Why do I feel this way?
-
I've been diagnosed with panic disorder, social phobia, and generalized anxiety disorder. It's been getting progressively worse and I recently switched from a psychologist to a psychiatrist. My anxiety is getting worse and I've been dissociating from myself majorly lately. Sometimes I forgot who I am, what I'm supposed to be doing, and sometimes I find myself staring in the mirror for hours wondering who that is in the reflection. I am not myself. Each day I feel as if I've lost a bigger chunk of me and it's not coming back to me any soon. I used to have great memory, almost photographic. But now that's completely gone. I have to make a great effort in school, but I still have higher grades. It just takes me hours to study for things when it used to take me a very little amount of time. I have trouble feeling emotion and having a personality. When people do talk to me, I'm very artificial. Very generic conversations and reactions, always. I've had periods where it's just so bad and I want to cry, but I'm physically unable to. It's ridiculous. I feel like I'm living my life trapped inside of myself and in a sense, that's exactly what I'm doing. I've been homebound before and it looks like I'm heading that way again, I never want to feel that way. I have another psychiatrist appointment soon to determine my treatment plan. I was going to go on a ssri that he recommended but my parents want me to try all the natural options first because of the side effects. Everything has a side effect, even the natural stuff. In my opinion, if the side effects cancel out with what I feel on a daily basis then it's an adequate option. I'm honestly done and I don't know how many more appointments and waiting periods I can take before I can't even function anymore. I need a change now because what I feel every day is indescribable. It's not pleasant. I can't do the everyday things that a person needs to do and people look down on me because I'm less. Even the teachers do, when we do group projects it's ridiculous. I can't just find a group. I'm just being lazy. I just don't want to do anything. If I didn't want to do anything I wouldn't have the highest grade in your class and I definitely wouldn't be showing up to school. I'm an easy target and I'm less than everyone else. Whats going on? What should I do? Should I try natural methods that can be just as bad as medication before trying medication?
