I guess I should see one here, but the last shrink I went to (I never had any kind of therapy, it was just an IQ test)was really bad. And how on earth do I ask my parents?
"Hey, you've given me a disorder, maybe even depression, now can I go see a shrink?" *big smile*
They are under the delusion that everything's fine and I'm only failing school and quitting my hobbies and interests because I'm lazy, but other than that we are all one happy family. Yay. Not. |
Wow. This is exactly how I felt about two months ago. My parents thought I was absolutely fine. Everyone thought my life was perfect, great parents, good grades, art/guitar, cheerful...
But I was actually developing depression, had OCD and am going through psychosis. I had no idea what to do, where to go or anything.
So I went to school and asked the counsellor there for help. She rang my mother, then I got Doctor's appointments and now I'm with an early intervention psychosis team. Maybe try this? Ask your parents first though. I know how hard it is, it took years for me. Just be really serious and sit them down and tell them everything; depressed mood, worsening grades, feeling trapped, losing interest etc..
Good luck! I hope I helped a bit
