'dream-like' state

The past few days I've felt like I've been in a 'dream-like' state, almost as if I'm living in a simulation of my life but not my actual life. I've found it extremely hard to think about or focus on anything other than my mental and physical health and constantly feel not quite all there mentally. I've found that I've been overly careless and just disinterested in most things. Usually talking to other people can help me break out of this state and bring me back to reality, but I can't do anything when I'm alone, so the night is especially daunting for me.
I really want to go to my GP and book a Mental Healthcare Plan and have been planning to for months now, but I never end up going down. I'm not really sure why I'm so hesitant to go, but I really want to. Going to the GP and talking about physical things I'm fine with, it's just the mental stuff I'm too worried to talk about.
I've tried to find similar posts on the forums about this type of issue, but none of them quite fit exactly what I'm experiencing, hence the new post. Sorry for all the posts I've made in the few days, there's just been a lot on my mind.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Hi Max,
Hope you find this helpful. I have an old notebook I write stuff in when my head gets too messed up. Sometimes I write until I can't find any more words.
Referencing your anxieties may help you to consider what are issues you need to talk to your Dr about, such as your recent infections. If you are aware what issues linger once you are not so anxious, you will know to follow those up.
Congratulations for working on a way to assist and help yourself!
Cheers from Dools
