Hi
Glad you've found this place
I'm 19...I got put on meds last year even though I weren't too sure about them but I'd reached breaking point. I ended up coming off them because they really scared me and made me ill. My doc thinks it may be because of my age and the dosage was too high to start. (even though I'm over 18... I have a very short and slight frame so going on weight I think the dosage was too much).
If you're not sure on meds... I don't think it's a good idea if you're young either (how old are you, if you dont mind saying)... does anyone know that you harm yourself?
There's only you that can help yourself... you have to make the first step and tell someone how you feel.... maybe write a letter to a friend if you don't feel like speaking about it... ask them if they'll go with you to speak to your doc?
The guys on here will support you too
HONESTLY... talking to a councillor/therapist isn't that bad... they don't judge you, they don't tell anyone else what you've told them (they're legally not allowed).
Maybe the first step for you is to tell someone how you're feeling... either a friend or a member of your family.
Hope you find the courage

it'll be worth it
