I think I found the right board now
Ok, people helped out on my other board saying I should see a therapist. I'll explain the situation, since I have nothing against them.
I began therapy in my final year of varsity after suffering years (since high school) with depression and anxiety. Varsitys in my country offer free counselling. However, my mental state effected my studies so I returned home. I am now continuing my studies through the post. However, I no longer have access to free counselling and cannot afford to pay for it. My parents paid for my studies and I did try to explain to them when my varsity psychologist diagnosed me with ptsd. They dont understand it, they think its only from 'shell shock' and I never was in battle or war or whatever. So yes. I gave up seeking support from them about it. I want to regain control over my life and so Im seeking support. I am finishing a course which will allow me to work next year. So hopefully by march I can go see a therapist
