Okay so I feel like I am going crazy. I don't know if it's a mental illness or just some sort of depression. sad I'm always paranoid, having mood swings, having crazy/racing thoughts, and sometimes feeling empty/heartless. I also tend to become obsessed with things/people and can easily become addicted to things. I tried to brush it off at first but it's getting worse and I know it's not healthy. I think I need help. I also think I am hearing things/voices sometimes. :/

I would talk to a psychiatrist as soon as you can. You may have to be referred by a doctor, not sure about that. I see a psychiatrist and a psychologist. It sounds like you may need to be on some type of medication. Most everybody here is. So do call somebody and catch it early. It is easier to deal with that way.

I hope that you feel better soon. And welcome to the forum.

Hugs, Karen

Yes, by all means seek out some professional help of some kind. Talk to your family doctor, make an appointment with your local mental health clinic, call the psychiatric services department of your local hospital. It doesn't matter where you take that first step at....what matters is that you take it, and then just take it one step at a time.
