Hi I'm Michael, i'm 19 years old almost 20 in a few weeks.
This is my first post, i found this site on google and thought i'd post as i need some help.
Well firstly i'd like to say i have made an appointment with my GP which is for June 28 as he's on holiday. Basically i have suffered with depression before, attempted 2 overdoses and self harmed, thankfully i'm past that stage of my life and know that life is worth living. I love my life and my family and want a normal and healthy one.
I have had various symptoms the past few months that have gotten worse and quite honestly are scaring me. I suffer from anxiety, breath shortness, been very anti-social, shakiness, lack of motivation and i'm very self conscience of how i look and how others think of me.
I also have a stammer which makes this worse, i was always a very outgoing person, always happy and with friends and family and now i feel myself avoiding almost everyone. I can never think straight, also i do not abuse alcohol or take illegal drugs.
This has been scaring me for a while now and i just want to know that i'm alright, i've been very scared thinking i have a health problem. I can't even ask people general questions without feeling nervous or hazy, even in college i just finished my first year and have not made any friends, even at lunch time i sit alone and isolate myself from everyone and it's just very worrying. Also i tend to get sleepy very easily and sleep for very long periods, too long.
Please help me i just want my life back :-(
