What stands out to me is that you feel that you're being watched, and the sounds become dulled, if I'm interpreting you correctly. Please know that this is not an official or professional diagnosis - I'm years away from having my license to practice - and that I strongly suggest you have a psychological evaluation.

Just based on what you tell me up there, I'd call it General Anxiety Disorder.

A couple of questions, though:
Do you ever feel out of body, or like you're not really present?
Do you ever find yourself missing hours in the day, unable to account for what happened during them?
You mentioned you struggled with depression - are you feeling any of those symptoms?
Does your heart rate ever speed up (or slow down) considerably when you're just standing there?
Do you ever use any drugs? No judgments here - some of them can cause some of the symptoms you're describing.
Do you sleep at least 6 hours a night?

I'm hoping you'll give me a little more info so I can see the situation a little more clearly, but if not, please get yourself evaluated - there's no reason to feel this way. If you're not sure how to go about finding someone to evaluate you, drop a question in my inbox or IM me (SirenCytherea on AIM).

If you don't choose to contact me, good luck, and hang in there.

Thanks, i added additional information to answer your questions. I do not have AIM however and it says you dont accept questions to your inbox

I'm a laid-back 26 year old with a Psychology BA, starting my MA program, and working my way into the field as quickly as I can. It took me an extra Bachelor's degree (in vocal performance and creative writing) to figure it out, but I was put on this Earth to help, to heal, and to love.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life and career to helping others. I am here to do just that.

I've been a member since 2004, and since I signed up, I've gone through quite a lot and learned quite a lot from it. I'm here to give guidance where I had none; no one should have to go through the difficulties I went through alone.

Feel free to visit my website/blog, if you want to read my experience with domestic violence and my thoughts on it.

***While I do tend to answer mental health and other health-related or medicine-related questions, I am by NO MEANS a licensed physician or practitioner of any sort. Any and all advice I give for these questions is from my own experience or studies.***

If you need to get a hold of me quickly, my screen name on AIM is SirenCytherea. Just let me know you found me here.

I'm a strong believer in the idea that there are no stupid questions except the ones left unasked, so, please, keep an open mind, heart, and mouth.
