I really don't know what else to add, but my heart hurts for you, and I'm so sorry. Things must be very difficult right now.
Have you thought about going to a support group? They're generally free. They're truly amazing to talk about anxiety, grief, to share your stuff if you're ready, and to hear what other people are going through, and be able to connect, share experiences, talk about what's on your chest, and reach out... that might be a good place just to go and check out, right now, even if you stay quiet and say nothing for the first few meetings. Googling should bring up a list of places nearby.

I haven't read through all of this but as long as they don't have sufficient reason to believe/proof that you are thinking of hurting yourself or
somebody else they canNOT commit you. They can suggest you admit yourself and refer you to therapists and psychiatrists and stuff, but they can't hold you
against your will.
:aww I've had panic attacks before, though never for such a long period. I do feel for you. Please try to talk to a professional. |

you need to talk to someone to help you through this. call therapists in your area by doing some research online and tell them what you are going through on
the phone first before meeting them, avoid the ones that just ask you to come in and discuss your issues then without listening to you and consider the ones
that you felt the most comfortable with on the phone.
in the meantime, call your friends, have your friends meet you in person, and talk to them. you need to get it out because you haven't been able to cope through this pain and it'll only drive you insane if you don't face it and get it out. |

Alright, not sure if you're awake still, but here we go.
I am a mental health crisis worker, in California, working at what is called a Mental Health Crisis Residential facility. It is a short term facility where people can stay at for a couple weeks when things are getting a little too much to handle. We do individual and group therapy, and provide every person with resources and after-care appointments so they have a good support system. It sounds like something you could benefit from. However, the company I work for does not have any facilities in Oklahoma. Also, my specific facility requires people to have insurance. I'm not sure about these places, but this is what I can get for you: http://www.odmhsas.org/menthealth.htm Main page http://www.odmhsas.org/menthealth.htm#rescare Residential care centers (sounds like where I work at), all over OK, nothing specifically in Tulsa. I have no idea about OK or the surrounding cities, so I'm not sure if they are close of not to you. I know of facilities that take people 3 hours away or more tho, so it's not just specific to your city. These are all Mental Health Centers in Tulsa. Maybe call them, see what they offer, see if they have any short-term inpatient programs: Associated Centers for Therapy, Inc. 918-492-2554 (V/TDD) F&CS Mental Health Care, Inc. 918-587-9471 Grand Lake Community Mental Health Center, Inc., Tulsa County Office 918-430-0335 Red Rock Behavioral Health Services-PACT Program 918-584-2325 Tulsa Center for Behavioral Health 918-745-2402 This is the full list of Mental Health Centers in OK: http://www.odmhsas.org/menthealth.htm#mhc (again, I have no idea of the geography in OK, so maybe if the ones in Tulsa don't work out, try nearby cities.) Two things I want you to know- All these people are there to give you resources and to help you. If you feel like your voice isn't being heard, it's not something that is wrong with you, rather the facility/other person. You have just as much of a voice as everyone else. If you do start to feel unsafe and don't have anyone immediately to turn to, call 1-800-suicide (784-2433). It's not just a suicide hotline, but there's real people on the other line that will listen and give you advice and also point you in the right direction for help. I hope this helps. PM me if you have any questions.

I'm sorry
I can relate to the anxiety and panic attacks and also you mention "I feel like i'm not a real person and I'm watching a TV show" I have that also, its called Depersonalization Disorder. You might want to read about that on google. I hope you get the help you need

My mother passed away unexpectedly a few months ago, as well. Although I can't relate to the feeling like "you're on a tv show", I can relate
to the rest. My depression and anxiety attacks have been pretty severe since. I could go a few days with very little sleep (if any at all). So, I decided to
talk to my doctor. He prescribed a low dose of Xanax and talk therapy. I'm not one to push prescribed medication to anyone, but it has helped me. I've
actually felt pretty normal lately.
I talked to a counselor a few times (that my doctor recommended), but I didn't really care for it. So, once a week, I talk to my friend about what's going on and how I'm feeling. And although she might not know exactly what I'm going through, it does help to get it out. Also, there is a book called "Motherless Daughters" by Hope Edelman. It's very insightful, and it has helped me to deal with my grief. It might help you, as well. I don't usually post on here, but I thought my experience might be of some use to you. |

Oh, man. I really feel for you. I don't have much to add except that I really think you should talk to a professional. I think group therapy could be
helpful for you. You deserve a chance to have a normal, happy life. I think you should talk to your sister too. It might help both of you to talk about this
together. I wish you the best of luck.
