I first seeked help nearly 5 years ago. I had already been struggling for 6 years at that point. Things were spiralling out of control and I finally saw that I couldn't do it on my own anymore. I wish I had seeked help sooner but like you I felt like I would be wasting time. I didn't think that a doctor would take me seriously and I didn't really think there was enough wrong with me to warrant seeing a doctor...

If you feel like things aren't right for you now please seek help asap, don't leave it until it gets worse.
