I am surprised that no one else seems to feel like this. I find myself often exagerrated how bad I feel or making up a story to get people to feel sorry for me or to get my own way. I know it sounds very manipulative. I do get depressed a lot and when I get depressed I need to talk to someone. Sometimes I think I just worry too much. I used to be described as an over-active thinker when I was a child.
