How do I go about telling my parents this?
I am 17 years old and I have done a lot of reseach on Social Anxiety Disorder and the symptoms have hit the nail right on the head with me. Even in my last question everyone seemed to think I have it. But my parents are going through a tough time right now because my dad is having work problems. I don't want to make things any worse than they already are! Should I just wait to tell them? I don't want anyone to think any less of me if I do.

I mean up in till these last few days I've never seen it as a problem. But now that I read that most people with it don't realize that it IS a problem makes me feel I should talk to someone.
Answers:
No, don't wait. Sit down & talk to them about it (together if possible). You sound very intelligent; tell them about your research & how you're feeling. I'm SURE your health & happiness are tops on their priority list, regardless of any temporary financial problems they are having right now. Good luck!
