    Hi, ever since I can remeber, I've been feeling "down". Im male in my early 20s.
    I dont have any obvious problems, but I seem to never be genuinly happy. I have always been seen as the "strong one" in my group of mates...the person people confide in and ask advice. My current girlfriend had problems and I was always there for her to listen, offer advice and be a shoulder.
    I have always kept my feeling bottled up. I dont think anyone really cares enough to listen oe take any interest. I put on a confident air and am strong almost all the time. But when I'm alone here, the feelings of worthllessness and guilt just come flooding in.
    I dont believe anyone loves me as much as I love my friends and girlfriend. I am always there for them, but seem not to get it in return. I am extremely intuitive and can tell when somethin is one someones mind. I have an uncanny ability to read people-my girlfriend genuinly thinks im psychic!
    I dont know if i need help, but although I have friends and a lovely girlfriend, i feel very alone. And i dont know what to do about it. My parents are great too, but not the sort i could talk with about this. I cant put a finger on why i feel like this...
    I always think of the worst things that could possibly happen...like my mates leaving me or my girfriend cheating on me and how I would deal with it. Its almost like I spend so much time on the negative things that COULD happen as opposed to the positive things that DO happen. But thats only part of the problem.
    I feel bad for feeling bad. Ive got it good-doing well in my course, talented, clever, good with people, trustworthy etc.
    I would like to get assessed to see if I do have some form of depression, but want to keep it secret. If anyone knew I would be gutted and ashamed.
    It almost feels like I have taken everyone elses problems and put them with my own and feel like im going to burst. My gfs especially-she had some issues and we worked through them,but it took a toll on me. I worked hard with her, but I doubt she's do the same. I dont know this for sure, but that is my mindset...im fiercly independent and dont open up...just dont know how to get over this.
    sorry for the long post, feel better getting it off my chest....
    Please help
