Does anyone know the disorder when...?!


Question: Does anyone know the disorder when!.!.!.!?
1!. someone thinks/studies things too much 2/ gets the feeling they're gonna go crazy 3/ HUGE fear of being alone ESPECIALLY in a sealed or enclosed area eg elevators (i even used to get nightmares about being buried alive) 4!. feeling a sense of unreality or even detached from oneself at times 5!. usually focused on one thing and wld tend to block out the world altho not intentionally 6!. worse part is when they go away, as long as i think about them again they start all over (which is why the desire arised to have family/friends close to keep my mind occupied)!.

I believe this cld even be 2 disorders!. Any help appreciated!. Thanks!.

ps!. small country, shrinks arent in abundance and they are hardly ever in as ppl dont spend a bunch on mental health!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
OK, you're mentioning symptoms that could be from a lot of different disorders or could be normal (it sort of depends on how severe they are and how much they interfere with your life)!. But the big common denominator is anxiety!. I'd think some kind of anxiety disorder!.

But offhand - Google these to see if they match what you're experiencing:!.

Fear of being alone - could be panic disorder, claustrophobia!.

Focusing on one thing - could be the obsessions/intrusive thoughts of obsessive compulsive disorder!. If you're always worried about lots of different things, could be generalized anxiety disorder!.

Feeling like you're going crazy - panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or any anxiety state!.

Sense of unreality - that can come from any anxiety disorder!. It's called "dissociation" or "derealization!."

Borderline personality disorder can have the symptoms of dissociation and fear of abandonment!. But it's got a lot of other symptoms which you aren't mentioning, so I doubt that's what you have!. You sound much more like an anxiety disorder!.

Edit, just thinking about it, if I were to lay odds it would be obsessive compulsive disorder!. That's the one thing that really links the hyperfocus on a thought, trying to stop those thoughts, with all the anxiety symptoms!. That is, it sounds like you're having obsessions which cause you tremendous anxiety, and you're trying to find ways to stop those obsessions (being around people to distract you), and the other symptoms are effects of the anxiety!. That's classic OCD!. But it sort of depends on the details!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

1,5,6 - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
2 - Panic Attacks
3 - Claustrophobia
4 - Disassociation/ Depersonalization can be with a lot of things, including anxiety!.

In short, all of these things are anxiety related!. Do you take any prescription drugs !? Illegal Drugs !? Under any significant amount of stress !?Www@Answer-Health@Com

claustrophobia, perhaps, when it comes to the fear of small spaces


some sort of anxiety disorder!? you should probably try and find a shrink!. maybe drive to the next county or something!. this seems like it is affecting your life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
