Welcome, teenanxiety.

Don't worry about where to post. The moderators will move threads into appropriate forums if you guess worng. However, you might want to start with Anxiety Disorders and go from there.

Tell us a bit more about yourself or how we can help you. Ask questions. We'll do our best to respond in helpful ways.

And heres a little more about myself, I have never been an outgoing person in real. I hate crowds of people. I can be paranoid at times. I love art and want to draw more but I am un inspired. I am in home schooling now. My parents are divorced. Ummmmmmmm I can be OCD with something. I can control it for most part. Not sure what else should say about me. I do get depressed easily. For now thats all

I do get depressed easily....I get easily stressed over very tiny things

Have you ever received medical help for your difficulty with mood and stress?

Hi! Welcome.

 

[Teenanxiety]

No I have not my dad has enough stress because of my family. So never told him. And as it we are going to have very stressful night. There is mental illness in genes so yea I am 90% sure I should get help. But I dont like relying on meds. I barely even take head ache meds.

Teenanxiety,

As a young adult this would be the time for you to take control of your own health care and arrange to be seen by the physician of your choice to seek treatment.

If you are a student, there might be a student health service at your school, if not see your general practitioner and ask for a referral to a specialist who can help you. The conditions you have described are treatable and there is no reason for you to suffer symptoms that adversely affect your quality of life.

Do you have your own doctor you can call for an appointment?

 

[Teenanxiety]

No not yet. And I will try and work on it when on own. Just dont want my dad to have more to worry about.
