Hi Doctor,
I am writing everything down because I know my mind will just go blank when I see you. I feel down all the time and I hardly leave the house anymore. I never want to do anything and if I have to go out it is because people are pressuring me to, and I often cancel things because from the moment something is arranged, even fun normal things, I dread the days leading to it and the night before I just dread it and dread it so much, it is like I am being asked to shove pins in my eyes or something, then when the day comes I panic all morning and think what am I gonna do I cant possibly get out of this! I really have to go but I really dont want to but I really have to but I really really dont want to! so I have to force myself to go, but I am always so paranoid about the way I look, when I am walking down the street I feel so out of place, and everything seems so distant and foggy, probably because I have bad eye sight, but then again I wont go to the opticians. I feel like everyone is looking at me, or think I am dressed odd or I look weird compared to them. I havent even been to a dentist since I was a kid and having alot of problems with that too. I should have seen a doctor before now a long time ago but I have left it so long that now I am desperate.
I am letting everyone down but I just cant help myself anymore. I actually think I would be better off dead because my brain is so used to being this way I dont think I will ever feel normal again. I just wish I could get up and feel normal, get washed, dressed, go out and enjoy my day, but I just cant lead a normal life anymore, I feel physically unable to help myself achieve anything, I have such dreams and ambitions but am unable to do anything about it. even my writing isnt neat anymore, I feel like I have got a hole in my head.
I cant sleep at night, I lay tossing and turning, sometimes til gone half 4 in the morning, and I have to be up at 7 to get the kids ready for school, then my partner takes them as I cant go near the kids school its too crowded and seems very scary to me. I feel like a zombie in the morning from lack of sleep, and find it a huge task to just wake up.
just lately I have become abit obsessed with astrology too, I cant get through my day without reading my horoscopes as they always seem accurate and help me alot.
I always get feelings of dread, like someone has died, or something really bad is going to happen.
When Im in the bath, I feel paranoid that someone is watching me all the time, or spiders are gonna come out of the plughole and the cracks and just cant wait to get out. I think weird things like that all the time, I see pictures in my head of things happening and dont know whether its because I am phsychic or mad, its hard to explain but its like i see short films in my head. put it this way, nothing is normal to me anymore, and I absolutely hate crowds of people or meeting new people. I HATE people :( I just wish I could be alone in my own little world and never see another person again! I am rambling too much and I hope you have enough here to understand what might be wrong with me. Also I forgot to say my partner does all the shopping and stuff because of this dreading going out anywhere. I am stuck in a great big rut and dont know how to get out. I crave to be normal again.
9 months ago I had a strange awakening, where I wanted to be out everyday and I shot into action, took the kids to different places everyday and felt exhilirated. I thought I'd had a miracle cure. but it lasted about 9 days, then I fell back under again and havent felt normal since. I am glad I have wrote this letter as I would never have got all that out. I feel trapped in my own brain.
I hope you can help me xxx

Hello. I can understand all too well how anxiety gets in the way of wanting to achieve things in life. It feels like something keeps pulling you down so you can't stand on your own two feet. Shopping still scares me, because I feel pressured like people are watching me. I'm sorry to hear you get paranoid like someone is watching you when you're alone. Do you have any way to cope with these feelings? I hope your doctor has good advice, I'm sorry I don't have this experience, or I could help more.
