Fear Of People And Constant Shame

The Story

Hello, readers. I am an 18-year-old girl and I have a problem: I feel constant shame and insurmountable fear of people. Probably the reasons are in the environment in which I was raised - I was not a desired child, my mother abandoned me, which my father had a hard time. He always insulted me, which left a huge tram in me - I'm not just talking about epithets like "stupid", "reckless", but with far uglier words - p * cha, p * t * a, rag, etc. 18 years later I have no self-confidence - I can't talk to people, I don't look them in the eyes, I cry very often. I live with either my father or his parents - my grandfather has a mental problem, my grandmother is a very conservative woman and has attacked me. The result: I can't do anything. Really nothing. Even if I get excited about something and want to put effort into it, I hear the voice in my head repeating to me, that nothing will happen to me, I will become a laughing stock, I will not succeed, I will fail, everyone will make fun of me. At certain moments I also go crazy ... when I do something wrong, I start calling myself dumb, simple, a piece and hitting, biting, shaking my head ... People have seen me in such a state and asked me if I was crazy. .. I don't know anymore. I'm afraid to go talk to a specialist because I think I won't understand me and will consider the problem insignificant. I don't know how to tell a psychologist / psychiatrist / psychotherapist. And other things: I am torturing myself. I'm not just talking about causing physical pain. I close my eyes and imagine how they make fun of me, how I die in tragic circumstances ... scenarios in which I continue to be the victim. I'm afraid of people. I tremble when the phone rings because I'm afraid my father will shout at me. If someone reaches out to me, I'm terrified they want to hit me. My mind is restless, I am on thorns every day that I will say something wrong and offend someone - that's why I don't talk much and people think of me as a person without an opinion. Besides, I can't eat in front of people - I'm worried about chewing too much and slapping, which irritates them. I can't change in front of my classmates because I don't like my body. I can't even talk to them because I'm afraid of ridicule. I'm about to leave this environment if they accept me to study in another city. But I don't know if anything will be different. For 18 years I have lived in fear that I would make a mistake ... when I am at home, I am afraid that my father will shout or attack me. I'm just standing in the room and I can't find a place, I'm worried about breaking something, I'm not confusing something and I want to forget, that he was her next room. Even if I'm not with him, I feel his presence and I get chills. Granny keeps saying she's disappointed in me and I don't bring her happiness. The point is, I remind my mother, who won their contempt ... and I pay for her mistakes ... I don't know what to do. I think I'm going completely crazy, I'm talking to myself, I'm constantly imagining some things and I'm shaking ...
