Feeling very hopeless and empty, pls help?? Am I depersonalized?
I'm 24. I've been working for 4 years full time, without a degree as i have no motivation and no idea what to study.
I've been drifting around like a ghost for a long time since I left school. I'm hating life more and more each day, and I have been seeing a counseller on and off, about twice or thrice now. I'm going to see her again next week.
However, I have a feeling she has no idea what to do with/for me, although she tries, as she works in a non-profit organisation.
The reason I'm seeing her is because I have no one to talk to. I have burnt bridges, feel miserable being all alone, and yet I feel happy and have no desire to interact with other human beings. I drag myself to work everyday, and drag myself everywhere else. As long as i have to talk to other human beings I get very depressed. I have no social skills and have severe hearing impairment and a terrible lisp. Although I write very well, I speak very poorly.
I always feel that being anything is much better than being human..I'm so dissociated from the world. I don't feel like I belong, I don't feel like anyone understands me or cares about me.
Besides being said as 'selfish', which yes I agree I am - which human isn't? - I feel that I am depersonalized and also suffer from derealization.
Is there any truth to these two terms or am I just self-diagnosing myself wrongly?
I have been feeling this way for as long as I can remember. I was never an exuberant child, but I got worst the moment I hit puberty.
The closest I can describe is being and old soul trapped in someone's head, and looking out through her eyes. I see my movements as stilted (I move normal though, I'm physically ok. I'm pretty sporty. Not very active, but I'm ok-good in most sports), kind of like seeing limbs moving underwater; or I feel like my body is a machination with moving limbs that I don't control. I see people around me feeling pain, sadness and emotions, and I know they feel that, I can identify it. But I usually have no emotional responses to other people's distress. I can comfort them but it's lacking depth.
Pls help, I appreciate it so much!

Oh My goodness!!!!!!!! youre the freakin old me. I got out of high school and just drifted and i was so depressed because i wasnt sure what i want ed to study and i burnt soooooo many bridges with a lot my friends and things were just progressively going downhill. But then I put GOD in my life and HE changed everything. Like im going to visit my friend in Kansas City (im from nj) on the 27 (cant wait) and i found what i want to to and im going to go to school over there next year im telling you, like GOD has transformed my life in ways you cant imagine like ive made newer friends and things are just going my way i feel so much better when i wake up in the morning lol i mean if youre really interested in a life change then go to GOD but if you want to continue living the same just stay that way.... But GOD is Lord and he has made me better. msg me for more info if youre interested..
Edit: Actually ill just tell you now just in case lol i want to help you for the better and so does GOD so heres what you do, You ask GOD for forgiveness for your sins but ask sincerely and you have to mean it and if you mean it he will accept you and then you ask him to just break into your life and start to change it and you for the better and when youre done praying to the LORD you say in Jesus name because its is only through Jesus that we were able to be forgiven for our sins this way and through Jesus we can have a relationship with GOD because he died on the Cross for us. Well i hope you make the change in the end it will only make things better. :D
