I need help, I don't know what to do.?

Well, basically I'm a 19 year old guy and I have a lot of things wrong with me. I'm severly depressed, I have so many things going through my head and I can't stop it, also I can't help but being anti-social because I think everyone is better than me.

I cry myself to sleep every night because I'm emotionally unstable and I can't take it anymore. I don't have health insurance RIGHT NOW because my family just moved and everything is crazy right now, but my mom said we'll get some soon but she doesn't know about my problems because I cover them up.

I don't have any friends or anyone to talk to or have anything in common with. Everyone seems to be annoyed by me, which makes me even more anti-social. I've never known who I really am for as long as I can remember, but what I do know is I'm always sad, irritable, and even a little paranoid. What should I do because I can't take this anymore. I came really close to doing something everyone says is not worth it, I think you guys know what I'm talking about...I just want to be normal.

Update:

Also, if this helps, I have trouble controlling my thoughts, and I can't control myself from daydreaming, even when I'm at work or driving.

Update 2:

I don't 'want' to be depressed, I can't help it...

    Hey its alright take it easy.

    Its your thoughts that cause your pain, and you should be very proud of yourself that you are that aware of yourself. there is people that are in pain that don't even know that it is their thoughts causing their pain.

    Now you can do this on your on but I don't have time to help do the whole process right now with you. I can really only provide you with the source

    This is how you do the work.Fill out a worksheet

    This is an example

    You write down one of you thoughts

    http://www.thework.com/thework.php

    I think everyone is better than me.

    Your thought = pain SO you think everyone is better than you.

    Is it true ?

    Can you absolutely know that it is true?

    How do you react when you believe everyone is better than you?

    Who would you be without that thought?

    Turn it around(

    I'm better than everyone else How is that true or truer?

    Then your thoughts will let you go. All you ever need was right in front of your face. You don't need to control your thoughts. Its impossible when you are believing in them, its impossible. When you want to stop thinking too late you already are, the thought of you want to stop thinking. Your thoughts let go of you.

    Hi,

    I think i might understand what your going through (every experience is individual, but when i read your symptoms they were so similar to mine it was kind of scary).

    It's awful that you can't see your doctor but don't do anything stupid because there are some things which just can't be un done you know.

    I know it's a scary prospect but maybe explaining to your mum (or someone you trust) what your going through is the right thing to do here as you can't get medical help at the moment, even confidential phone lines are better than bottling it up and just letting the thought whirl round your head constantly.

    In the mean time they say exercise, healthy eating and just getting out the house helps. Also its advised not to take on any commitments that will put to much pressure on yourself.

    With the whole uncontrollable thoughts i find that reading, watching films or tv and listening to music tend to help me stay out of my head (it's not a perfect solution but it helps in the short term).

    Do you sleep to much? because i have to force myself out of bed and make myself sit in the garden and it tends to help my mood not become to dark later in the day.

    If you really cant tell your mum your reason for wanting to see a doctor make up a different less serious reason for her to hurry up with the health insurance like bad headaches or neck pain or something like that.

    With depression and other mental health condition there aren't always quick solution but there are solutions that really save people so please don't give up.

    I really hope this helps and that you are able to overcome this.

    Be strong.

    Go to a church and talk to the people there. Everyone is equal, so everyone cannot be better than you. Why be depessed when the world is so interesting? Be nice to people and they will be nice back. Good luck.
