I don't know what's wrong with me,any1 can help me?

My symptoms:
1. I am in hyper-vigilant state all the time, more observant and aware of people and surrounding, when there are people around me, no matter stranger or friends, my attention keep focusing on them vigilantly, when they have small movement, I will have action to protect myself, but I don’t think they will hurt me or dangerous, this vigilant state and my attention and protect action cannot be controlled by myself; when there is nobody around, my attention keep focusing on things around me, such as table chair TV cups etc, this focusing for no reason, I don’t know why.

2. I am easily startled by sudden noise or appearance of people, for example there is one person in elevator, and door open I will be startled by the person, and even I tell myself there will be people appear, I still will be startled.

3. My skin is very sensitive, when I touch someone or something unconsciously, the touching part of my body will shrink, the action like touch a very hot thing.

4. If I see something drop suddenly, the muscle below my lips will tremble.

5. Insomnia, my case is strange I feel very tired but cannot fall asleep in the night, and I don’t think anything in bed but cannot sleep.

6. Emotional numbing, all of my emotions gone, I cannot feel happy trustful appreciative confident proud angry scared depression anxiety worried panic despairing disdain hate envy regret loneliness, like a person without feeling, only left alert and wary.

7. Not interested in anything, poverty of speech got nothing to talk with friends.

8. Always have unbearable feeling.

The doctor prescribed anti-depressant before such as fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, Remeron, escitalopram, lorazepam but all of them have no any effect, and anti-psychotics such as Risperidone, haloperidol, after taking no remission at all.

I don’t have any symptoms of depression I have no feeling of anxiety panic or depression etc, I am not worried about anything, and no symptoms of schizophrenia, I don’t hear any voice also don’t have hallucination and I don’t think people will hurt me, I can study, reading normally, and no symptoms of OCD.

Those symptoms above showed when I was 19, now I am 24, nothing special happened no violent trauma happened before.

What is problem with me? What medicine should I take?

all I can say is get to a Dr.  they can work with you on what med's may be needed as well as possibly arranging a therapist for you to talk to.

i had many of your above symptoms particularly the lack of emotion and the discomfort "unbearable" feeling. i am 19 and had felt that way since the age of thirteen until i saw an endochrinologist who diagnosed me with an estrogen deficiency. i've been taking ovatrophin pmg along with other nutritional/hormone supplements. i can now see and think clearly and am involved and connected with my environment. also, now that i'm more engaged with my surroundings, things don't startle me as badly as they once did.
