Should I see a psychiatrist, how easy is it to see one?

[Joseph]

I'm feeling not myself anymore, I want to just by analysed and have my mind set at ease. I walk about in public, sometimes feeling in a world of my own, and often wouldn't feel weird if I done silly things, because I'm "not exactly there". I don't know if this is normal, but I don't hear voices or anything like that, I just feel not so normal. I was drinking one night and message a guy on facebook who bullied me in my youth, and i give him a death threat, was a horrible mistake and it's lowered my self esteem. My head was gone that night, I can't remember much, but my dad said it was scary and that I was acting strange, I was furious. I was on Sertraline 50mg for about 4 months, slowly cutting down after that drinking period that night, I'm now taking half of one a day. I was also seeing a counselor during my medication period. I have this homicidal fantasy I can't get out of my head, it's making me feel evil and insane, but I'm not, generally I'm a nice young man, but due to the media, all these shootings you hear in america, it's getting to my head sometimes, and i feel guilty for looking into the stories. Please help, I want to start feeling innocent and normal again, I have a lot on my mind and don't have friends, I'm quite anti-social.
I'm 19.

You should join some online chat forums to get some online friends or maybe start playing mmorpg

Are you in the UK. If so please go to your GP and ask to be seen by a specialist. Explain everything and I am sure they will be able to fit you in soon rather than having to wait six months.

Hi Joseph,
I does sound like you need to talk to someone, try your parents first or a good friend. If you can maybe a doctor could help.
Make sure you find someone good, there are loads of interesting and different people online, in forums and in the gaming community, I wouldn't recommend talking to them.
Good luck and I hope you try and find the help you want.

I think you need to resume treatment with your counselor. Perhaps a different medication would help too. Sertraline (Zoloft) is a good medication and 50 mg. is a low dose but I've heard of some people who don't feel normal while taking it. But there are dozens of other medications that your doctor might try on you. The fact that you are anti-social and drink bothers me. Without the benefit of input from friends you are probably left to obsess over things you have on your mind. You need to get your mind on something productive like school or a hobby.
