I don't mean to scare you, but the sooner you see a doctor for a diagnosis the better because it will be a better outcome if caught and treated early. There is no reason to live in such a turmoil when there is help out there.
I would make an appointment with a good Psychiatrist or even child psychiatrist, if you insurance requires a referral from your physician, then make an appointment with your GP as all are trained now in psychological medications and treatment. Be very specific about your symptoms and ask your doctor for a referral, even some talk therapy may be needed to get you better.
Take care.

 Marieclaire is right. Get to the doctor ASAP. There are meds that can help with this.
