Hello to everyone. ^_^ Thanks to whoever built this site, what a great
resource; you just made my day. Some background on me: I've been
battling a whole score of potential mental issues since I was very
young. Nothing officially diagnosed, but my list would be: depression,
anxiety, post traumatic stress, possibly Asperger's Syndrome, plus my
friend who's a psychologist-in-training thinks I should be tested for
schizophrenia 0_0
In other words, I have issues, which I am finally able to admit after
being suicidal a few times. I'm thinking about seeking some kind of
medical help, and everyone says "Talk to your doctor!" . . . what kind of
doctor, specifically? I called a psychiatrist and the soonest anyone can
get me in is 6 months from now, which is well after school starts (I'm a
college student). Plus I have no way of paying for that, or any drugs or
therapy, on my own, and I would never be brave enough to ask my
parents. So basically, what now? I have no idea where to even start. Any
advice is welcome and appreciated.
