I really don't know if this is the right
forum for my question...
...so i apologize in advance if I have
missed it.
Ok, I don't know how to start, or even how
to explain everything that is bothering
me. I will try somehow, and I hope you
will be able to understand me.(sorry for
some mistakes, but English is not my
mother tongue).
When I was really young I believed that
world is a happy place, and that bad
things happens only to other, unknown
people. I was a very active, playful and
cheerful kid. I lived with my dad, mom,
sis and bro.
But than at age of 10 my father died, and
I don't know how to explain but it didn't
affect me that much. At least I thought it
didn't. Than one year later, war broke
out in my country and my family and I had
to move to another part of the country.
Than my bro was in one city working, my
mother in another and my sister and I were
living with my mothers grandparents.
I went for one year in school in that
town. And thats when I have realised that
people are mean, and in 90% they wish u
harm. I had to admit I was a bit odd. I
talked different than other kids, and i
was a bit girly.
After that one year we went to live with
my mom. And we were living for 4 years in
2 different apartments, they were around
25-30m2 big.
And since we moved to the bigger city,
difference was even bigger to that what I
once called home.
It was really though. I got abused by
other kids and than even more because I
didn't wanna sit quietly. But 1vs5 was not
that fun. At that point I didn't wanna
mentioned anything to my family cause they
had enough problems as it was.
Eventually I got running inside my self.
Shutting out all people around me. Didn't
wanna make friends, was afraid to step out
of my building, etc.
Then I started going to another
school(high school, 14yo, education sistem
is probably different).
And at beginning wasn't that different.
but eventualy I managed to be as evil as
they are, so the whole abusing thing was a
lot better.
But than...Somewhere in 1st grade(of high
school) I had realized that I am
homosexual. But I kinda gave a vow to
myself, That I will never be with a man
even if I have to spend whole life alone.
At start It was only a sex thing and girls
attracted me more as persons. And at 3th
grade that was a bit stronger(probably
cause of hormones) . I had started to meet
some guys over internet. I met a couple of
them, but nothing happened cause they all
wanted sex, and I kinda thought that some
sort of relationship would be in order
first. So i quited that.
And since that point to now, whole my view
was changing. First guys just attracted me
sexually, than they attracted me as
persons too, and now I am at point where
I'm not that attracted by men or women in
sex way. I just wanna be with someone...
But than, I was always a bit shy. At least
since war. I never was satisfied with my
looks(even thou I don't look so bad).
generally I am afraid of realationship and
sex and everything that has to to with it.
One friend told me that Im afraid of
connection with anyone. Maybe that is
true.
I went to psychologist once. We talked for
3 sessions and than i stopped going. Cause
2 of 3 sessions I walked out crying. That
was a bit odd to me, I know that only when
I think about my father that I cry but
generally not about other things.
And here we come to the last part.
At the end of my high school I found out
that I had some kindey problems. And I
have been treating if so far(2.5 years).
Im taking some very serious medication.
And still no improvement. I have some hair
loss, and some weight gain. And this kinda
didn't help my confidence.
And since I had headaches for 4-5 years
doctor gave me some anti-depressives in
small amounts. In that way its working
against migraines. Thats why I was so
sensitive and i was crying over
everything(now I am going off those).
Mainly even thou I am still sick, I am
hoping for a normal recovery, and that
this medication wont affect my future
health. But it made me realize the power
of life. And I have to admit that many
times before I was thinking of suicide(but
I could never done that to my family),
many nights I was wishing about a day when
I would just disappear, and everything
would be as I have never even existed,
none would remember me, etc. Now those bad
thoughts are gone.
So everything that had happened to me so
far is I guess not that big of a deal.
Million of kinds go thought the same and
worse things.
But in my case all of this caused me to be
unfriendly, a bit locked up inside myself,
i judge people too fast, scared of any
intimate contact, having big doubts in
myself, and just thinking that I will
never be good enough.
And even if now i realize some of this
things, and i can see how it will end up
if I go on this way I cannot get rid of
them...
This is a long story, If anyone even read
it whole. There are more things that
probably had influence on my way of
thinking but it would be even longer tryin
to writhe those all down...
Im not sure what I want, Im have been lost
for a while now.
I think that headaches are on some
psychical basis. And if i sort some things
out they would go away.
I cannot talk about this with anyone. I
would not like to go to psychologist
again. And I cannot talk with my mother. I
would not like to worry her more than she
already do.
I cannot talk to my "friends" cause mostly
the know me as a type that doesent care
about anything, and it would be kinda
weird opening to them.
I just dont want to be alone anymore. Just
need a hug from time to time.
And mainly I dont want some grudges about
things that happened in the past to held
me down for the future.
I am 20yo now.

Wow, life can be really rough! You sound
like you have a depressive disorder.
Losing your father, moving due to war in
your country, sexual identity questions,
fear of relationships - all of that would
contribute to depression. You need to see
a psychologist or psychiatrist. I know you
don't want to and it made you cry. Perhaps
you need to cry. Crying is healing. You
need to talk about losing your dad, the
war, being bullied in school, your health
issues, your desire for an intimate
relationship...
That is a lot of stuff to carry around
everyday. Counseling can help you get rid
of some of the load. Intimate
relationships require one to be able to
open up. You are not able to do that
probably because of all the pain and hurt
you have endured. Give counseling a
chance. It can work wonders and you may be
able to have that relationship you want so
much. Wanting a close, intimate, warm
relationship with someone is natural. I
hope you are able to have that experience
soon. Get the help you need so you will be
a whole person who can give to someone
else.
