I'm really scared

[ManhattanR]

Hello I'm 18 years old and for months now I've been feeling the way I do I'm really scared I think I'm going crazy, I think I'm hearing things in not sure if I am I don't think I am but just the thought makes me extremely scared, the first time I've felt panic was when I was 16 and I handled it and I didn't have these same kind of symptoms this one is just extremely painful I feel like I'm going crazy, like when the tv is on I think I'm hearing things I'm terribly afraid that I might be hearing things I feel like my life is just going down hill I don't go anywhere i don't call any of my friends I'm just tired of feeling this way it's overwhelming and I have a two sister and if I hear so kind of sound I always ask her "does she hear it" she always say yes she do and for me to relax but I do t know I'm really scared that I might be going crazy help me please someone.  And if a commercial of a certain sickness come on like cancer or blood clots or schizophrenia comes on I think I have it and I go and check the web although I know I'm not supposed to I do anyways i get scared when my phone is not in my reach cause if I feel any thing I feel the need to search the web I just really tired of feel this

I echo anxiety860's advice, but add that you should seek counseling as soon as possible to get help with what you're coping with. You're exhibiting what I understand are classic symptoms of anxiety in an acute way. It's time to grab the bull by the horns so you don't have to keep struggling with this. Best wishes!

There are a few things you can do to help you right away.

See a doctor and tell them your concerns.

Don't search the web. You'd be surprised how much this will help you.

Start seeing your friends and family again! This will keep your mind busy, go out, have fun, go to the mall, see a movie, enjoy the holidays!

Think positive. Change your thought habits.
