i need help

i feel so lost and my thoughts are everywhere my mind wont stop racing. i've barely been able to eat i feel so sick, it feels like a lot of effort for me to get up to even make something to eat. I feel worthless hopeless. Like a big nothing. I'm getting terrible anxiety , my wrists get cold, my stomach starts hurting, my negative thoughts wont stop. I think about suicide 24/7 and i dont want to think about it, is that normal? I try to tell some people who im close to how i feel , but they just blow it off like no big deal , everyone just says " your fine " or " don't worry about it" "it will go away" "your tough", that really pisses me off and makes it worse and makes me angry that no one is listening to my cry for help. Im up all night crying every night.I can't function I can't concentrate. I feel like I can't feel anything but pain. It hurts so bad and I need someone , I feel like I don't have anybody , and I feel like you don't want me home. I don't know what to do anymore.What do I do ? Who do I turn to ? Do I have to fight this a lone , because if I do I can't make it. My mom brushes it off , so does my grandma and anyone else I try to give little signs too. I know that I need help. I barely even know what I'm doing , my thinking is all messed up , my attitude and anger isn't me , I don't feel like me , I worry all the time my anxiety is getting worse . Please help me (even if its just talking or reassurance)

I read your email, and, I swear, I could've written it myself.  I am experiencing all the same things you are.  I feel like I'm going crazy most of the time and that I'm not really involved in the world.  I go to work, go home, talk to people on the phone, but none of it matters.  I worry about what I'm going to do when my dog dies - that I'll just be lost, and will have no reason to go on.   I know that's not right, and I know it's not realistic thinking, but why am I worrying about something that might not happen for 5 years?  I dwell on things that make me unhappy (lost love, lost finances, lost life) - WHY?  I thought I was the only one that felt this way...

I had this experience with my parents too with anxiety/OCD. They shouted at me and said I was crazy for worrying about these things and I was driving them mad, and said I have got too much time on my hands to come up with this stuff. And really minimised my problem. My boyfriend eventually told them that he was worried about me a lot and felt I needed help from a Dr. once they heard from another person that there was a concern, they took it more seriously, especially when my Dr prescribed me medication and told me to see a counsellor. It even took a few months after that for them to 'get it' but eventually they are getting it and are more patient. I know its because they didnt understand. But definitely see your Dr ASAP, and don't be embarrassed, they deal with this all the time - good luck and hope u feel better.

See your Doc. without delay. Only a professional, medically qualified person can really tell you what's what in your situation. Your anxiety needs treatment, but it's not incurable for sure. Anxiety can play all kinds of tricks with your mind. Seek help ~ today! The quicker you get help the quicker you'll get your life back. Good Luck!

Have you ever been in therapy? If not, I would highly recommend it.
I'm sorry your family is'nt listening to you. Have you thought about printing out information on depression and anxiety for them to read?
