm having the hardest time putting my finger on it. I just don't feel right. How would I ever be able to explain this to a T when I can't even put words to it? It's extremely discouraging.

I also find that my mind changes itself a lot. I know this sounds weird, but one moment I'll think "Absolutely. Positive. No ifs, ands, or buts about it" when thinking about something, then a while later, "No! Never!" I mean I can have one opinion about something that I truly mean at one point, then have a completely different opinion that I also think I truly mean at a later time. I've stopped completely trusting myself about thinking some things because I know they are subject to change at any moment. And this isn't some "Should I get ice cream? Okay...eh, no. Well...maybe. Nah." type thing. This is about big decisions, moral issues, where I stand on certain subjects, etc etc. Sorry if this is confusing, it confuses the hell out of me too.

Anyway I just thought I'd post and ask because lately it's really been getting confusing and I'm so tired of not knowing what it is that's wrong with me. Any input of any kind would be so greatly appreciated! Thanks!
