Do I need psychiatric help?
It is some months passed since I got left by the girl I loved. I was shattered, but now I want to be normal. I feel lots of anger over small things, I have a job too now, I will be joining it in November, and I feel something is not right with me. I just feel angry over how she treated me for all the right things I did over time.
No, I am not a saint, but I have not hurt people, and now, I feel better when I make someone feel miserable. I don't know why I do it, but I kind of feel satisfied when I make someone feel miserable. Also, I lie when I am asked about how I am, I am not all right, but I tell people I am all right.
I want to stop doing it. I know to stop it is by not doing it. But then, sometime I make someone feel miserable to an extent that I hate myself afterwards.
I want to trust people, but after being cheated twice by the same girl, I just can't. And then I want to be me, I was a guy who made everyone laugh, not make everyone miserable. I was the one with no care in the world, still I was responsible. Now I am not. I feel stress, I do meditation, but I need more help. Can someone tell do I need to a psychiatrist or can I manage it by myself? I feel like anger is brewing inside me and I just feel I am failing all time.
I have lost confidence in my abilities. For example, I used to ride my bike for 1000 klms at a stretch, and now, I feel frightened even if I am going with friends wondering what if this car would have bumped into me. I am not the person I was.
Someone please tell me what should I do, should I go and see a psychiatrist? Or can I manage it myself, or is it a common problem.
