Signs i have
1: Excessive fear or anxiety
I do have underlying, permanent anxiety. I do know what its about and im trying to help it
2: Emotional withdrawal
Corona Virus who
3: Changes in sleeping or eating habits
Ive never eaten well, but ive been eating a lot less lately.
And sleep. I regularly stay up until past midnight. I think once i move out of my parents house an stop having to conform to their schedule, ill be better about that; my problem is im way better at working during the night. 1 or 2 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon would be a better sleeping time for me but sadly i have to get up at 10: 00. And also, i wake up at like 9: 00, i just stay in bed until my parents make me get up.
4: Difficultly perceiving reality
Nope, thankfully. I have been having a hard time differentiating between reality and things that happened in dreams, but ive stopped having dreams altogether lately (at least that I remember)
5: Increasing inability to cope with daily problems
I think its slightly getting harder but ive always had a problem with motivation. And theres that low level anxiety and stress
6: A drop in overall performance
Everything but my animation work, which should be the hardest thing to do ironically. Otherwise i have all the symptoms youve talked about except for depersonalization. Ive also had brain fog on and off which makes a lot of things hard. And the difficulty with getting up is because i dont sleep,
7: Physical Symptoms
Fatigue, but thats most likely due to my sleep deprivation.
8: Unhealthy coping mechanisms
I dont have any that i can think of. My coping mechanisms arent wildly helpful but that make it a little better and arent unhealthy, except for the fact that they take up time i could use sleeping.
Anyways yeah hooray for my shitty mental health

this may be off topic, but I actually wanted someone who has the same things happening to answer if possible
So starting from the last summer I had been feeling so odd, it's like I didn't recognize the world and like it was a whole dream, nothing was real, I went to search it up on the internet and found a strange for me at that time term derealization but I didn't self diagnosed myself, of course, I just didn't decide to tell that to my parents and thought it was just due to some stress
Now, I hopefully don't have it, after having it for 1 year, however, other things started to happen
First, I noticed that I started hating changes, even when rudimentary nuances in my routine change I start to have a tough time really, even now, for instance, if something in our room is changed in the order I get so upset and want the same as it was before
I thought maybe it due to the fact that I want everything to be constant? like I also miss my past and it's probably on account of it

My self-harm almost never reaches the point of cutting--i don't recall ever intentionally giving myself a bloody nose, and only rarely do I even sustain bruises. That doesn't make it less disturbing. My family and friends don't often know how to react if something triggers me, because it's hard to imagine that I might actually injure myself, despite the fact that I have. My mom recently suggested that I look into getting back into counseling because I've gotten disturbingly open about punishing myself for no discernible reason. I agree and will talk to my doctor asap. Fortunately, I was able to schedule an appointment within two weeks. Why is self-care so difficult?

Lately Ive been feeling that something is going wrong with me. I dont get many hallucinations but I sometimes do such as I saw a volleyball flying at me today even though there was no volleyball, I have this weird feeling that I want to have a mental illness even though I know it isnt great to have one, I get distracted really easily especially during classes, I am extremely afraid of sleep paralysis, I also have difficulty talking to people I dont know because I feel like theyll judge me or theyre talking bad about me in their minds. These are some things that Ive been feeling lately, can someone help me out?

I want to tell you about about with my life.
I have autism(Aspergers) I live sometimes with my dad and sometimes with my caretaker but lately I have been getting upset with my caretaker and most of the time when I start to get frustrated with her after I start to say to myself. Dose she really understand me? Even though I know she understands about my condition. I have also been thinking if I have more then autism and I dont know how to tell my father that because I dont know how he would react so things have been a bit stressful.
I would like it if you could suggest a video for me.

I took a test on ADDitude and in the result they listed 9 conditions. I really want to consult to a professional but I'm just scared to actually ask my parents cause my physical health is also not good and I feel like if I tell them about my mental health they might just see me as problem and a huge weight on their back, we don't have that much of money and I don't know if we can afford to get me check out. And the fact that I can always relate to this kind of video, I really think some of the 9 conditions listed for me, I actually have or even all of it.

I know I need a therapist since last year but this year I was doing well but for the last months Ive been having some episodes, but this video made me realise that I really need a therapist at this moment because even tho it seems like what Im going through is not a big deal it definitely have something to do with my mental health.
Ive been having difficulty sleeping, I only sleep when the sunrise and I dont know why, Ive been avoiding eating and Ive been exhausted even tho Im not doing anything. I definitely need to see a professional

I am experiencing all of these symptoms from a very long time and it's more noticeable now. My grades have significantly dropped, I can't do the things I was good at any more. I have zero social life. I even get weird physical symptoms like headache, fatigue, vomiting all of a sudden. But I'm so scared to seek help. It's just very difficult for me, people thinks I'm overreacting or making this up when I talk about it. Specially this month has been the worse. Thankyou for this

I relate to all: . I was diagnosed with perception problems by a psychiatrist. I really don't know what that means. They said I can't collect all the clues to make a clear image for my mind. They also said my brain understands it, thats why I get horrible intrusive thoughts and depressive feelings. But they never told me what to do, so I'm just tryin to be physically healthy, maybe I see results lmao

Unfortunately, is the pandemic that cancelled our plans (concerts, parties and events, social life and so on ) The media are constantly scarying us. at the end of the story, we all have changed because of this hellish plague. we are just like prisoners without any guilt.

psych2go I realized I'm spiraling again into major depression. Irregular sleep/eating habits (laying longer in bed, eating less.
I sleep now regularly again and try to eat three times a day. Without your video, I wouldn't have spotted the signs.

I watch these videos and even if I identify with the signs I just end up invalidating my feelings, there's nothing scarier than thinking you might have something that could be a burden on others.
