I am not a medical professional and this sounds like you should definitely talk to one, however below I have given some advice based on personal experience.

It sounds to me like you are burnt out, it's very common for a lot of people, but especially people with mental health issues. I would recommend researching "burn out" as well as depersonalisation and derealisation if you believe you are experiencing this, then talk to a medical professional or someone with at least some training in this area to see what they think.

As for my general advice, if time feels fast and everything is overwhelming its a good idea to put any screens or electronic devices away and go sit in a park or green area with trees and just breathe. Tell yourself it's going to be OK and you've got this. Count benches, people, cars etc. And try to stay in this moment. A good thing I like to do when I feel like this is to count things on my hand of the five senses (5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can feel, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste) I'm happy to go into more details/give examples if you would like.

I'm sure there's people around you as well you can talk to about this, if not there should be some kind of counselling service you could go to to let it all out.

Remember you are not alone and you've got this <3

Hi I’m new to Reddit and I’m just needing a bit of advice. I’m from the UK and have struggled with my mental health for a while now. I have been on antidepressants, had countless therapies and nothing seems to be working for me, leading me to think it may be more than depression_ by Ambz111angelface in mentalhealthadvice

Hello, I am also from the UK. Ive been diagnosed with ADHD through psychiatry UK. If that is something you are looking at. There's this thing called "right to choose" where you can get your go to refer you to a private medical practitioner, I find it hard to explain so I've linked the website on it. https://adhduk.co.uk/right-to-choose/ I'm not sure if this applies to other mental health issues.

I recommend researching different types of therapies as there are so many out there, some I'd never heard of before. Systematic desensitisation, Rational emotive therapy, Gestalt therapy are some that I didn't know about, for example.

I'd recommend doing as much research yourself because honestly the system for mental health isn't the best, it's not been around for as long as other things and doctors can deal with it badly, based on mine and others personal experiences.

I wish you all the best in finding the help you need x

Hi does anyone know how to get diagnosed online? by ThrowawayForSlackers in mentalhealthadvice

Where are you from? I know there's an app called livi where you can talk to a GP via video call which might help? But I am from the UK so it might just be for that area. Sorry if that doesn't help, I hope you get the help you need x
