Have I Got A Mental Health Issue? I Dont Know What Is Normal.

[VictoryV]

Id like some help. I think I have a mental health problem but since I don't know what goes on inside everyone else head I don't know what is normal.
I seem to have a range of issues and symptoms.
I'm mildly OCD. I like order and patterns. I will count and add up any numbers I see.
I don't like to look at my own face in a mirror or on photos. Id call it facial dimorphia.
I'm a 44 year old male. I'm actually in Mensa but I cant apply my intelligence to anything that will have any benefit. I work in a manual job that I hold down ok but don't have the ability to apply my brains to do anything worthwhile.
I seem to have social anxiety. I get annoyed and frustrated whenever I talk to strangers. Also I am impatient with strangers to a degree where I constantly have to hold my frustration in check. This means i don't go out socially and this is making me isolated.
I think getting a girlfriend would help a lot but I cant motivate myself even to go on dating sites to look.
I generally have no motivation to do anything when I'm not at work and I am angry, confused and frustrated all the time.
Also there seems to be a constant fog in my mind where I have to push thru it just to look at a street or building. Its the same when I'm talking to someone. There seems to be a disconnect between what I'm looking at and me processing the image.
I do seem to have a quick mind but I cant use it to any usefully degree and its frustrating having it there but not seeing any results or benefit.
There you go. This text is longer than I would have liked but it only covers a small amount of my issues. Wish i could just take a magic pill and become the man I think I could be.
Any of this sound familiar to anyone?
Sorry if it sounds like im whining.

Please keep in touch, Victory, and let us know how you are getting on and if any advice here has been useful.

You are living inside your own head too much and your focus is on your own issues. You need to do some activity which will get you out of yourself, hopefully involving other people.I have a pal who walks his dog several times a day and has built up loads of acquaintances who he can chat to in a non threatening environment. He regularly washes his head at us and it seems to do him good. What we have found is that he has underlying issues with his employers which he didn't, at first, mention.

Let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

You could always go to the doctors and explain your "problems" but you'll be at risk of been seen by a naive doctor that wants to get famous. If they can't label you with some sort of illness they might even write a paper from your symptoms and brand it as a completely new disorder paving way for the pharmasuitical industry to start developing a new super drug to control the functions of your brain making them super rich and making you super controlled and super dumb. Or you could always try reaing the Quran

What I have taken away from this is that I'm probably living in my own head too much and that I need to see a doctor. Thanks to everyone for your input.

Victoryv, it really depends how much it's all affecting your daily life. See if you can help yourself- jobseeking, walking, making an effort to speak to people (it's just practice). If you then feel it is out of your control and affecting you, see your doctor.
