I think I'm depressed. How can I get diagnosed?!
Question: I think I'm depressed. How can I get diagnosed?
I feel as if one side of my is dead, but the other side is still alive and barely hanging on. I don't wanna be here. I don't know where I wanna be. I don't wanna be at school where everyone judges me for and slight insecurity. I don't want to be at home where I'm labeled "crazy". I have to write 'I am Beautiful' on my mirror to convince me the slightest bit that I actually am. I eat once a day so I can reach my weight goal. Maybe the only goal I will ever reach one day. I hope one day I won't need a fake smile at school, because if I let them know I'm falling apart, they take it and turn it into some rumor. While I try to hang on, everyone else just lets go. I don't know how to get inspired.
Answers:
You should talk to your parents first. Ask for a doctor's appointment and he will give you medication for it. They will refer you to a psychologist or a counsellor. Many "medical" people will make sure you are ok. It will take a while, but eventually you get better. Trust me, I just went through this whole thing. Not fun, but it works. If you have any questions about anything or just want to talk, please message me or contact me. I want to help people who have been in my same situation. Take care! You will feel better soon!!
My own experience with being diagnosed
I was diagnosed with OCD and social anxiety by seeing a counselor but you can also talk to your pediatrician or a psychologist/psychiatrist.
I'd speak to your mom and have her call your family doctor/pediatrician and ask him to refer you to a counselor/psychologist/psychiatrist.
go to a doctor
