Am i going crazy??...... I dont know anymore!!!!!!!!

[FallenAngel]

i think im going crazy.

I know im suffering with depression, might possibly have anxiety disorder. And i thought i might have bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder.... since my behaviour matches and so many ppl have told me its likely.

But now, ive started hearing voices, becoming paranoid, irrational, i cant concentrate, etc..... i cant even explain it all...... im sooooo erratic right now... and i just cant calm down.... yet im so confused and down too!!

wots going on!! i dont know who i am anymore, and why am i hearing these voices.

Try to forget about these things because if you keep thinking about them it won't do you any good, your mind will constantly be thinking about things way too much and in the long run, yeah this will make you sad, upset, depressed, e.c.t. If you distract yourself things may and will get better, but if you sit around doing nothing and just think about what you feel.

The voices could be a sign of schizophrenia, but im no doctor so you would have to go and see one maybe, because they could tell you what is going on with you and your mindset. You may be hearing these voice because of something that has happened to you, or that you are thinking way too much about things.

i dont think you are :) i mean you may have some illnesses but that doesnt make you crazy in my book

[overcome.]

I don't believe you're going crazy. You're experiencing a tough time and everything's most likely coming to a head. I'm not a doctor nor is anybody here so we cannot diagnose you with regards to any of the illnesses you've listed. All anybody can do here is speculate. I'd say make an appointment to see a GP at your doctors surgery/health clinic.

Depression can get on top of a large number of people, I know that first hand. Your desire, your faith in getting better and your self motivation can become very low. It's a cycle that's hard to get out of. I know it's not much concellation but it's helped me in the past - look towards focusing on some positive aspects of your life that you enjoy or even just a single thing you enjoy doing. Even that little time every day can perhaps take your mind off of your problems for at least half hour or so.

Anxiety also, I know about. Especially the broad range of anxiety disorders that can affect us. Feelings of anxiety are normal, however when it starts severely affecting your life in different areas such as you social life, education, work life - then it needs to looked at.

Over all, I hope you feel better soon, I'd recommend seeing a doctor asap. Life is now, you won't feel like this forever, this will be an experience that will hopefully develop character for you and develop your understanding of other people with similar things going on. Stay strong and keep battling.

Ok thnx for the advice, and i hope i manage to see a doctor soon, its just so hard with the depression and anxiety... especially on a rly bad day when i can hardly get out of bed or leave the house =/

And ye i think tht might help, ive got a few gd things goin on at the moment so im gna concentrate on them. The thing is everytime i have something gd to look 4ward to, my dad or someone always tries to get me dwn, and stresses me out. My dad always does it, i'd have to tell you a lot of stuff thts happened so tht u culd rly understand how bad my dad is, hes the main reason why im so stressed a lot of the time. To be honest i dnt wna bore ya with it =/

Ye i need to sort out the anxiety... ive suffered frm a few mild panic attacks in the past, and dont wna have anymore attacks if i can prevent it from happening.
Hopefully i can see my doctor soon, i really need help as things keep gettin worse. :(
Thnx for your advice, it means a lot. If you ever wna tlk, u can always pm me.

Crazy takes slightly more than that for me :)

[overcome.]

The only bugging thing with the NHS is that it takes a while, I've only just seen someone (again - first session was last night) for anxiety problems, it's taken me like a few months, it took even longer like 18-20 months ago when I saw somebody for the first time. Hang in there though, I'm sure you can pick up self referral packs (they're quicker) and you can see someone within like 2 weeks.

I can see there's a lot there in terms of issues with your Dad, I'm sorry to hear that. Doesn't it suck when you're having a good day and you get some sort of negativity like a person or an event and it ruins things. When you deal with so much anxiety and also depression, particularly with anxiety you can be snappy I think - so things can change very quickly. At least that happens for me.

I know during dark days it's rough, and you don't always see the light at the end of the tunnel. For sure I can understand that since I've had many days like that, I still do sometimes. An inspirational line from a song sticks out to me; "When you're close to tears remember, some day it'll all be over. One day we're gonna get so high. Though it's darker than December, what's ahead is a different colour." Yeah, it's only from a song but I believe it to be very true.

Take care, and thanks, it means a lot also that I've helped you in some way. If you'd ever want to chat more in depth about it you can PM me whenever, I'm online a lot anyway so I'm probably quick to reply. Keep fighting :)

Ye thts very true... im hoping it wont take too long tho =/ Im glad ur seeing someone about ur anxiety, and i hope things are going well for u.

Ye thts very true. Im surrounded by stressful events, and negative ppl so much tht it rly affects my mood. Its like my level of happiness depends on how everyone around me is feeling on tht particular day =/
I hate it cos there are certain ppl who i see everyday and they are always stressing me out and are so negative about everything, like my brother for example =/
and ye thts the same for me too.

Ye those are very inspiring lyrics :)

To be honest ive had a few gd days recently but ive had a lot of really bad days =/I ve been depressed, self harming, smoking, drinking, and my anxiety has been quite bad.
Ive been to my new doctor about my depression and he has increased my medication... hoping it'll help =/

Thnx so much for the advice :) and ye i might pm you sometime.. thnx :)
same to you too, if u ever wna tlk about anythin then u can always pm me.
Take Care x
