if your mother or anyone ever tries to stop you doing anything you want and HAVE to do,tell them to go f**k themselves.

I have Penny Montgomery listed as a psychologist, although I do not know where she received her PhD, which makes a big difference.

In any case, if you want I can get you the name of a physician you can see in Kansas City.

While the comments by our members are definitely sincere and well-meant, I would only ask that you see a physician directly and consider the advice given here as information you can ask your physician about.

Yeah pretty much what everybody else said. Go see one of those people in the white coats. . . it's what they are there for. Perhaps you'll need to itemize your "issues" because you probably won't find answers to everything in one 15 minute visit. Try to figure out what is most bothersome, and work on one issue at a time (of course they could be inter-related).

Also - it sounds like that you feel isolated, in addition to having medical issues. I think that trying to find some common friends - atheists or freethinkers in your area - will help out at least in that realm. Good luck,

Depression and/or anxiety disorders can also cause a lot of the symptoms you describe, especially the fear of passing out from heat.

I had a few anxiety related issues a couple years ago, and did some research into them. Fortunately they were mild and easily treatable, but they can have a profound impact on you physically.

Loss of interest and concentration are two very common symptoms of an anxiety disorder.

Like everyone has said, see a doctor about this.
