Get to a doctor. There are some new medications for this problem that are remarkable. I've known many people with this problem. When they got help and we're feeling better, they realized that most people were too caught up in their own lives to take so much notice of them or anyone else...unfortunately. Also, the more you work with people who need your help, (elderly, physically impaired,children, animals) the more your focus will be off yourself and onto others. Good luck.
