When we read about mental healh, it is very hard to discern whether what we feel matches a disorder and we often think that going to see a dr. will be futile. I'm trying to figure out whether I even have something abnormal. I've never read about anything that matches my situation. (See my longer description under "new members"-- " Is it depression?")

The biggest problem is that I have reoccuring thoughts about things people have done to me, I don't think of them as minor, though it seems that other people must deal with similar issues in a minor way. Almost always, it seems that the people in my life are jealous of something and make comments or do things that hurt. The pain I feel does effect my happiness in general, though I don't have any other "symptoms." I have a lot of trouble shaking off little trespasses. What should I do?

I personally feel you may benefit by talking with a therapist/counselar about this, and tell them exactly what you just posted here, it isn't futile even if you feel it is right now. Let the professional(s) be the ones to do any diagnosing, if possible avoid self diagnosis from reading internet stuff, though it's helpful it can also cause unecessary confusion and stress.
Don't be afraid to get help, you'd be surprised how it can improve your life and outlook.
I wish you lots of luck with this, welcome to PC.
Please, take care.
