I’m and 18 year old female and I’ve had psychologists and psychiatrists tell me I have severe anxiety and depression. I’m currently taking Celexa. Don’t know if this information will help at all, but there it is.

I’ve told my psychiatrist about how I feel like people can read my mind. I stress out about it so much. She never really gave me any clear answer to that and never asked me about it since. It bothers me though because that’s the one thing that bothers me most. She did say that me hearing people call my name is anxiety-related. I’m not here to get professional advice, but what do you think it could be? 

I hope I don’t sound stupid at all, but what if I have something else aside from the anxiety and depression? Or maybe they’re just working together really well to beat me up? I don’t know. I get really tense and overwhelmed to the point where sometimes I snap at people because I’m so hung up on thinking about them picking apart all my thoughts. And I feel like they watch me. I can definitely see them staring in the corner of my eye, but when I quickly look over at them, they’re not looking at me. But I felt it. Another thing, sometimes I feel like people are plotting against me. Even my own relatives. It switches off between beating me up. poisoning me, or just secretly hating me. It’s really easy for me to get freaked out and tense thinking about this stuff. And most the time when I think about it, it isn’t voluntary. 

I don’t know what this is. Next time I see my psychiatrist I will bring it up and if she brushes it off again, I’ll just find another professional to speak to about this. I kind of feel embarrassed even posting this because I know it’s ridiculous, but I want to hear the possibilities of what this could be. Even if it is just anxiety-related, I still want this taken care of. And I know it’s not wise to go to the internet asking about things like this, but all I’m asking for is opinions. What does this sound like to you? I’m not going to take anything as a matter of fact answer, but it would be nice to just hear any opinions.
