Whats my problem? is there something inherently wrong with me?!
Question: Whats my problem.? is there something inherently wrong with me.?
My friends think im very fun-loving and hilarious. I am (not boasting), but only most of the times. I dont know, i think sometimes i crack jokes continually to cover my 'real' moodiness.
Last night, I was out in the city for the halloween parade, at christopher street. i did some crazy things, and my friends loved my company. But when i was going back to my place in hoboken, i felt really really down. I start feeling really really down after something really fun happens. Its a problem for me. I need highs 24/7. After i got back, i took out some cigarettes and starting smoking a lot.
My friends dont know about my smoking, and even though they're cool; they're not really cool about smoking. I sometimes feel they're not crazy enough. But my 'lows' are coming a lot faster than my 'highs' are coming, and sometimes i feel i get crazy to cover the lows in my life.
Im also religious, so i dont do booze or have pre-marital sex (although i did a lot of booze before). My friends dont do booze either, and that was also one of the reasons i became friends with them. I stopped taking drugs as soon as i started work here (i never really got into pot anyways, but tried it a few times).
I dont know, maybe i need a girlfriend, but iv had a couple of girlfriends before; and they wanted to do it with me. Unfortunately, i didnt. And it made me kinda an outsider.
im also 20, and working at this pharmaceutical company where everyone is about twice my age. Or late thirties. I work the whole day at the company, and take web-courses for college at night. So i dont get time to interact with kids my age, and that bothers me too.
Please anyone on Y/A, help me with this problem.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
This is a tough one. First of all there is nothing wrong with you! Your a normal kid trying to find his way, nothing wrong with that!! Second, I admire you're willingness to stand up for yourself and not drink or do drugs when you don't want to. You should never feel pressured to do anything you don't want to. Remember it's your life, you need to do what makes you happy and comfortable.
Sounds like you're doing well even though you feel down about it. You're working and getting an education! That's hard work, you should be proud of yourself!! As far as being with kids your own age think about getting involved in a club at school or in the community. That may sound kind of dorky, but I think you will find it will help. Find something that interests you. There will likely be kids your own age and you'll be doing something you like. It will keep your mind off things.
Most of all just remember that things get better. If not the next day, they will the next week. Even if something takes a month or year to get better that is such a short period of time in your life. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but it is and a few years from now you won't even remember being down or wondering what you should do. If you start getting too down, talk to someone though because you sound like an awesome kid and we need more awesome kids like you around!! Take care, everything will work itself out!
Some club/organization ideas:

http://www.thetorchprogram.org/
Volunteering at places like this and making a difference can make you feel good about yourself. Especially someone like you that could probably offer at-risk kids some advice.
Maybe try karate. I hear that's a great outlet and gives you lots of self-confidence. I found Hwang Karate of Bayonne in Hoboken.

You stated your problem: I start feeling really really down after something really fun happens. You are addicted to fun. Adrenaline (Epinephrine) addiction. You have a problem with your hormones, especially your adrenal glands. Get wild yam for that.Health Question & Answer
You could have a bi polar disorder which means when you are up it like your high but as the saying goes what goes up must come down and what you need is just a real friend not a girlfriendHealth Question & Answer
You say your religious then I am sure that you have heard that the enemy is working 24/7 to bring you down. There is nothing wrong with you. You just need to pray a little more and read the word of God. I am glad to hear that you have chosen not to have premarital sex. You are being obedient to God and if people can't respect that then that's there problem. Thank God for the friends that you have that don't approve of smoking. Try to hang out with them more often, they seem like good influences. Just know this that we may live in this world, but we are not of this world, so we won't fit in with worldly people. Remember that God has a plan for your life and he will allow us to go through things so that we can get to where we need to be. Stay strong and be of good courage. Focus!Health Question & Answer

I am not sure if I will be able to help you resolve this problem, but I can say that when I began reading this it reminded me of my own struggles. Everyone loves me, they all say I'm this hot girl with a fat guys personality. But I never feel good enough, and always feel pressure to perform. I also feel that no one is ever willing to push things as far as I would like. All my friends seem to have worries and concerns that dont make sense to me. I feel that no one in my life will let me truly live. I wish I could introduce new people into my life, but I worry that the characteristics I am looking for are only found in druggies.
I was raised mormon, but am currently looking into atheistic doctrine. I also am against premarital sex, but feel it may just be an issue of pride. So that one day I can tell my mormon family that I was able to hold out without their religion. It also stems from my low self esteem. I have never had a boyfriend, or even a first kiss. I would feel ashamed and guilty if someone touched me, I cant see someone being attracted to me. I'm 16 and in college, will also makes it difficult to meet men.
I think the solution lies somewhere in between achieving inner peace and always keeping ourselves intellectually stimulated. Hopefully this will give you something to think about..Health Question & Answer
