I noticed that you said in your post that you don't have good coping skills. Have you considered working on that? Working on developing better coping skills? I think that would help you a lot -- what do you think?
I hope you did go to that social tonight, because I think the more time you spend around other people, the less time you have to ruminate on these things. Your rumination seems to be bad for you, which you also pointed out in your post. It seems to me that you're getting more insight into yourself, which is a good thing -- even if it doesn't seem that way right now.
And Matt? You're not schizophrenic. Trust me. Schizophrenia is more than "hearing voices" -- it's a thought disorder, and you don't have it. What you do have is overwhelming anxiety, and I think trying something like an SSRI to reduce that anxiety would be in your best interests.
Good luck.
