Hello Michael

Welcome to PC. It seems that you are to me pretty much on the money with your assessment, bearing in mind though that it could relate to teachers or other significant people in your life; there could be more to it than the surface indicators.

Therapy would be the proper course for this issue. And you don't have to tell your GP why you wish to see a therapist; if you feel the need to then just tell him you feel down or depressed about something that you don't feel comfortable discussing.

I really wish you well with this issue and let you know you do have support here at PC, we all need that support and we all give that support when we see the need for it,

Rhiannon
