However, even though it might sound cliche, no one on here can tell for certain what is exactly going on nor diagnose you. It would be good to get a psychiatrist's/psycholigist's opinion just to be sure.

I wish that was an option, really I do, but unfortunately it isn't. I don't have the money on my own to seek help, my family doesn't have insurance, and on top of it all, they wouldn't believe me. My parents are the type to say, "People today are such wimps. They have one little quirk in their personality, and they have to go get labeled with a condition," In other words, they would write me off as just experiencing today's habit of "labeling everything" and tell me that I'll get over it. They've done it before, and it only makes things worse on my end. I'm not sure what to do, to be honest.
