Wondering About Anxiety

...See more I've always been a bit of an over thinker, but I started noticing last year that I was obsessing over my school work and that stressful things affected me more than my peers. Within the last few months, I've felt a lot more nervous, a lot more awkward with social interactions, and I've had more trouble sleeping than usual. I also developed a fear of the dark maybe six months ago. However, I only have one of the physical symptoms: nausea. I'm wondering if I might have anxiety, or if I'm overreacting. I've taken a few screenings online, but I get different results from each one. I really want yo know if this is something I should seek he'll for, or if it is normal.

...See more On and off for around four years, I've felt sad, guilty, anxious, awkward, and just not right. Even I feel this way throughout most of the day, there are times when I'm doing something that I love or am out with friends and feel perfectly okay. I've also been compulsively picking at my skin for three to four years. For maybe the past year or so, I've been even more of a perfectionist than usual, and it makes my schoolwork difficult because I feel the urge to write and write to make sure I've covered everything in my answers. For the same amount of time, I've had thoughts of suicide, although I have to no desire or intention to go through with any of them. A few months ago, I started getting very nervous and having feelings of dread at night. I'm wondering what all of this means. I'm most worried about having depression, although I'm not sure if that's possible, since I've had these symptoms so long and they temporarily lift at times. Could I have depression? Bipolar? OCD? Anxiety? Or am I just going insane? Please help!
