Pure hatred, crippling sadness and dying hope

Sometimes I feel so angry and I hate everyone... Usually it's because someone is being excessively idiotic, selfish, egotistic or misunderstanding, and it just makes me feel like I want to hurt them for their idiocy and ignorance. Sometimes I feel that because I feel that way towards those people, I am acting just like them-therefore I often find myself catapulted into long hours of deep thought or in the throes of a roiling tantrum, screaming in rage and trying to hurt myself and destroy things around me or extreme depression because of our own logic. I am confused about why I act in such a way and other people simply shrug it off-I'm convinced I've got a brain disorder. I hate myself, and that must be the truest thing I had ever said. Sometimes I end up collapsed onto the floor, tears streaming down my face, feeling no emotion whatsoever, with an ever-present empty ache in my chest. I often have to resist the temptation of self-mutilation to vent my destructive emotions, and sometimes I am unable to resist. I beleive the rage and sadness are slowly wearing me away, and I will some day lash out and finally try to kill someone or myself. My adoptive father is an ex-alchoholic and drug addict and has anger issues, often ranting and screaming at me and my adoptive mother who works hard and tries to keep her and her children sane. I know she wants a divorce, but she and I both know she does not have enough money to buy or rent a house or apartment of her own. I have never met my biological parents, and I'm not sure if I want to, because they must have given me up for some reason, right? I often have the powerful urge to kill myself. I already go to therapy for my anger and sadness, but my counsellor never seems to understand, and sometimes I feel like I can't open up to her because she wouldn't understand my strange logic. I'm not even sure that my own thoughts make sense anymore. Every day my hatred towards mankind grows, and I feel like killing myself to get it all over with, but I know the grief it will cause to my family and friends, and because, of course, I do not know what will happen after I die. I also often ponder deep, strange thoughts-sometimes I feel as if I am the only person in this world, and everyone else is simply a mirage, parts of my thoughts that have become mutilated into my worst peeves, and I am living in my own personal Hell for something I did in a past life, or that the fact that we have a brain limits us to focusing on certain topics-can souls think on their own, or are they overpowered by their body's own brain, forced to think a certain way and trapped within the limits of your brain? Everyone seems so different compared to me. I sometimes believe that happiness is a disease, that the happier you are the more self confidence someone has, and that just makes you believe that you are right; so ultimately, happiness makes you stupid and ignorant-but sometimes I think that is nonsense. Am I going completely insane? Or, is

    You are suffering from dissillusion and boredom. Sorry to tell you that your over-analysis of reality seems to have carved multiple paths of neurotic loops in your mind to the point where they actually feed on each other.

    This is not permanent, but you seem to be in pretty deep so I'm going to give you a few tips.

    -Change your scenery. Save up a bit of money and get out of town. Just pick a place where there is demand for work and go. You can finish school anytime, but right now your universe is a choking rutt and your are feeding it's power over you like Golum and his precious ring. So go for a fresh start. You'll be to busy keeping a roof over your head and food in your belly to be skulking around looking for answers to questions that no living person today could ever hope to give a definitive answer too.

    -You are just as vain and pathetic as everyone else, but you seem like an interesting and smart person. Just rest assured that there are lots of people out there with whom you have enough likeness not to want to hurt them or yourself.

    -Oh yeah, if you smoke weed or do other illicit drugs, I'd recomend laying off for the simple reason that it doesn't seem to be helping.

    happiness = ignorance knowing=sadness... happiness>sadness..

    living with the knowing and accepting the happiness of others= peace
    within yourself
    others may be stupid but you cant really change the way someone thinks, you can try to enlighten them, but u are not fuking jesus. so life ur life find ppl u think are at ur level and just ignore the ignorant happy ppl.

    im happy im a bit crazy but... i was a smart ass trying to show everyone that what there doing is immoral and stupid...
    u know what just stfu and dont care too much

  • You're definately not going insane. Try some medication for your suicidal thoughts and anger. It should help a lot.

    try some meditation, and see if that helps with your anger, and other said emotions. I can understand what you mean by how everyone seems happy, and that they are all in their own world full of themselves, but you cant rely change that. you could help your adoptive mother with some of the little things, and try to ignore your adoptive father. I just hope that if you find some way to deal with all that your going through, is that you don't cause too much harm, and that if you find an escape through religion, just don't become one of the Jesus freaks. good luck with life.
