i think I have OCD or anxiety, or even both.
I have all of the symptoms of OCD and most of the syptoms of GAD. I need to know whats going on with me, or if its even either of these disorders because I also have audio hallucinations. Do I go to my GP or what? I could go to my school counsellor but she wouldnt be too clued in on disorders, plus she's end up ringing my mum.
I woudl prefer not to tell my friends because when i told them i had depression they didnt really take it serisouly, they just thought I was having a bad day.
one of my friends took me serisouly but she coudlnt really do anything except encourage me to get help. I didnt know where to go for help to I ended up not getting help at all, and reading on the internet how to make it better.
Basically what im saying is, if my friends took me seriously they wouldnt know what to do anyway.
Where do I go?

Well I cant be sure how it works in Ireland, but here in England you would go to your GP first and they would refer you on to an adolescent counselling service.

Cool thanks. I'd say it's around the same thing.
