I feel like i am going crazy

I dont want to feel this way anymore, i cant stop being paranoid about things going wrong, especially with my friends. I feel so alone and stupid... why do i feel so out of the loop. I thought this would be over, that i would have a new start since leaving school. All my friends are fine, they are coping with their depression... then why dont i believe them? I have the horrible feelings something is going to go wrong...Im going crazy. I tried counselling and that made me more anxious, now im thinking of medication... but im scared of the side effects. I am so tired, i am exhausted of feeling so alone and paranoid. I want to be happy... but i cant... I want to talk to my best friends but somehow i feel like they dont really care... or that they can't cope. They've gone through the same things but i feel like they lack empathy... like i'm supposed to be the strong one. But i can't be the strong one anymore. 

Im sorry if this doesnt make sense, it hardly makes sense to me... i'm so confused.

please help, i've run out of coping mechanisms... ive been doing this alone for too long... i can't do it anymore. I need help.

Hi there beautiful u have come to the right place for support. Your never alone in this ordeal we r all here to help you every step of the way. It sadens me that you have between going through this for such a long time.  You can only be the strong one for so long then u also need that time to come loose so to speak. I can emphasize with you how horrible the feeling of being paranoid and anxious can be i suffered many years with these myself i spoke to my psyciatrist and together we found a medication that worked. Please don't be afraid of going on medication this may be an option to explore with your local gp with help you will get yourself back on track.  In no way r u crazy or stupid your just having a hard time coping and this is why we r all here for you we r ac great bunch who will support you till the very end. No need to apoligize that is what we r here for.  Please keep in touch and let me know what u decide to do venessa xx
