You *might* have that, with usual caveats that NO ONE can diagnose over the internet, not even trained psychiatrists.

At any rate, yes, seek counseling asap. There should be someone affordable or free near by.

Your county and/or state should have someone. Just type your county/parish/state name into Google along with "affordable counseling" and you should find something suitable. Or, type "mental health center" along with your county.

Best wishes and good luck.
