I can understand that you have been struggling with confusing thoughts and emotional distress for a long time, and it must feel very overwhelming to carry all of this alone. From what you have shared, it seems that since your teenage years you have been experiencing overthinking, self-doubt, emotional confusion, and difficulty understanding yourself and your feelings clearly.
You also seem to feel different from others at times, which may be making you feel isolated, disconnected, and emotionally exhausted. Because of these ongoing thoughts and emotions, your confidence, focus, motivation, and ability to study or manage daily activities appear to be getting affected.
Right now, it is important to remember that struggling emotionally does not mean you are weak or incapable. Sometimes, when a person goes through prolonged emotional stress or confusion, it can affect the way they think, feel, and see themselves.
I would strongly suggest seeking support from a trained counsellor or mental health professional who can help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, personality patterns, and underlying concerns in a safe and supportive environment. Evidence-based therapies can help you gradually build self-understanding, emotional clarity, confidence, and healthier coping strategies.
Please try not to isolate yourself completely. Stay connected with trusted people around you, maintain a simple routine, and practice relaxation or mindfulness exercises whenever possible. Most importantly, remember that your feelings are valid, and support is available.
Best regards,

Hi
What you’re describing sounds less like something is wrong with who you are and more like your mind has been stuck in a long phase of detachment and overthinking, similar to Derealization Disorder. When this continues for years, it starts affecting identity, focus, and even the sense of time. It can make you feel empty or lost, but it doesn’t mean you have no talent or purpose, it means your mind is overloaded and disconnected.
Right now don’t try to figure out your whole life. Focus on basic structure, sit with studies for even 10 minutes, take a break, and repeat. Don’t wait to feel normal first. Also get basic physical tests like thyroid checked once. Most importantly, don’t handle this alone anymore, this needs proper guidance and it is treatable.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing this. What you’re describing sounds like a mix of overthinking, identity confusion, and possible derealization, which can feel very distressing and affect focus, studies, and daily functioning. These experiences are often linked to prolonged stress and anxiety, and the more we try to analyse or “fix” them, the more intense they can feel. The important thing to know is that this is treatable with the right support.
Next Steps
Recommendation: I would suggest starting with a detailed psychological consultation. We can work on grounding techniques, reducing overthinking, and building clarity and stability step by step. You can connect with me for a session. I can help you understand and manage this effectively.
