Also I feel like I need to hug my friend really badly. I am also scared of being alone and feel like I am too close to friends and want to be really intimate with them and I get jealius of them. I feel really empty and confused too. Someone please help. Does anyone else feel like this? .

Hello tesseract49: Sure... I think all of us here on PC can relate to some or all of the experiences you describe. I certainly can. But it would not be appropriate for us to try to diagnose what is going on with you. For that you need to see either a psychiatrist or therapist. And without knowing more specifically what you're dealing with, it's difficult to know what to suggest.
It sounds to me as though quite a bit of what you're experiencing may be related to anxiety. Some of the more common approaches to anxiety include: getting enough sleep, dietary changes, meditation, exercise, reducing or eliminating exposure to stress-producing events or activities. And then, of course, there are prescription medications. These require the services of a psychiatrist, of course. Have you tried any of these kinds of things?
