Loner? Why do I feel this way?

Question:

For some reason around family and friends im a serious loner. I will somtimes end a phone call because im lonely. I don't really have much to do with family. Im getting irritable and tired. I hate my moms boyfriend with a passion and my mom is usually busy. My brother hates me. I feel sad. I spend all my time in my room. Somtimes I come out to get on the computer. I eat in my room as well. Either that or I eat alone at the table. I have 36 imaginary friends I made up and some from my favorite shows. I homeschool and I am in no clubs. My mom says she'll get me in one but its been a year since then. My two real friends want to help but they don't know how to get me to open up. I will list symptoms:

Less attention to things I love
sadness
Not wanting to die but to 'fade away'
Trouble sleeping
Hatred torwards people I love
diffrent eating habits
wanting to be alone

Those are some symptons I have. Please tell me your opinions of what this is.

Answers:
You know. I used to be like that. And I've completely turned tables and have a postive outlook towards life.
What changed me was getting myself to get out. I had a passion for martial arts so I made sure that I did it as often as possible. And going to classes helped me share my passion with other people. And it became even better when I got a job.
So I would suggest finding people that you have something in common with. Even if it's online. A passion that you would share with other people. Also, I wasn't religous, but for some reason reading the bible helped too.
By the way, I don't know you to know why you feel the way you do but your symptoms are signs of depression and that can cause a lot of other health problems, so you should take some steps to make it better.

there is nothing wrong with you
you need to talk to your family and tell them how you feel.

Depression. you sound like you're actually hoping we'll tell you that you have a disease or something. quit feeling sorry for yourself and get out of the house and make friends.

Your condition seems to be serious because in the past i've suffered from something called social anxiety, which just means that I feel awkward in social situations (teen problems), but you're describing depression.(symptoms= sadness, eating habits change, thinking about death).Your mother not being around perhaps causes this because you don't have an older authoritative figure in your life to give you guidance. Talk to a counselor, or go to the doc perhaps he/she may perscribe anti-depressant pills. I hope you feel better, and whatever you do, go to a professional, and don't take medical advice from strangers online.

depresion dah. i don't really know how to help you evan though i wish i could. I'm trully sory about the way you feel. oh i could mayby help u but i need to know your age nothing more nothing less..anless u want me to know more.

I think you really need to try to be more social. Get out of the house join some club or group or something that you can meet new people. Do something that you enjoy but try doing it with others rather then yourself. You're depressed. I suggest you sit down and have a serious conversation with your mother about your feelings. Be straight forward. Speak the truth. Let her know how you feel. You should get out of the house too though, meet new people through your two friends. Maybe it'll help you break out of your shell. Try to be more open about meeting new people too. Also, try to get psychiatric help (I'm not saying you're crazy, you need help from a professional). I think you need help before things get any worse because it may lead you into harming yourself.

You are suffering from attitude depression. You are too comfortable in your room alone. Get out to visit friends and plan outings with people you want to be with. If you can't find someone, get out alone to the park or something. This is a serious issue and you need to discuss it with an adult. Your mother is the best person. I hope she listens. If she doesn't then take other actions. There are many people who will help you get out of this canyon. Sorry about your dad and all. He should be there for you. I didn't have a dad either. We have two young sons. They keep busy with projects.
Good luck and feel welcome to write. Thanks

One cause can be being a genius. Take 3 minutes to read teen tips on this site and go to the site it suggests since we all really want to be happy. Right?

Well, I know this is weird but go to a therapist. I know it seems weird but my mom sent me to one because I had problems with my step mother. It really helped because they arent allowed to say anything and its so easy to spill your secrets out. I'm 15 now and I went when I was 13 it helped SO much. If its too hard to say you want a therapist.. go to a preist and talk to him. Im an atheist and I still go to confession sometimes just so that I can spill, and I know they wont say anything. Also, you need to try and break your habits.. or nothing will get any better. Give up your imaginary freinds they arent helping. Force yourself to be more social or you will just end up burrowing into your own mind and becoming insane. Make new friends. When you hang out with the friends you already have become friends with their friends. Also, I had a friend who had problems just like yours and she got on depression pills. Its really common and I think thats what you have. She feels so much better now. I think if you told your parents about this then I'm sure they would be happy to take you to the doctor. I'm sure everyone you know would be happy to see you spend more time with them :]
