when I don't get what I want
I get angry at first and later get sad.
I know that sometimes you cant get what you want, but I just cant control my emotions.
It's like I know it by head but not my heart.

My parents are strict and I wasn't raised like 'princess,' getting everything I want, doing everything I want. I know I need to grow up, I, myself know it, but idk how to control this thing!!

Sometimes I get so frustrated not getting what I want, I get sad and think like, what's the whole point of life and hope that I can just die. I get in my bed and cry. It's like this deep anger and frustration are stuck inside my chest and idk how to take it out and I just feel helpless.

This is not the only thing

I worry constantly about everything. I don't think about it allll the time. I usually forget about it when I'm focused in something else,like being in school, but I keep having that feeling(?) of worrying even though I'm not thinking about it. It's like I worry constantly and dont know what I'm worried about.

Also I cant connect with people. I will be their friend and socialize, do what friends do, but then I cant get deep enough. I dont feel like I'm close to them. I dont expect it to be exactly like faimily but at least have some feelings for them. It's like I always leave some space between me and my friends. Ugh. Worst of all, I have very low self esteem and bad self image.

I want to get better but I feel helpless.
I dont even know what to do anymore.
Does anyone have same problem as me?

Honey, it sounds like anxiety (and maybe a little ADD) is running your life and wearing you out.

Can you talk to your parents about getting you an appt with a therapist who specializes in teens?

What you describe is really not so unusual and can be helped greatly when you reach out for professional guidance

I understand the feeling. Life is hard. I don't think real (good) help really exists in our day and age. But maybe some people will be lucky and will be able to get some anyways. So trying to get help won't hurt (at least).

I don't find that to be true. I knew a sociopath who could write like nobodies business and have every person hanging on his every word when spoken too. Some are very good at it.

I don't read 'poor mental health' as being mentally ill.

I suspect there is a physiological cause of emotional instability which could well be treatable, if not curable.
