These are things I can handle,things that don't worry me much but there are some things that are hard to explain that catch me off guard sometimes.
Like when I have to restrict myself from thinking because I swear people can hear my thoughts. Or how I always act as if someone is watching because I believe some people have powers to watch me at all times or maybe the government is watching me through my computer monitor.
Like when I have these strong impulsive thoughts that practically scream at me to break my arm or bash my head against the wall. No one would care anyway.
Like how ever time I so much as speak to someone, even someone I've known for years, and feel dejected in every way if they show the smallest disinterest.
Sometimes I don't even think some people are real, I don't even think I'm real anymore.
Lately I swear I hear whispers and shadows out of the corner of my eye but I'm always to scared to ask if someone hears it too.
All I want to do is sleep but I can't because I can't let anyone down.
Then there's these other violent scenes that flash across my mind of dead animals and people.
Everyone says that I should talk to people about my problems but for me it's physically impossible. I can't trust other people at all and I can't consider anyone my friend.
All of these things (and more) have made living unbearable and I'm really in a rut of wanting to kill myself but I'm afraid to fail and have my family disappointed in me again.
I just want to give up.

Hello Chase,
First of all, don't ever give up! You being able to come here and expressing yourself means you can and want to be helped. My son just had 1st or 2nd episode of paranoia similar to what you have described and the doc said it was delusion of reference. After starting medication ( olanzapine ) into 2nd week now, his condition improved so much, that he was able to resume school again.
I am not sure how it works in where you are, but you need see psychiatrist doctor to help you but I think you need to convince your dad to help you and try to find some charitable of sort to start if financially strapped.
How old are may I ask? Late teens/early twenties? Get help and you will get better soon.
