Posted on Sat, 1 Mar 2014
Question: i have some mental problems. like i cant concentrate on things.unusual thoughts distracts me.and i cant avoid thoughts.if i avoid it gives me anxiousness and they come again.then ultimately i have to give them attention. other thing is i get worried by everything.any task comes that i have to do,i get worried no matter how simple it is to do.then worry brings anxiousness in me.and then my mind doesn't work.i cant apply logic in this situation.feels like there is a barrier between me and my mind.i am not able to use my mind and not even able to remember things.head feels heavy and hot. thats why i was not able to learn during my rigorous training and then i got in high depression.there are many other related things happen with me but this is affecting most my life specially professional life. other things- 1.i talk as least as possible since i am busy in my thoughts. 2.i like to live alone.don't call to family members and close friends.i talk only when its too much necessary. 3.i have a habit of doing things again and again.like if i saw something written while walking i have to read it many times.if i don't then i feel restless. 4.i do things the way i have been doing.i just cant do them in new way even if its easy. 5.eat just considering it a daily task. 6.postpone every task. 7.hard to come out of bed. 8.don't feel excitement for anything. 9. sometimes while talking to someone, i feel like need to get angry and i get angry to that person without any logical reason.i make my own wrong reasons to get angry and even i really start believing those reason and feel angry and get upset.and later realize that there was nothing to get angry. 10.i talk in monotones way.don't smile at jokes and just feel them inside that it was funny.and sometimes i start smiling for no reason.like once i was smiling when my cousins dead body was taken at home. so want to know what is the problem.
