Why do I feel like I'm going mad

[Goldfish_]

No doubt it's complicated and the answer won't be as short as your question.

You will need to give some context and history and think what this forum maybe able to help you with.

How can we help, This is one of the most asked questions in the UK.

Can you explain please, Do you need help ??

If sanity is having 'normal thought' patterns in line with the consensus reality we live in

And insanity is not having them

Then maybe you could watch your different thought patterns than usual

And see what they're telling you about your feelings and your life right now

Are you hearing voices?

Are you feeling overwhelmed by your current circumstances

Are you feeling unreal or like you don't exist?

Or the world seems different in some way than it did?

Could be severe anxiety

Or trauma

From Alice in Wonderland:

I'm mad, you're mad, we're all mad here'

Only joking

Not much fun feeling disoriented

Please write bit more about what you're experiencing

Imbalance.is all I can say.when I had my breakdown I thought I was going mad I thought I would end up on a park bench thousands of negative thoughts going through my head.my doctor said how can you be going mad when I could still rationalise things.i was very scared I could not understand how my brain was all over the place but it is a chemical imbalance and you and the doctors have to find a right way for you to bring balance back into your life.i was worried about everything.i read lots of books about the brain which did help took anti dep which definatly helped going back to work after 5 months off was hard but is a massive help there is light at the end of the tunnel and help out there I still have bad crap days anxiety sweating worries but I control it better now.but you just writing on here shows your not going mad your reaching out.i hope you get the help you need and you can also talk on here we have all been or going through some sort of therapy.take care but your not mad.
