Jesus christ OP, the last think you need to do is go to the doctor. He will put you on extremely powerful psychotropic meds that will ultimately make you more depressed and more anxious in the long run.
Yourdeepestshame don't be a douche and tell people with psychological problems to seek help from a predatory medical institution that's only intent is to keep people sick and dependent.
OP, you need to start exercising and do some reading about social interactions. Read a book about picking up women. When you see it all broken down for you and start to understand the game of interacting it won't be so paralyzing and you'll start doing experiments to see what works and what doesn't.
I wouldntbtotalky rule out meds but be very careful and do your own research before taking meds. Xanax types are a lot less addicting than antidepressants.
Doctor's don't always prescribe medication. Good doctors turn to medication as a last resort. I'm sorry that you had a negative experience, but many therapists provide help in lieu of medication, and in some severe cases, like schizophrenia, medication can be necessary in spite of debilitating side effects.
I understand that you had a horrible experience on meds that were probably too hastily and irresponsibly prescribed, but that doesn't mean that there aren't people who need both therapy and medication. For some people, medication mitigates the horrendous and crippling effects of their illness, and any side effects are worth it. For some, it's the lesser of two evils. I understand that people are misdiagnosed and given the wrong meds, which may have been what happened in your case, but that doesn't make psychiatric drugs inherently bad.
Saying that all medication and all doctors are evil is irresponsible advice. Some people need therapy, and some need meds. Advising people to be very cautious and do their own research; that I can understand; that would be good advice.
OP, don't listen to bucho's__butt's draconian advice; it's unhelpful and potentially quite harmful.
Professional treatment for psychiatric issues can be very efficient and helpful. There's a certain stigma associated with it, but don't worry, it's an irrational one.
You need to see a doctor.
Many of the drugs that they might put you on, like SSRIs, have relatively minor side effects (compared to other types of psychiatric medications).
Your problem is pretty severe, I don't think exercise or reading books will solve it.
This warrants a doctor's appointment.
Is it normal that I'm worried all the time?
