    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I think something in my brain is just broken. I cant socialize consistently, I cant handle loud noises, I cant go a week of classes without having a panic attack.

I get urges to knock on walls or tap things or other stuff or else it feels like something bad will happen, and if i dont do the thing then the urge continues till its all i can think about.

Im always contidricting myself in my head, part of me saying to do something, part of me liking something and the other part hating it (like textures or activites), or part of me feeling like its breaking down while i feel normal, like its just in the background. sometimes ill be breaking down and be in the background, but im still moving and acting normal even as internally im getting super bad flashbacks and trying to get myself to run and hide in a bathroom i just cant. the same feeling that does that id also ehat keeps me from not ending it. in the past after or directly before before an attempt ill back out and either have been prevented from doing it or be in the hospital because i called for help, and i wont remember doing it, or if i do, it feels like im watching someone else do it.

I keep getting really bad thoughts about things happening, like "what if i banged my head on that window till i pass out" "what if i cut someone's car breaks" "what if that kids being abused and i didnt notice" and it makes it impossible to be in public, especially when i get the feeling (idk if thats the right word) that everyone can hear my thoughts (even though i know people cant do that). Alot of things i know can be possible/are highly unlikely feel real sometimes. Sometimes i feel like my bones are rotting, or like their are worms burrowing under my skin, or that someones watching me through my window, or that hands and eyes will come out of my walls if i touch them on acident, and i know its not something that would happen, but it feels real enough that i doubt myself and freak out.

I know my brain chemicals are jacked up, but i dont know why im so broken everywhere else.

To me this sounds a lot like ocd and a few other things I'm more iffy on. I'd look into it via other people's stories and see if you can relate.

You cannot know why your brain chemistry is fucked up unless you have an official diagnosis. The question is: Is it fucked up bc of long term negative external circumstances or is it fucked up by genetics. You can only try to get an answer to this if you seek professional help.

I had this experience too. This is just a guess, but if you learn how to trust yourself (like maintaining yourself and your life etc,) it could turn out better eventually.

This sounds a lot like what I went through just before I developed clinical exhaustion. Look up "exhaustion disorder". Have you been unusually forgetful lately? Any physical symptoms such as racing heart, weakness, tiredness, dizzyness?
