Someone please help me or tell me you've been here and came through this. I literally feel nothing like my old self. Don't think the same, have the same emotions, don't feel the same, have crazy thoughts, random thoughts. I really think I've lost myself for good. I do have a psychiatrist and a t that I talk to. But I don't think they get it when I tell them all of this. They say it's anxiety OCD and depression but I've had all that since I was 16, now I'm 22 and I'm in the age range for schizophrenia and I was so scared of that for the past two months and now I feel like I'm there. Idk why but im just not normal anymore. I just want my life back. It's got to the point where I don't care what I have. I just want it to happen, get better or get worse so it can be treated as soon as possible. I'm so tired of all of this I can't deal with it much anymore. I feel like I'm just hanging on by a thread and I'm just gonna snap. I hope someone has felt this before. Help!

I certainly did.

Do you get effective medications for it? I myself had anxiety, OCD and depression from age 12.. After trying some different meds, they found out I was bipolar. For the past 3 years I've had nothing but moodswings, but now that they've found the true diagnosis I'm finally getting the right help. I used to get antidepressants for depression + OCD, but they made me slightly manic (hypomania) and then worsened the depression afterwards..

Now, I sometimes felt like I lost my identity, especially when depressed, but I always regained it after being sick. I know there is hope for you.

Get as much help from books, medication and psychiatrists as you can, I'd say. Be careful to pick the right medicine.
