ive been researching around and i kinda noticed how i might have social anxiety disorder
right now i got lot of other medical stuff going on and my parents are already busy enough to keep up with those...
its not like serious as to interfere my life but it seemed to be getting more serious by the year...
i have 2 more years of school and ill be 18... should i wait until then to visit a psychiatrist and stuff? or should i ask my parents about this?
one other thing is im afraid of what my parents will think when i tell them whats going on in my head... i'd rather wait til im on my own
but yeah any advices?

Social anxiety is something you shouldn't leave to rest & grow.

Trust me ;), it turns into a yawning hole that eats you up slowly..

Tell your parents if you can't get help in any other way, the best way to deal with your problems is to face them when they arise, waiting is an excuse.

yeah whenever i have a free time my mind starts racing with weird and mostly negative thoughts... i try to distract myself with tv or computer but it doesnt help in the long run... i want to go bak to school where i can actually focus on smthing else for 8 hours and not have all the free time to think about useless concerns rite now during my summer break
i really need help... i dont think i can ask my parents tho it is frightening to thkn about wht ppl would think about me when they know i am mentally ill

In awhile people will know by just seeing your behaivour

Is there any way you could not tell your parents if you feel so uncomfortable with it
