I posted a few threads on how shitty i feel and stuff like that and i still do. I'm wondering if I should just go to a doctor and try to get anti-anxiety or anti-depression pills. For about two years or so I've been getting feelings of uneasiness and uncomfortable especially in public. Sometimes it's so bad that my heart is beating like crazy and i get extremely lightheaded suddenly. I'm usually in a bad mood and I get mad at everything, especially to my family. Right now I have problems with my college and it is overwhelming me, I feel very stressed and worried about college. I feel worthless and I'm always blaming my self. If something is bothering me It's hard for me to stop thinking about it and making my self feel bad.Lately I have so much in my head that I have trouble thinking what to say in a conversation and I would just stutter. I got more problems than this, but this is enough. I was thinking i should just drink alcohol till i get tipsy every time i go out so i can calm my nerves. I'm pretty sure i do need some kind of medication... but i have a few questions.
Can i go to a family doctor for my case?
and
How much are the pills?
I live in Canada if that matters.

I advise you to make an appointment with your family doctor. He/she should be able to determine your needs and care for you. Life is too short to not enjoy it. Not knowing what the doctor will prescribe for you, it is impossible to guess the cost. There is not one "fits all" make-you-feel-good pill.
Don't you have nationalized health care in Canada?

Yes, you should at least start with a family doctor, who might then refer you on to a specialist. There are a lot of treatment possibilities.

Well I don't know what you should do, but I can offer a suggestion. I suggest you ask your doctor and explain to him/her what you are feeling. I also suggest that you ask your doctor to refer you to a therapist. Sometimes talking to just about anyone you trust can help a little. So don't be afraid to talk. I'm pretty sure you know of the former position I was in very recently and it may seem very foolish of me to be giving out advice, but still, please speak to someone. I don't like seeing people feel bad or hurt. I guess it's just the way I am and if I have said something to offend you in this post I very deeply apologize.
