Are you sure they won't try? If I did get diagnosed with anything I'd rather be miserable my whole life than lose her .....can they find out stuff like that ..like they won't know if I don't tell them right?

I'm sure you can even talk about her and that you shouldn't try to hold out on something so important to you. I've been hospitalized with lots of people with kids. If she is safe with you than you have full parental rights. And honestly, I have a younger half-brother. Our father eventually lost rights for various reasons including planning to kidnap him and you wouldn't believe what it took for that to happen. Much, much more than just discussing some symptoms of possible mental illness. Even then he was given lots of chances to redeem himself and regain visitation but chose to not do what the courts ordered. Believe me when I say that you would have to do so many things wrong, including felonies with underage girls, before anyone would even think of questioning your right to be with your daughter. And even then they give you chances to resolve things in various ways if there is a concern.

Just think about how much better you can be as a parent if you aren't dealing with difficult thoughts and not feeling well all the time. Getting help for her sake is a very valid reason.

Yeah you are right about gettng better for her idk I'm just scared in general

It is scary. I doubt there is anyone on these boards who wasn't scared at first. I was terrified. In fact I lied to avoid diagnosis for a while. But it is much, much better to know what is going on, to have medication and therapy for it if those things are needed and to find ways to feel better and live life. Honestly the living life part is still a work in progress for me as I've only been on the med that is really helping me about 7 months and we're still trying to work out the dosing (but I'm very hard to medicate, harder than most people) but even so it is so much better than it was.

Life can be good and normal and a lot less scary. Getting treatment is not easy but it pays off in the end.

Thank you hopefully I can get my fiance to help me with this i shouldn't have been scared to talk to them when I was little I was soon scared they would feed me more pills to take away my powers

You just have to remember they are trying to help, not hurt, and take it slowly if you need to.
