I am a 15 year old girl and I have depression. I am also starting to show signs of a borderline personality disorder. But my big issue is my jealousy. I am jealous of everyone and everything. I hate it when other people are happy or have fun. I sometimes will even let myself suffer things just so that someone else won't be enjoying themselves. When I look up jealousy disorders online they all have to do with sexual relationships but I don't fit in that catergory. My jealousy has alot to do with things that other people have. Even if I have the same exact thing or something even better I still am angry at the fact that the other person has something. I feel as though no one should ever be happy but me. And if someone else is happy I get angry internally. I know it's horrible to feel this way but I can't stop myself. I'm so unhappy with my life and I know I need help. Has anyone ever seen a case like this or am I just crazy?

I think we all get a bit jealous at times. It's just in our nature. It's probably only certain people that you don't like to see happy. These are the people that you don't get on with very well. If you had people that you tuned in with much better you would probably love to see them happy.

It's really great that you have that much insight into your own problem and also know it goes against your better judgement.

I think it would help to explore your feelings and the distress you have with a therapist, but you also must be careful not to fall into the wrong hands, and that is not easy either, or always guaranteed not to happen? (like a school counselor, maybe, or a private therapist?)

Perhaps there is even a group here at PsychCentral that you feel comfortable checking out?

You are also suffering from Depression, and the way you feel may be caused by that ?

I really hope you can find help with this, I really do, as you have your whole life ahead of you.

Best,

Katrin

How do you know what you have? Do you see a therapist? Could you talk to them about what is going on?

I also like the idea about joining Psych Central's forums.

Best,

Clyde
