It sounds silly but I’m not sure if I have anxiety or some sort of mental health

Hello my name is Amiee and this might sound silly to some

Basically for a few years I’ve had a constant fear of being lonely, I only had 2 friends for the past years and they never seemed to bother with me so I was always in my room alone. 

I’ve always been quite big in size and I got bullied at school and knocked my confidence down. When I went out I’d try to look good but as soon as I seen someone skinny I’d be down again. I have constant thoughts about my mum dying and the fear of being lonely again and always worrying about situations.

I’ve now got a boyfriend and when he goes out I feel jealous and I worry he’s going to meet someone better but I have no confidence to go out with him as I just think I look disgusting and everyone stares at me. I hate public and places where there’s loads of people it makes me feel anxious.

I have a short temper the littlest thing can switch me and make me go mardy and not want to speak to people and I worry it’s pushing my mum and boyfriend away. I’ll sit and cry myself to sleep or burst out crying because I feel crap and I’ve struggled to sleep good for about the last year. Some nights I won’t sleep as I’m constantly over thinking, I always assume by boyfriends found someone skinnier and better than me and I feel like I’m letting everyone down. 

Should I go to my GP and speak to them about this or try and overcome this myself?

Thankyou

    im not a doctor but you sound very depressed. you might want to visit your g.p and talk to him/her about your feelings. if depression is diagnosed you will be able to get help with it before it turns to something worse like anxiety. i hope you overcome this quickly.

      Thankyou for taking your time to reply, I’ve considered going to my doctor I’m just afraid they’ll think i sound stupid and I find it hard to open up because I just end up crying, but I’ll try as I hate feeling down and I just want to be my happy self again

      talking helps especially on here as many of us are feeling or have felt the same as your feeling. it does not matter if you cry to the doctor im sure they will understand. im sure you will feel more reassured after a visit with the doctor. try to relax in the meantime and never think low of yourself. im sure your boyfriend also loves you for who you are aswell.

    Hi Aimee. You really need someone you can talk to about your fears. A HS Counselor or a therapist. Nobody should have to live in a world of constant nervousness and fear, that really stinks.

    I wouldn't try to get prescribed any medication for anxiety or depression, because you are still pretty young. What I read is normal Teenage fears magnified by your lack of anyone to share them with. You really need someone you can let your hair down with and just chat. Too many of us spend too much time alone these days, it is not good for us.
