Im scared im losing control..pls help

Im 25 and for the past few years I've been in a bad spot. It seems like a dark cloud is always over my head..and I can't find peace. My head is always running with thoughts, I have this intense fear that seems its going to take me over, I worry about any and everything, my heart races, I'm depressed, I can't focus and so many more symptoms.
I was happy before and when I got hypothyroidism it seemed everything went down heel. Depression and then anxiety.
I'm see a psychiatrist in two weeks to get answers. But I'm so scared I'm going insane or developing schizophrenia. I question my every move and wonder if a sane person would do this or that. I find I talk to myself or rehearse conversations. Its so hard imagine living this way for ever. Has anyone gone through this? Any advice?

Go talk to your psychiatrist or your doctor or both. Whats important is that you take steps that are good for you, taking even the smallest of steps toward progress. Even if its a period of time just trying medications to see which one helps. I went through alot of antidepressants before I found one that worked. I guess what i'm saying is, when you don't really know what to do you can really only keep trying to find that something or that combination of medicine that works. You just have to talk about exactly whats happening, and they'll point you in some direction. even if you're "walking blindly", its better to have a general direction than no direction.

Hi, I can relate to a lot of what you are saying.  I wish I knew answers, but I am actually going through it now.  I guess just know you aren't alone.    I think you are sane, an insane person wouldn't be questioning these things, you might just be going through some anxiety.  Hang in there, we always find what we are looking for.....eventually.
