    That sounds fairly normal for a young person who thinks a lot.

Does it? I do, in fact, think a lot - often running myself into vicious circles of self-hatred and self-pity. I'm sure it's not a good thing, even though I can barely resist it at times. It doesn't sound like a lot of people going through this, either - some rough times, like you have sometimes, but nothing as severely self-down-putting as what I've felt when I was writing the post.
