Should I get it checked out? Also, should I care?

I'm in a similar situation, I meet most of the criteria but I've somehow managed to hide my behavior or not get caught for the most part. I have, however, been unable to maintain employment and a residence for over two years now. I live with my parents who are very understanding, as are the few remaining close friends I have but I think they are all in denial of how out of hand my life has gotten, or maybe I'm just really good at hiding it. Most of my relationships consists of casual sex, usually in public places or friends I only communicate with via chat/email. I have a long lists of aliases, though not for any criminal, or for that matter, any discernable reason. I have no motivation or long term goals but I'm frustrated with state of my life, mainly because I'm confined by my lack of financial means and by social expectations that I'm never able to properly meet. I plan to undergo formal evaluation asap but I honestly have no idea what will happen after that. Over the last several years, I feel like I've been losing my grip on reality but it's started to deteriorate even further these last few weeks. I understand that whatever is wrong, it is serious and I need all the help I can get. Can anyone offer any words of advice?
