Hello. I was in the same boat as you (both same age, I'm female though, and INTJ).

I managed to get services, but my mom wants to believe it's a hormonal problem, but they found nothing and said "take this, then your problems will go away" basically so now I have to take this medication starting in January, but they have no clue.

Anyways, I am going to say it for the sake of you, but you should seek a professional. For me, I was sure I had social anxiety disorder, and became DXed with it once I seemed help and have been in therapy for a year but not its gone. I need to get referred for some other testing my pdoc doesn't do though.

But, what I have is below, but it mainly sounds like OCD related to the experience you had with the intruder. I am reading this book called "The Anxiety Survival Guide for Teens" by Jennifer Shannon. It's been really good and it helped me a lot today (I'm going to make a post on it). But, basically, like the example they used in the book, the one event that was negative has triggered anxiety over it happening again, though the odds are quite slim. You are starting to check locks to make sure there are no intruders, making sure no intruder can watch you. I think it has caused depression in you because all this anxiety has controlled your life to the point of depression. Social anxiety maybe if you said more things. I am unsure.

Anyways, maybe look into self help books for OCD and depression in the mean time? Try to cope on your own until you are older. Hope everything is well [emoji3].
