What is wrong with me?

Question

I have always been the type to worry about everything but its never gone past more than just a thought in my head that usually disapears quite quickly.
I recently took a trip thru latin america/mexico and loved it but
upon my return my mind has been inundated with anxiety and depressive thoughts, i constantly think about how old i am and worry that i wont achieve the things i want by a certain age.
I worry about my parents and their health, and everything i say makes me think that i am going crazy.
Lately these thoughts are affecting me and making me feel suicidal at times and beyond all im actually scared of how i feel and worry i might never recover.
Can a phychiatrist help me? is this just a phase in my life and i will come out of it ok? anyone out there can help please do and i will be forever grateful.
Thank you all for reading.

thanks guys i apreaciate all the input so far i will try the things you all mentioned. thanks so much.

Answer 1

Going to a Third World Country can do that to you. You have to. HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO
BREAK your Negative thought Pattern. You need to give all your concerns over to the LORD. You have to CONSTANTLY ALL THROUGH THE DAY SAY NOTHING but POSITIVE WORDS TO YOURSELF....
EXERCISE 1 hour everyday high intensity like Running or the elliptical trainer. (while on the Elliptical Trainer say POSITIVE THINGS TO YOURSELF)
Say things to yourself Like, "I Believe in myself" "Everything is going to be Okay" "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Go to nature take walks while listening to uplifting music.
BUT........The KEY is to LOVE yourself and to Make yourself feel better with.....GOD and YOUR WORDS :)

Answer 2

I'm not a therapist, but maybe you should ask one.

My friend had an anxiety disorder that she found when she was in 3rd grade, but I do not know how it came about. I don't know if it randomly happened, or if she had dealt with it her whole life.

I do worry a lot, but not as intensely as you describe. I would ask a psychiatrist to make sure.

Answer 3

it might take a few before you can find one that can help, but the answer is yes a shrink/counselor can help you if you're willing to work on it. this isn't just a "phase" you're going through. it's not going to get better over night but if you can find a good counselor/therapist to talk to on a regular basis and possibly a shrink to prescribe meds if they think it's warrented then in time it will get better and you'll be able to over-come it.
but like I said it won't happen overnight and drugs aren't the cureall that people expect/want them to be, you have to be willing to work at it too

Answer 4
