Have you talked to a doctor or therapist yet about this? You really do need to do so.
Here is what the DSM-IV (and Psych Central) say about it:

Jade, I would definitely check with a medical professional right away, because the longer you wait, the worse it becomes...and you are so young and have so much left to live for. Fight for yourself! Show up at a doc's and tell them what you told us.
I wish the best for you,
