A 20-year-old girl often suffers from inexplicable chest pain and tears uncontrollably? Loses interest in things? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Since junior high, my emotions have often been low, sensitive, and I dislike socializing with others. Later on, I became increasingly afraid of socializing. Every so often, I would burst into tears for no apparent reason, with the tears flowing uncontrollably, and I wouldn't want to do anything. I often daydream and cry. In college, I prefer to cry alone, as if it's an outlet. Am I suffering from depression?

Hello, host, I empathize with you. Perhaps you could consider giving the host a hug?

People who are sensitive may find it more challenging to navigate life's challenges. They often worry about how others perceive them and fear being hated or despised. These fears can be deeply hidden within the body of a sensitive person, making them difficult to heal. As humans are social animals, we need to interact and communicate with others to feel connected and supported. Everyone longs to be loved and cared for, and this is a genuine psychological need, especially for sensitive individuals.

It's clear that these persistent low moods have had a negative effect on you. It's even a bit of a vicious circle. It's understandable that you've drifted further and further away from people, and that you've become more and more socially withdrawn.

It would be beneficial for you to consider re-integrating into the group, even if it's just one or two more friends. It will likely be of great help to you. In fact, there is no need to feel pressured. Showing a friendly smile when you meet face-to-face is an important way to get closer. If the other person doesn't pay you any attention, then you can exclude them from your friend list. If the other person also returns a sincere smile, that will be a good sign.

In your daily life, you might consider helping others more often to make more friends. Many people have said that someone who often helps others will always be helped when they are in trouble. You might also try helping others without expecting anything in return, as this can also be a way to increase other people's goodwill towards you. Every relationship needs to be nurtured, and if you do a good job, they will also give you positive feedback.

Hello, girl. I see you're confused. I hug you!

You're having emotional problems. I give you a hug.

Did something happen in junior high?

For example, parents getting divorced, a close relative dying, or a pet dying.

Don't call it depression.

Go to the hospital for a check-up.

You need to see a specialist at a Grade III A hospital, like the psychiatric outpatient department, to get diagnosed.

You haven't liked socializing since junior high. You might have had a bad experience.

You socialized in junior high but had a bad experience.

You've been reluctant to socialize since then.

If you don't socialize, you won't be hurt.

That's your body's way of defending itself.

I think you should go to the hospital.

The doctor can prescribe medicine if needed.

Depression is not the end of the world.

Follow the doctor's advice, take your medicine, and go to counseling. You'll get better.

If you want to cry, do it.

It's normal for college students to cry to vent. All emotions are natural.

I hope you find a solution soon.

That's all for now.

I hope my answers help and inspire you. I am the answer, and I study hard every day.

Yixinli loves you! Best wishes!

If you think you might be depressed, it's a good idea to go to the hospital for a diagnosis. Depression is becoming more common in today's society. You're still young, and it's a great opportunity to enjoy life and learn new things at this stage.

Right now, you might be experiencing some worrying symptoms like heartache, constant tears, lack of interest, depression, sensitivity, fear of socializing, and daydreaming. It's understandable why you're feeling this way.

Maybe you've been through some tough situations or experienced some traumas that have caused you pain. If you've identified what's causing you to feel sad, you can record it in a diary.

If you've been struggling with loneliness and depression for over a month, it's time to seek help. A hospital can provide the necessary diagnosis and treatment.

Let's get you on the right track with some medication and psychological counseling. As your dedicated heart coach, I suggest you take a comprehensive mental health and family history test to understand your current state of mind and what kind of screening you might need.

If the results aren't what you hoped, it's a good idea to talk to your parents, friends, and university counselors about them. You might also want to get more tests done at the hospital so you can make the right changes. You deserve a happy, healthy life, and we can all benefit from regular exercise.

Hello! I'm sending you a warm hug from afar.

Your description clearly indicates that you are experiencing a depressive mood.

Any kind of emotion or behavior pattern persists because the person involved satisfies a certain inner need through this emotional state or behavior pattern. In other words, an inappropriate emotional state is meaningful to the person involved, but these benefits are subconscious needs, so they are difficult to detect. What the person involved pays more attention to is often the distress, trouble, and difficulty in adapting caused by the emotional state.

It's time to accept and allow yourself to have these persistent and low-spirited emotional experiences and feelings. You need to be aware that these depressive emotions satisfy those needs within yourself, such as being cared for, being noticed, being comforted, being accompanied, being listened to, and avoiding the hurt of being rejected because you are not good enough.

What do you think?

This stems from an internal inferiority, lack of confidence, and lack of acceptance of yourself. You must accept yourself from the inside out, overcome inferiority, and cultivate self-confidence to alleviate your current depressed mood. It is challenging and difficult, but you can do it.

Keep an emotional diary to record your emotional feelings. This is the safest way for you to express and release your emotions.

Be aware of the happy days you felt before junior high school and what you did. Do this part today.

Start with something you love and are interested in. Don't set high expectations for yourself. Don't set high goals for yourself and define and evaluate yourself based on whether you achieve them or not. Just do what you love every day. Develop good habits, such as going to bed early and getting up early, doing some outdoor exercise every day, listening to some soothing music, reading your favorite books or watching your favorite movies and TV dramas. Try to keep a gratitude diary and record the progress and good things you did today compared to yesterday. You can also try the mirror exercise. Stand in front of the mirror every morning, smile, and tell yourself, "You are the best today, come on!"

Choose the method that suits you best and try these exercises. You will gain a confident self.

I am Lily, the little Q&A Pavilion listener. I love the world, and I love you.

Hello. I can see that you are troubled, and I am here to help.

If you often feel down and sensitive, don't like socializing, cry for no reason every now and then, often feel lost, cry a lot, and even suspect that you have depression, we can adjust slowly together.

First, stop forcing yourself. Accept that you're different from others and that they're different from you. Learn to coexist peacefully with others by accepting them for who they are. For example, greet a familiar classmate with concern or start a gratitude journal. This will make you less likely to have high expectations and reduce feelings of being hurt. You'll feel a lot better.

Second, set your own goals. Prolonged emotional depression has many causes. If you indulge in it and repeatedly amplify it, you will hinder your continued progress. Take control. Start from this moment, plan your future carefully, set new goals for yourself, and use purposeful actions to increase your sense of control and strength in your studies and interpersonal relationships. Rebuild your confidence with positive experiences.

Third, find more modes of happiness. You can experience modes that make you happier through ways that require concentration, such as sports, writing, reading, handicrafts, etc. In this process, you will release stress and stabilize your emotions, and you will also make friends with similar interests. Your energy will be enhanced to a certain extent.

Take the initiative. It's an important step to get out of the rut.

I wish you a rewarding day.

Madison Cooper Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.

I've been feeling low and super sensitive since junior high, avoiding people more and more. Lately, I just cry a lot, for no reason, and it's hard to stop. It feels like all I do is daydream and cry. In college, crying alone has become my escape. Does this sound like depression to you?

Clayton Miller Forgiveness is a way to show that we believe in the power of change.

Feeling down and overly sensitive since my early teens, I struggle with social interactions now. Crying episodes happen out of nowhere, and they're intense. College life hasn't helped; I find myself crying alone frequently. Is this how depression manifests?

Percy Davis Use your time wisely, for it is a finite resource.

Since middle school, I've noticed a pattern of low mood and sensitivity in me. Socializing scares me now, and I have these uncontrollable crying spells. In college, I often resort to crying by myself. Could this be a sign of depression?

Rebecca Crown Time is a tapestry of choices, each stitch a decision.

From junior high until now, my emotions have felt heavy, and I've grown fearful of social situations. There are times when tears just come without warning, and I can't seem to manage them. Alone in college, I tend to cry as if it's the only release I have. Am I dealing with depression?

Whitney Bloom Time is a carousel of friendships, some lasting, some fleeting.

Ever since junior high, I've had a hard time with my emotions, feeling very sensitive and not liking to socialize. These days, I experience sudden bouts of crying that I can't control, and I often feel like doing nothing but daydreaming and crying. Now in college, I find crying alone is almost comforting. Is this depression?
