No judgement here. Are you in therapy? It can really help, especially if accompanied with medication. You're way too young to be experiencing such pain.

Unfortunately no one is too young to be experiencing the pain they're in. We don't know their history and what they have gone through. I was 7 when I went through sexual abuse and started experiencing depression and anxiety in my young teens.... I am in my late 60's now and have dealt with both my entire adult life.

I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering. I have a suggestion for an action that may help. In his book "How to Know a Person," author David Brooks describes an exercise that may help you. Take a piece of paper and set a timer for 20 minutes. In those 20 minutes, write about your emotional experiences. Don't worry about sloppiness or punctuation; follow your mind wherever it takes you. After 20 minutes, throw the paper away. A day or two later. do the exercise again. You're likely to find unconscious thoughts come to the surface. As you continue the exercise over a period of days, your perspectives and self-awareness may increase. You may then be able to come to terms with your experiences, and, hopefully, begin to ease the pain that afflicts you. All the best.

I'm not suffering now . I had TMS a couple years ago and it is still working. I've been doing well for a while. I don't need to write anything down, etc. Don't need any books. Already went through much therapy
