wanna get back to normal!

im not entirely sure whats going on with me atm but everyone around me seems to think im suffering from anxiety... i cant quite say whether it is that or not.... i have felt so distant from myself for about 5 months now, ive had this feeling before but this time its just not going away, i want to push everyone close to me away yet i dont wanna be alone?! i cry, alot! and basically just feel like im totally losing grip of myself, i was always the fun outgoing kinda person so i try to put tht on when my friends are around but i miss being normal, whatever normal is! also tryna hold down a job, ive now walked out of two jobs since june something which i would never have seen myself doing, i just wanna know if this is anxiety or is it some sort of depression i need help but feel embarrased to tlk to anyone about it and feel theyll all eventually get bored of seeing me walking around with a sad soppy face! ive also not had a proper nights sleep in about three years, i cannot sleep at night at all i cant explain why, so i sit awake until 7/8AM and alot of the time i dont sleep for well over 24 hours, ive tried sleeping meds nothing helps could this be a big factor to the way im feeling also

It could be depression.  It could be anxiety.  It could be bipolar disorder or it could be post traumatic stress disorder.  The only way to find out is go to the doctor.  I am really sorry.  My best guess would only be a guess.  I suspect it may be a number of different factors but the most important thing is to remember there is help for you.  There is nothing to be ashamed about and the time to start living is now.  You will not get better until you see a doctor.  It is not scary.  All they do is ask you questions.  It is not like they have to take a brain tissue sample or something. Just go answer some things they ask you and let them decide and help you.

Sounds like me,yes it's depression,I've dealt with this on and off since the age of 18,I'm now 24 and married with 2 kids. It doesn't just effect me,it effects them also and that really makes me feel crappy. The only thing that has ever helped me with this is going to church,the Ned's from the fox did nothing.
