What mental illness does this sound like to you?

[Anonymous]

*Very reclusive (spends 90% of their time completely alone).
*Has been depressed for 3-4 years.
*Doesn't have any friends, and doesn't care to make them.
*Continuously gets vivid flashbacks to their childhood, even of memories they've forgotten.
*Hates hearing loud noises, as it reminds them of domestic violence. Sometimes they get angry, and sometimes they cry and cover their ears. Most times, though, they show absolutely no emotion (and feels no emotions).
*Constant feeling of numbness.
*Enjoys the feeling of cutting.
*Often expressionless on the outside (stares at teachers instead of responding to their direct question).
*Difficulty remembering basic things and concentrating on simple tasks. They know what needs to be done but doesn't do it.

I'll update this is I can think of any others. Thanks for your responses. :)

*When hearing of an 11 year-old who died in a car crash two days ago, they had no emotional reaction to it, even though they know her older sister.
*They dream of death and wish to see what happens when we die.
*Last year, they told a counselor they thought they might be schizophrenic (they heard voices), but it was just from stress.
*The thought of bleeding to death doesn't seem so scary anymore.

by the way, the thing about the domestic violence was a traumatic experience.

I think these would fall under Depression:
*Very reclusive (spends 90% of their time completely alone).
*Has been depressed for 3-4 years.
*Doesn't have any friends, and doesn't care to make them.
*Constant feeling of numbness.
*Enjoys the feeling of cutting.
*Often expressionless on the outside (stares at teachers instead of responding to their direct question).
*Difficulty remembering basic things and concentrating on simple tasks. They know what needs to be done but doesn't do it.

While these would fall under PTSD:
*Continuously gets vivid flashbacks to their childhood, even of memories they've forgotten.
*Hates hearing loud noises, as it reminds them of domestic violence. Sometimes they get angry, and sometimes they cry and cover their ears. Most times, though, they show absolutely no emotion (and feels no emotions).
The last line sounds like it could be stemming from their Depression.

Since they've been through domestic violence I definitely think they could have PTSD.
What I read from your update, it really sounds like severe depression that has been going on for quite a long time.
Stress and Depression can also cause people to have hallucinations, especially visually or auditory so I think this is normal for someone going through a rough time like this.

The flashbacks sound like PTSD and seeing as they've been suffering depression, obviously depression. It's important to go see a doctor though as no one on this site can give a real diagnosis.

There are no particular signs of any mental illness other than depression. I see no obvious signs of a personality disorder or of bipolar or similar. He is experiencing and expressing emotions, he is functioning within a normal range for someone with depression. His depression clearly seems to be based on emotional trauma. He would most likely benefit from a combination of medication and therapy.

It's sounds like depression.
I know the mental illnesses.

Depression/PTSD maybe. Don't self diagnose though if this is about you. Go see a doctor.

I know these problems; depression and PTSD:(

I want to believe that it's PTSD, but I don't have a good reason to have it. My sister got PTSD because she was molested by my father, but I didn't go through anything like that. I'm also not a man that's been to war. The worse thing to happen to me was to witness my mother being abused, but I feel like that isn't enough for someone to get PTSD.

[peachblossomluck]

I used to have nightmares and flashbacks of my mother being abused. Maybe you blocked something out?

[Asker]

If I did, it wasn't intentional. There are a lot of gaps in my memory. I do clearly remember the violence, though. That was bad, and he threatened to kill my family several times (even threatened to hurt me once), but it still doesn't seem like a good reason to have PTSD.

The flashbacks I get are mainly random ones, and not particularly bad ones either. For example, the other day my teacher grabbed a towel and tried to fling it to hit a water bottle, and that gave me a vivid image of my father playfully hitting my sister and I. It is the little things from my childhood that gives me flashbacks. And as far as nightmares go, I used to get a LOT of them about things trying to kill me, but they never scared me so I don't call them "nightmares."

I'm just rambling...

Feel free to talk about it if it helps you.
