What is this?

Hi,

I'm new here but have been lurking for a while.

I have been diagnosed with everything from SA to GAD from all the doctors... i've been to. Each one had a different iagnoses, so I lost faith in them and stopped going.I think this is for the best, I've learned more from researching all of this than from anything I've been told by doctors.

For years, i've found it very difficult to talk to or get along with people. I have occasional panic attacks and very high anxiety in social settings... For the past year I've started having really bad thoughts that just won't go away, there in my head a lot on top of that ^. Thoughts about hurting people and thoughts of paranoia of people potentially hurting/abandoning me among other things. These thoughts are driving me nuts.

I'm just starting to wonder if I do in fact have SA, GAD, OCD... and if each one is contributing to the other, like there all
feeding off each other. I don't know, what do you think?

I seem to always get it under control but lately, this past year, I'm having real trouble with it and feel like I'm wrecking
everything in my life, the main thing I'm destroying is my relationship and I can't stop it, I just keep thiking these thoughts and they won't go away.

Has anybody experienced anything like this?

Thanks,
Chloe

Yes. I know that you have lost your faith in doctors, but only a doctor can do a diagnostic. I didn't know or suspect I had symptoms of OCD until a professional told me. In the right hands and the appropriate treatment I am sure you will feel a lot better. It worked for me. I have also social phobia, I left and I have a hard time dealing with it. Professional help is almost essential, I think.
