I think I have a mental disorder

Hi everyone. I keep feeling like I have a mental disorder. I am convinced that I have one. I grt intensive feelings of depression that last for a few hours. I get reqlly shakey and anxious sometimes with an adrenalin rush. I have fantasies of jumping out of windows and committing suicide. I also have fantasies of screaming and making a scene in public. Also I feel like I need to hug my friend really badly. I am also scared of being alone and feel like I am too close to friends and want to be really intimate with them and I get jealius of them. I feel really empty and confused too. Someone please help. Does anyone else feel like this? .

Hi. From what you write it's difficult for me to think what it could be, but if you have a disorder or not, it depends on how much it makes you feel uncomfortable and steals your time. Could you talk to a therapist about it? Hugs

Hello tesseract49: Sure... I think all of us here on PC can relate to some or all of the experiences you describe. I certainly can. But it would not be appropriate for us to try to diagnose what is going on with you. For that you need to see either a psychiatrist or therapist. And without knowing more specifically what you're dealing with, it's difficult to know what to suggest.

It sounds to me as though quite a bit of what you're experiencing may be related to anxiety. Some of the more common approaches to anxiety include: getting enough sleep, dietary changes, meditation, exercise, reducing or eliminating exposure to stress-producing events or activities. And then, of course, there are prescription medications. These require the services of a psychiatrist, of course. Have you tried any of these kinds of things?

I am rwally drunk rightonow. But I understand you. I want to hug you. I fwel so down. I am woma but people don't believe me. I want to hug you

I think it is best to see a professional now.

That's borderline in a paragraph.

Really? Do you think I am borderline. I have read about that before.

I also thought of borderline, but - we are not supposed to diagnose here, so I kept my mouth shut. But since the cat is out of the box, +1 from me.

I am not sure if I should see a doctor. In my experience doctors never help. They simply don't see what I see. They don't care either. If I had a physical problem they would certainly help but they are bot interested in mental health.

What makes you think a therapist or psychologist would not be interested in your mental health and want to help you? That's why they exist. I wouldn't go to a regular doctor.

Can any of you be my friends? I am really lonely. I need friends so much. I will pay you to be my friends even. I am nice.

You need to see a specialist. Not a dr. - there is not much that a dr. can do anyway, but a therapist. And, ideally, you should join a support group.

How do I see a specialist?

Do you have medical insurance or not? How old are you? Do you have transportation?

I am in the UK. We have the NHS.

I think you need a referral and a CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy, which would be a decent fit for you) is free, but you might need to wait in line. Ask your family physician for a referral and get in line as soon as possible.

Thank you . I feel a bit better now. You are nice.

keep us posted - call your dr on Monday and ask for a referral.

There's a clear dichotomy between an opinion and a diagnosis.

Indeed.

I guess it is up to the site administration to decide what exactly is meant in their imploring us not to attempt to dx.
