I think I'm insane.

[NatilieMoon]

Hallo. 

For the past 2 weeks, I think I may be slightly insane. I'm not really sure how to describe it. I don't have any diagnosed mental illness, (I'm too afraid to seek help in real life) But I think that I should at least figure out what is wrong with me.

I used to like talking to people; now the slightest thing that I think annoys me, or makes me uncomfortable, causes my brain to speed up; if you will. All these traumatic, sad, uncomfortable memories/thoughts race through my head- hundreds per second. 

I'm not really sure if this is a panic attack, because by mind seems to become way more alert of my surroundings, and what is going on.

I have a severe phobia of planes and dogs (I have a dog) too the point were I feel very distressed.

Whatever is happening affects me in many ways; my school work, communication, ability to reason.

If anyone knows anything, or can help, I'd strongly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi Natiliemoon,

sounds like a whole lot of not fun, do you find yourself doing things that you don't normally do? like gambling? drinking lots? reckless driving?

I find i get agitated like that, i tend to have to have music playing in my headphones to help relax me.

I would suggest to go and have a talk to your GP, if you have one, if you don't have a normal one you see then i suggest seeing a couple until you find one you are comfortable with, it is quite normal to have the fear about telling someone what is going on, i still dread it every now and then and all my DR's know all about me.

I think you have been quite brave to come here and post, and i think you will be surprised when you find or if you have a good GP how much understanding there is

hope this helps
