I'm going mad

That's just it...I'm going mad! It started off with slight stress but it's now taking over my life. I was on holiday a few weeks ago and I was supposed to relax and enjoy myself but I was thinking of stressful things even then. I just can't switch off from it! It's affecting my relationship with others too - I start getting really snappy at them all the time and even someone wrote to me: "I've never seen you smiling before so now that your exams are over, smile!" That just got me thinking: "am I really that bad that they've never seen me smile?"

I can't be "normal" at all. I have very strange things that I do (that no one else knows about) like I can't look at clocks without them getting me furstrated. Whenever I look at the clock specifically to know the time, I'm ok. It's just when I don't need to know the time that they drive me insane because I can't stop staring at the second hand going around/watching the digits changing on a digital clock. Also, the "tick tock" sound from a clock always sounds ultra loud and irritates me. The clocks are making me so agitated that I've removed them from sight in my room - I've turned them backwards so that I have to turn them around if I want to know the time.

Whenever I get angry, I feel like my head is gonna blow up so I have a sudden urge to cut. It's really hard to stop myself from cutting when I'm triggered, I'm constantly stressed/anxious/sad and it's affecting my life.

I need help. So I'm going to the GP. My problem is: I won't be able to reach a psych because they're ages away from where I live and I haven't passed my driving test yet. Does anyone reckon that my GP would perscribe some meds, like fluoxetine for the time being, until I pass my test so I can drive to the psychs'?



Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

I'm so sorry you're going through this hun, and I'm happy to hear you're going to your GP.

How is it you know there are no therepists in your area? There are circumstances (I'm not sure on all of them so I won't give you wrong information) that can mean your travel costs can be paid for (if you live in the UK.) I think it would be something you should talk to your GP about.
I think the same goes with the medecation, it depends on what your doctor thinks of your situation and what he/she thinks will help you most.

It's a great step to go to your GP about all this, you deserve support for what you're going through. I hope it goes well, let us know yeah?
*hugs*
Xxxxx
