> CKS846 please go and see a mental health practitioner and get some expert help. I have a brother with paranoid schizophrenia and he started with symptoms very much like yours. Schizophrenia is a treatable disorder and there is no stigma attached to seeking help.

Yes, the best way to address this problem is definitely telling all the details in this thread to a psychiatrist or even your family doctor.
