How to know if I need help
I have felt for years that i was different from other kids my age. My outburts, habit of daydreaming excessively, having morbid urges to harm myself and experiencing bouts of sadness. I always knew i didn't fit in. And hence i started isolating myself. I have took various online screening tests for finding out if there is actually a problem or is it just my imagination. Even though i got some concerning results, i still don't know for sure if I should seek help. Also If I do need help, then who should i go to ? A psychiatrist, therapist or life coach ?? I really wanna be like normal kids my age but I don't know what i should do to achieve that. Please help me with this.

I am an online counselor and can help you through counselling. Only after having a discussion it is possible to help you manage your thoughts in the right way. Maybe it’s not at all any problem but just the low self esteem. Do connect with me for help and guidance. Take care.

I'm sorry to hear that... I can imagine how confusing, hurtful and emotionally overwhelming things must have been for. To feel different, away from the norm can make us doubt and isolate ourself even more, makes us feel we don't belong.
As you shared you have been feeling this way since your childhood it can be personality based or it may not be only further evaluation by a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist can help you with a diagnosis. However, there are certain incidents that influences us and shapes our personality the way we see it.
Sometimes we can feel "do I need help or can I be helped? Is there a way out?". I assure you there is help also we can grow our own food, but we do take the help of farmers while we can focus on other tasks. Same here it's not about do I need or can I handle them myself, it's about help is available so why not?
Next Steps
I would encourage you to connect with a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist, preferably in a face to face setting.
