I think I'm going insane. Help me?

I know this is long, but if it’s one good deed you can do for the day, please help me. I’ll even add a TL;DR at the bottom.

Ok. So a few days ago I asked some questions about Anxiety.
As it is now – I feel like I can’t control myself. I feel as if the world isn’t real, my vision feels messed up, like there is a invisible glass in front of it and I realized I can see pictures in my head and it’s scaring me. I also am having trouble breathing and I’m conscious of every breath.

At first my vision messed up after I strained my neck. Then a few months passed after dealing with it, and I got deep in thought about the universe and why humans are humans; I was generally depressed that my vision was screwed up and that the five or so doctors I wen’t to couldn’t find anything wrong and diagnosed it as anxiety, then it hit me. I felt like I couldn’t control my actions and I was watching me mentally through a theater. Then the things I read on the internet followed, like conscious breaths, and narrating your every movement.

When I go out and socialize I forget about these things and they go away, but as soon as I think "What was I worried about?" "Oh yea." they come back no matter what I’m doing and hit me like a brick. I feel like I’m going insane and I feel as if this could never be treated and I’m going to be like this for the rest of my life. I don’t have any money to visit a therapist and If I go to the doctor again they are going to say I should just sleep it off… I’m not even getting help from family members.

I’m only 18 and I feel as if I’m going to be like this for the rest of my life!

Is this Anxiety, depression or what? Can it be treated? I’m scared. Every day my mind creates new things to worry about and be paranoid about. I just hope I can be cured from this affliction.

TL;DR: Vision is messed up, feel like I can’t control myself, I’m conscious that I can see pictures in my mind and my breathes are manual. Constant depression, panic attacks and all sorts of depersonalization and derealization. I feel like I’m going insane and I also feel like this could never be treated and I’ll never recover from this nightmare. I’ve been to many doctors who say I’m find and it’s just anxiety.

    Do you think three glasses of wine a night is too much to drink?

    I drink three glasses of wine a night, alone, by myself, at home. I do this every night & get buzzed from them. I’m on meds for bipolar, anxiety & depression, also. I get drunk about once every two months. I’ve been in outpatient rehab and clean and sober for 17 days now. I’m DYING for a drink, seeing alcohol in technocolor. Am I an alcoholic if I drink three glasses of wine a night? Thx!

      Help–I'm VERY depressed & need to know why I'm about to be fired?!?

      I have bipolar, depression & anxiety, really bad. I drink three to four glasses of wine a night & have for three years or so. In the past year my work performance has declined horribly and I’m about to be fired for being behind & making lots of mistakes. My alcohol intake hasn’t increased in the past year. I take meds for my psyche conditions & they were increased recently. I’m in alcohol rehab & I’ve been clean & sober now for 20 days. I have seen no improvement in my life so far because of being clean & sober. I miss alcohol TERRIBLY! What do you think is the cause of my poor work performance? Job burnout, my age (I’m 46), my psyche condition or my alcohol use? I’m very depressed & who knows what I’ll do. Thx!

        What is wrong with me?

        I have conversations with myself in my head, my thoughts are jumping from one thing to another. I feel Like I am constantly hearing music, and things that noone else can hear and get extremely annoyed at (eg, gum chewing, popping, and tapping)
        My brain feels fuzzy half the time, I can’t concentrate, I smell things that noone else smells, and I’m impulsive and I tend to make up rhymes that make no sense.
        The voice in my head is often jumbled, but once in a while, I get a snarky remark about somoenes gum chewing AND I RAGE. I get nervous around people, I feel like I am constantly being judged or watched, and like everyone is laughing at me. Something in my brain is telling me to do things…like hit someone, or get a glass of Milk. I had clinical depression for years as well as anxiety, but this is getting worse.

        WTF is wrong with me?

            How/If i should tell my grandma about smoking marijuana.?

            My grandma and I are very close. I consider her as one of my best friends and I often stay at her house. I would say she is very open minded (spiritually speaking I guess) however, I know she doesn’t support drugs. I don’t know her views on marijuana though.. I’m not sure how she classifies it among other drugs. Its even possible that my mom has already told her that I smoke.

            About me: I started smoking in high school with friends but I did not smoke regularly like I do now. I smoke a couple days out of the week, especially after long days. Although weed seems like more of a social drug, I’d rather do it alone. Also I don’t neccessarily smoke to get "high" or "stoned". I smoke as a way to unwind. I also have a history of depression and some anxiety and I believe that smoking helps deal with the symptoms. I like to compare it to how my mom sometimes drinks a couple glasses of wine at night. She doesn’t get drunk. She drinks to relax and fall asleep easily. I don’t want to stop smoking and I want to start growing for personal use.

            Should I tell my grandma this? How should I tell her?

              Can stress/anxiety/depression cause you to not eat a lot?

              Yesterday I only ate a slice of wheat cinnamon bread, some chips and queso, Sun Chips, and a frappucino.
              Today I’ve only eaten two slices of wheat cinnamon bread, a little ice cream, and a glass of water.

              When my body tells me I’m hungry, I eat something but get full really quickly. I also have an Adjustment Disorder. It is a combination of depression and anxiety. I have a hard time dealing with stress and I get anxious really easily. I just talked to my therapist on the phone and she says that I am more depressed than she initially thought (I haven’t told her about the not eating yet). So I have an appointment to see a doctor who will determine if antidepressants are right for me.

              Sooo…. is it normal to not eat when your stressed out or anxious? Should I be concerned? Has this ever happened to you?

              Thanks in advance!

              “How do you live in a world you can see all around you, that fills every moment of your waking life, and yet never experience it? How is it you can know you love someone and never actually share that emotion with them? In essence, how you be dead with warm flesh and blood still encasing your soul?
