Do mentally ill people know they are mentally ill? /u/KeyAcanthocephala747 No such thing as stupid questions

I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, but I feel like I might have some kind of disorder. I 19F, fixate on small things and can’t stop obsessing over my weight—it’s constantly on my mind even though I’m literally underweight. I also struggle to empathize with people, and every conversation I have feels fake, like I’m pretending to be someone I’m not. I also judge people a lot and say mean comments about others in my head (for example I hate fat people) and I’m lowkey sometimes racist but I really don’t know how to get rid of these thoughts. I have hid this for a really long time but recently people around me are starting to notice my behaviour and I don’t want people to think I’m weird. I don’t want to say I’m a bad person, but sometimes I’m scared I am. I’m curious—do people with mental illnesses often question themselves like this?”
