I dont know ...

I suppose I just want something to be wrong with me.

I feel so weird, I know for a FACT that none of my friends feel the way that I feel at the moment.

My mother has set her heart on deciding that it is just hormones.
I feel that the doctor and phycologists feel that it is something else.

I want them to be able to treat me with something, I want to know that everything is under control, I want them to know for sure what is is.

It can't be hormones.
Otherwise Why is no one else I know feeling like this.
ARRRRRGHHHH ...
Why os everything so horrid :mad:

I remember feeling that way for many years. I was diagnosed with dysthymia, or chronic depression, once, but my parents refused me treatment - so I spent a long time afterwards thinking that they were right, there wasn't anything 'wrong' with me, and therefore it must be just hormones and for that I have no right to complain.

I spoke to many professionals of all sorts; counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists... They all agreed that I needed help, but none of them were able to offer an explanation of my experiences, in a manner that made sense to me. I went to therapy at some point as well; it didn't work at all.

Eventually, I started to gain an understanding of the dynamics behind the depression itself, for myself. It was nothing that any professional had mentioned in the past, but ay least it made sense - even though many elements remain absurd and obscure, I finally found a place to begin my journey to understand myself and my relationship to the external world.

For me personally, the nature of the cause is no longer important in any experience, it is the nature of the experience in question that should be given concern. Many paths can lead to the same destination, and contrary to popular belief, the presence of 'teenage hormones' do not alter the very true reality that one is mentally unwell and unable to function to the best of their ability.

However - one thing to keep in mind - most effects are a combination of many causes. The only person capable of understanding you completely is yourself; mental health professionals and treatments are only there to support you in doing so.

Can you see someone without parental permission?
