I feel like im going insane, i need help

They're prepared for that! I almost wrote 'don't worry about it, ' but that's not realistic. So I'll say this: Do it anyways. Make that call - just doing that will give you some relief because it's one less thing to obsess over. Then take it one day at a time. One hour/minute at a time if you have to (that's where I am today, to be honest).

Theres just no hope for me i think. I feel like i cant function socially or at school anymore. Im just in this endless loop of not knowing whats wrong if anything, and when i come across a possible answer, i ask so many questions and get worried

You're in a downward spiral - that's really normal, trust me. So many of us have been there (show of hands?). I hit rock bottom in 2011. My entire life came apart. I needed serious help, and I got it. Since then, I have been growing and learning, and even though I still go through anxious episodes sometimes, I don't feel hopeless when I do. I know what to do with them and how to get through them. They don't ruin my life anymore. I even have realized that so many people around me are going through similar things (I guarantee your social circle and school are full of people with similar struggles).

Mental health is just like physical health - sometimes it's not great, and we need to get professional help. But it's normal, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. But please, take that first step and make an appointment.

But it feels like i cant do anything, i have no motivation, i cant concentrate, im anxious for no reason, im irritable, i cant socialise well, i do terribly academically. I just feel trapped, like there is no way out. All i do, is just sit around play games, deny mental effort, and fall into the loop of searching mental illnesses etc. My life is a living hell, i really want out

I suffer from GAD and these sound exactly like my thoughts. I’ve lived (not really) with this my entire life, now 50. I didn’t reach out for professional help until December of 2019. Since then I’ve been on Lexapro 10mg and seeing a therapist although not going to the therapist due to the pandemic. I know exactly what you mean when you say you hate this. I also used to think I was losing my mind , these are classic symptoms of GAD. The Lexapro has really helped me be able to slow those thoughts down and know that they’re unrealistic. I wish you nothing but the best.

Thank you, its nice to know. But it also really sucks that i cant help but think its something else. I know OCD and GAD can be together but i really dont know, it could just be GAD, i dont know

You’re right they do sometimes piggy back each other. That’s part of it we constantly try to attach it to something else. Usually I try to make it more than it is . I promise if you seek help you will get it. Go see your GP and tell them everything you are experiencing.

I totally understand, we are all here to look for reassurance and find people that have felt or feel like we do. It reassures us that we are not alone and that there is actually a way out...

You’re not going insane. Although it does seem like that especially if you have intrusive thoughts with it. You will be fine. Please go and see someone about it. Don’t let it go as far and long as I did. The sooner you get help the quicker you’ll be able to start living again. God Bless you and give you peace !!!!
