🧠 My Opinion (As a Psychiatrist):
Thank you for having the courage to express this. What you're describing—insomnia, panic attacks, confusion, and self-harming thoughts—are serious symptoms that indicate underlying emotional distress, likely falling under anxiety or depressive disorders. The fact that you’re aware something’s wrong and yet feel frozen is a very real and painful experience, not uncommon in mental health conditions.
These symptoms are not a weakness or failure, but a call for help—and you’ve already taken the first step by speaking up.
Next Steps
🪜 Next Step (What Should the Patient Do Next):
✅ Please consult a psychiatrist immediately—these thoughts need professional attention and care. There are safe and effective medications and therapies available.
✅ You may also benefit from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps manage panic, anxiety, and harmful thoughts.
✅ If you ever feel overwhelmed or unsafe, please reach out to a crisis helpline or go to the nearest hospital immediately.
✅ You can even start by booking an online consultation from the safety of your home
Health Tips
🛟 Helpful Tips / WORD OF CAUTION:
⚠️ Do not ignore self-harming thoughts—they are a red flag and need urgent support.
📴 Avoid isolation and overuse of screens—try to connect with a friend or trusted family member.
🌱 Try to maintain a small routine like waking up, bathing, eating—even when you don’t feel like it.
💬 You’re not alone, and these feelings can get better with the right help.
