No don't give up, There sounds to be somthing wrong, your Doc. is only comparing you to her and that is NOT RIGHT.
You need to find someone who spceialises in this area, a lot of family doc's don't get it.
Bringing your journal is the best way for you to let someone who knows what they are doing know how you feel. I always used my journal in Therapy because I could not express myself any other way.
There are many proffec's in this area who know what they are doing.
If your feeling something is wrong then something is wrong, don't let denial get in your way.
The Doc you saw is bad and not open to learning how you are, get away from her she will only make you worse.I wouldn't even ask her for a refferal because she does not believe you and will probably have a hard time with refering you to someone else.
Hang on, keep trying, sometime people don't believe that young people can ever get depressed, and that they have nothing to be depressed about. THAT IS SO WRONG!!!!!
Take Care and let us know how you are doing o-kay.
Your in my thoughts.
