I've starting taking street xanax because my brain feels on fire and I'm constantly feeling like I'm ab to black out. The thing is I have this fear I'm going psychotic because this type of stress isn't normal like test anxiety or maybe social anxiety. This feeling is making me suicidal. I just want to not feel this way. I'm not hallucinating but the world feels so ****ing weird. I use to smoke weed and I've taken acid about 3 times. I feel like I'm having a bad trip/panic attack on weed 24/7! it's insane but telling someone is even more scary, because when I use to get bad trips it was the fear of people knowing that drove me insane and made me crazy. I'm going to the doctors office tomorrow but what do I tell them? like hey doc, I'm really stressed? (the thing is I'm not just stressed I feel like I'm living in a waking nightmare) I want to be able to explain it so I don't ****ing do some crazy ****. I feel like I'm developing schizophrenia since I'm right at the age of the development for that (I'm an 18 year old male). Also my uncle and great uncle had schizophrenia. Also I'm not feeling my self lately, I don't go out, I don't play piano and I can barely talk to people because I'm constantly on the verge of a mental breakdown. Everything I use to like to do is so dumb because the world doesn't feel real. Please if you are responding do not indicate I might be developing psychosis because it will trigger me. I feel so scared, just I need help on my next steps because I can't tell my parents but I'm on their insurance. Personally, I want to do something drastic like like maybe outpatient? but my parents would flip then I'd get suicidal and panic. I need it to be lowkey I guess. Just need some tips and help. Also if it's in the wrong forum could you point me somewhere else. Thanks.
I'm sorry for how you are feeling and what you are experiencing.I'm even more sorry that you feel like you can't talk to your parents about it and receive help and support from them.What are the reasons they would flip if if you did something outpatient,is it about the cost or just the fact you are struggling mentally?

Derealization and depersonalization can feel very scary and I understand why you compare it to a bad weed trip or mention acid because that's how it can feel at times.

When you see the doctor,just be honest about how you're feeling and experiencing and go from there.It won't be the first time they've heard something like that.Also tell them about the xanax,they've heard things like that before too,and it will help the doctor understand how badly you are feeling that you have resorted to that.

Good luck with all of this and I hope you feel better soon.
