hello, to anyone who has decided to read this.
basically, i have had a lot of trouble focusing/remembering things and have felt depressed for years. now it is really affecting my schoolwork. i feel like i should see a psychiatrist but i feel sort-of embarrassed. i have talked to my parents about this but they don't really believe that anything could be wrong with me. i think this is because they both dealt with a lot of moving around due to being in military families and are accustomed to feeling sad and lonely when they move somewhere new. i would talk about it, then they would say it would pass. also i don't think they believe me because i do well in school, but honestly i have no idea how i do well. i procrastinate like crazy and can barely focus on schoolwork, or anything really. and i've always returned to being depressed, and i hate it. basically, i just feel like i should see a psychiatrist but i feel scared to ask my parents, for fear they will say no or take this the wrong way. i just want to feel better.
