Hello. I am starting to feel myself fall into a depression episode. I am trying to see good in life, but it's hard. I currently am seeing a social worker twice a month at most, but I'm technically not allowed to see her anymore, but she knows I'm struggling. I have no therapy outside of this. My life is going downhill again. My parents are still fighting over custody issues, and I have to see my lawyer four more times. I don't want to see a lawyer. I've already seen her and expressed my opinion. I am sick and tired of my family fighting. My life is so complicated. I need this to settle so I can see a new pdoc. My last appointment with my current pdoc is end of May. I try to see the good. Only a few things are keeping me going. I wish life was good again.

Social anxiety disorder, GAD, OCD, and panic attacks

Lexapro, 10 mg

I don't know about Canada, but here in the USA we have Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) to represent children's best interests during court proceedings ... It certainly is hard on kids having to go through their parent's divorces and a lot of times the parents get so caught up in their own pettiness that they don't know or care about how much the children are suffering because of it ... I hope you can find and continue to get the proper care and support that you need!

Thanks for this!

Thanks everyone. So I saw my lawyer today and it she said that it's not settled (obviously) because if it was, I wouldn't have to see her again. But apparently I have to because my parents don't believe that my siblings and I are telling the truth on what we want. This makes me extremely upset. How can I trust my parents if they can't even trust me on where I want to live? It makes me so mad . This is one of the reasons why I have trust issues.

Nike, I notice you are in Canada. Fortunately we have I think a lot more choices regarding our physical and mental health. I am not sure why you are seing a social worker when you are entitled (with a Pdoc referral) to a Therapist.

I see a social worker because it is provided free at my school and it was pretty easy for me to see her.

I am trying to find a new pdoc, but no one will accept me because my parents are going to trial for custody and financial issues from their divorce, which apparently limits my access to treatment. I don't really get it.
