What illness do I have?

Question

I can't concentrate very well, I lose interest in things extremely quickly, I push myself to the point of mental exhaustion just to prove a point to myself, I work extremely hard at anything I commit to even if I loathe it. I seem happy go lucky and have many friends and love being social, but I feel utterly alone.  I never tell anyone how I really feel because I really trust no one.  I don't even feel comfortable talking to my own mother.  I over think every single thing and when something makes me happy I always think of something to ruin that feeling.

Based on what you describe, I'm not sure I'd diagnose you with anything, quite frankly. Don't get me wrong; there is something going on, but I don't see any clear mental illness here. Depression doesn't entirely make sense, as you are driven, working hard, having friends, and are social. Anxiety doesn't seem to fit well for many of the same reasons. I suspect there may be some deeper issue at work that is leaving you feeling bored, unfulfilled, and looking for something more meaningful in your life. An issue like this can create major problems - some of which  you have noted - but is not a mental illness. 

BTW, Theresa: what you describe is not Bipolar Disorder. Sorry.

First of all it is not a disease. Its most likely a disorder. Which it seems like your like me. I have Bipolar( which is I'm angry and then happy in a quick random change for no reason), Anxiety (Makes you worry alot), Depression (feeling sad or suicidal), ADHD (Hyper can't focus and always moving) Disorders. They are NOT disease. Talk to a doctor or look them up. Your are perfectly fine you are just going through stuff. Lots of people do. You will be fine :D
