Extreme desires for specific things
For years, I will frequently and randomly develope an extreme desire for a specific thing, anything from a certain person to potato chips. I will go into an almost paranoid daze in which I cannot focus, make conversation, answer questions, or feel like I can do anything until I get the specific thing. It ranges from simply not being able to focus, to me crying. Sometimes I feel like I will explode, or that I am trapped inside my body and mind, and the only thing that will make me feel better is this specific item. The feeling of throwing up sometimes occurs. I has anxiety and moderate depression, but this has been occurring for as long as I can remember, and has progressively gotten worse and occurs more frequently.

Hi. I went through your query in detail and can understand what you must be going through. From what you have mentioned, it seems that you are having underlying emotionally unstable traits.  The good news is that you are able to understand that this pattern of behaviour is problematic which makes easier for you to work on it. You need to meet a psychiatrist or a psychologist in order to get yourself evaluated. Accordingly treatment with psychotherapy will help you get better.
Next Steps
Meet a psychiatrist or a psychologist for evaluation.
