It's normal for this to be kind of bothersome, but things are really fucking up. I think I have paranoia. I start uncontrollably shaking, get cottonmouth, can't focus on what anybody is even saying to me sometimes. I know this is my mind creating delusions, but it takes a huge toll and people are thinking I'm really fucking odd because of it, especially her.
Now I'm seeing a psychiatrist starting next week. I've been feeling depressed excessively. Has anyone else had anything similar?

Your girlfriend is a part of your life, not everything. Don't be afraid of change. Relationships are complicated. It's ok to feel upset.
Taking antidepressives can ease your feelings, but remember it's just drugs and building a shield (feeling numb instead of sad or angry) will not solve anything. Open up to your psychiatrist before starting a med plan. His or her reputation doesn't mean he/she will understand what you're going through right away and it takes time to build confidence.
If you've been smoking too much marijuana paranoia could be the effect.
Anyway, good luck. I think I've felt like you before (depression after a break-up, psychiatrists, feeling crazy, etc) so I speak from my experience.
It's not so bad. Cheer up!
