I would like advice on what is wrong with me generally.. I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety but I don't feel thats it. I rarely feel anything for people such as sympathy or empathy but im incredobly sensitive if others criticise me. once I decide I like a person I make it my mission to get thwm to like me too, not ramantically just in general as friends. I go to extremes to be liked such as making myself cry and doing everything I can to appear a nice person. I also hate changes in my life. for example ive just entered second year of college and switched teachers. I really liked my first year teacher and was devastated to find out I didnt have her this year. I then went to see her and had my timetable changed to be in her lesson instead. I also hate uncertainty. for example I dont like not knowing what im doing the next day or not having plans.
I dont really get upset about anything atall it takes alot to make me cry but I can make myself cry easily. I dont like situations where I dont know how someone will react, I like knowing people well so that I can predict their responses when I speak to them.
I dont believe that this is in any way normal behaviour amd would like to know why im this way to sort it out.
my mum is an alcoholic but wont admit it so cant recieve help, this frustrates me alot and my father lives away but has severe anger issues and also lacks empathy from years of being in the army. I dont know whether its a genetic link but might be useful information.
thanks

Hello Imao

Welcome to PC.

I'm sorry you're going through a hard time right now and I can understand your need for some answers. You really need to speak to your doctor again if you don't think that you have the right diagnosis. There are some useful pages and quizzes on this site and although they can't give you a diagnosis they might help you think about the questions you want to ask your doctor.

Mental Disorders & Conditions - DSM
Psychological Tests and Quizzes

Have you been referred to a psychiatrist (pdoc), or your local mental health services?

hi iamo ,
the best advice I can offer to you is ask your doctor to refer you to a therapist or psychologist who can give you a psychological evaluation to make sure if its anxiety and depression that you have . my therapist diagnosed me with anxiety and w in my intake interview with her .then she performed a psychological evaluation that concluded that I have anxiety and depression along with ptsd .






Diagnosis: Anxiety and depression
meds : Cymbalta 60 mgs at night
Vistaril 2 25 mgs daily for anxiety prn
