You might not want to but i went through a similar thing and i explained it all to my doctor now im back to my self your no insane either. its also clear you want to tell someone if you cant tell your doctor about it try writing it down and giving a letter to your doctor instead hope youll cope with this and dont ever let yourself think your mad or insane. Good luck

 Hun, the first thing you need to do is to speak to your GP.
You have taken a very brave step by requesting advice on her and I am sure we will all give the same advice.
You are showing signs of severe depression, which can spiral right out of control if not treated in the correct manner.
Your GP will recognise this and will help with medication, they may also refer you to a professional counsellor.
Do you have any hobbies which you can do to help occupy yourself, maybe a gym membership.
You came to this site, so you no longer need to feel isolated. The people here will always be there should you need anybody to talk to.
Have you spoken to your family about this?
This will soon become less traumatic as you realise the support you have.
I wish you the very best of luck and I know you will seen feel happy again.
xx

 Like Baby Girl, I to am one of the moderators and this is borderline on approved/unapproved. It seems to me that you do have a problem. Far be it for me to diagnose you as to what that is, because I am not a professional in that area of expertise. I can tell you this. Seek out someone you trust and talk to them. I think the biggest thing right now is you are not venting these feelings and emotions to anyone. You don't have an outlet. I am sure whoever you talk with will tell you that you will need some sort of professional help in this matter as it is a serious one. Fine an outlet and get professional counseling because without it you never know how far this will go and the extent on which your mind and body can be damaged. I hope you get the help that you need and I hope that it all works out well for you. God Bless. Good Luck.

Maybe visiting a doctor to get some support in that department because the message you seem to be sending out isnt good for your health, physically, socially, or mentally. I dont think you are going insane at all however help is definately a good option, whether it be from family or medical advice. Perhaps the two of you need a breakaway from each other to gather your thoughts and really evaluate where your at. My advice is go and see somebody in the family, maybe they could go with you to the doctors for moral support. Whatever you choose i hope this has been of help. good luck !!
