my problem is that i think im tree different people ive heard if you think you are you cant be is this right?.... im thinking of getting help but dont want to waste time if im just being stupid and its just normal to be like this
person number 1
at home i dont say a word im really quiet cant even keep eye contact with my family or anyone that comes around to see my mum or stepdad, i stay up stairs in my room i only come down for drink and food, i can go days without talking to my mum which has made her think im super shy ive over heard my stepdad saying i must be gay i think of killing myself and day dream about the worst and sick ways i could die its like as soon as i enter the house my mind changes! i tend to talk to myself and sometimes forget im talking to myself and not a real person.
(about a year ago)
my mum saw me walking around the garden with my rifle and 2 knifes arging with myself a few weeks later i stood in a river up to my neck to think things over, back then i was taking a class drugs so i thought that was just normal i then stopped taking drink and drugs a person like me shouldnt drink...
person number 2
if im out with friends im loud,funny will do anything for them, people who first meet me tend not to know what to think... like if im drunk or really like this normally, i even go down town sometimes (not much) on my own and met new people and normally have a even better night out, im heart of the party! people can come to me when there low and i can cheer them up only if thay knew my problems maybe thay wouldnt want to know me? maybe even be shocked..
person number 3
at work im down in the dumps i hate my life im very low and dont really want to talk to anyone yet within a few secs i can go from this to loud and happy and making jokes of my work mates and say what i think without a care in the world,the people i work with say i cant be right im so unstable one thing to the next... pasing up and down like a animal
do i need help maybe i live inside my head to much and is why ive sat at home and writen this if someone asked me who i was i really wouldnt know ive just always thought im 3 different people if you asked 3 lots of people what i was thay would say 3 different things maybe ive wasted my time writing this and i should just go on? i dont think i can handle this kind of live style anymore, it would be better to die and come back as someone else

Check out these other IIN stories:
and 2 only exists with friends.
im guessing you dont like your family or job, but you do like to hangout with your friends.
so basically you are happy when you are with people you like, and unhappy with people you dont like.
sounds normal.
Also, the thing about your friends not wantin to know you if you have problems would definitely not be true if they're good friends, choose your oldest/ closest friends and confide in them how you feel and they won't reject you : )
but i wouldnt suggest the hospital! honestly they make it worse and so do group therepy type things. (being around other people with problems tends to rub off on you, plus making friends with suicidal people can cause lots of worries!)
it definitely is NOT normal, but i think it is better
to be rare and different without being depressed.
to me it sounds that you dislike being at home and like being out with people, and getting to know them.
So It doesn't sound normal but to me it doesnt sound that bad.
To other IT WILL cause u were talking a bit about suicide.
you should talk with someone that you think can advice you well, like a friend or uncle or someone that will have a long chat with you about your interest and stuff and then you can both choose if you need professional help or if its only something that will fade with time.
these multiple personalities of yours--it sounds like you may be bipolar. my brother is too, and he's been doing much better lately, ever since he's gotten treatment. i highly recommend for you to seek professional help. it worked very well for him, it may work for you. good luck
and if it makes yoiu feel anybetter i dont know who i am either... imfact i have a friend and she is like family to me... but she sais the longer she is getting to know me the bitchier i am... and when i meat new ppl i am a totally different person... the key is to stay in control...
