Hey, I'm 17 and for a range of reasons (can't be bothered writing them at the moment) I think I have social anxiety disorder. I want to see a psychologist because I feel like its affecting my life badly, but I can't talk to my parents about it at all! I can't tell them anything. They get angry or annoyed at how I act or what I do often, but they don't understand what's going on in my mind. We moved to Australia recently & being in a different place & new school & everything is making things so much worse & I feel so uncomfortable all the time!
I keep meaning to ask about seeing the guidance councillor but when I'm at school I talk my self out of it and tell myself that it's not a big enough deal, but it is and I hate it!!!!
