Hi Morning. I'm not saying you're psychotic, yet if you're concerned, I would recommend you go to the hospital to be evaluated. There's nothing to be embarrassed about and there's something to be said for 'peace of mind'. Will you tell us more about why you think you might be psychotic?

I see. Well, it doesn't sound to me like you're going insane and usually psychotic people are out of touch with reality. For instance they have hallucinations or hear voices. Or, they have delusions. That doesn't sound like you either. There could be a number of reasons that you're feeling 'like you're dreaming, like you're not yourself, or like you're unreal. I hope this helps in some small way.

our minds are full of dreams and imaginations. it sounds like yours is in overdrive right now. i would try drinking milk, doing something ordinary like going for a walk, then reading a book, then taking a shower, then cliping your nails, then bed maybe or calling a friend or making a friend or the mix of busy and not busy until your mind slows down enough to where you arent afraid. i would much rather be depressed (what a drag) then afraid, then you can work on that which usually just means convincing yourself you are not a bad person or taking something for it like meds. hope you get better soon

Relax.. Ur not going insane this is jus a symptom. What i try to do when i feel anxiety is jus tell myself it is a symptom n it will go away jus as a cold would have u sneezing.. if u were going insane u wouldnt be this in touch with reality. Jus breathe and try to distract youself. watch your favorite tv show or play your favorite game with a friend. my friends are what help me the most. Best of Luck. :)
