What am I? How do I talk to my therapist about this? (Kinda Long)?
Feb 17th
So I’ve been suffering with general anxiety disorder since I was about 9 (I’m 15 now). I wasn’t medicated for the panic attacks until three years ago, 0.25 Xanax. I recently started going to therapy for depression. My counselor is thinking i’m bi-polar. but I haven’t told her all of my symptoms. She hasn’t asked either but I don’t know how to bring it up in one of our sessions. I’ve only told one of my friends everything.
When I was young (3-9) I heard voices. It wasn’t like one person in my head telling me what to do, It was like…everyone screaming at once. Sometimes the same thing and I could understand them sometimes they all said something different and it was harder to decipher what they were saying. Around my ninth birthday they stopped or at least I can’t remember them then but recently (8 months or so) they’ve come back. It’s still like everyones screaming at once; almost never saying the same thing. I also started having these visions of sorts. almost hallucinations but not as vivid as everyone says they are. I can feel them but I can’t see them like there right in front of me but I see them in my head, if that makes sense? They really scare me. I can’t go to sleep at night because I can’t close my eyes because in my head theres this little bald man that sits at the edge of my bed with just his eyes peeking over and watches me. I have to open them to make sure he’s not really there.
Is this just because of my Anxiety or is it something more? Do I need to tell me therapist and if so, How do I tell her?
Thanks so much for your answers. they mean allot to me. I’m really kind of scared.
Thanks So Much guys! I had Anxiety before the voices and visions so I don’t think they caused it but schizophrenia can cause panic attacks. We will see, I guess. I don’t have a problem telling her and I don’t have a problem with people knowing, but I don’t want to freak my parents out. There having issues with the possibility of Bi-polar. I just didn’t know how to approach it. Just come out blunt and say it or…. I just didn’t know. My next app. is tomorrow morning, I guess i’ll tell her then. Thanks so much, again!

For people who have been diagnosed with a form of mental disorder?
Feb 13th
Just gathering information for research, some of you may not be comfortable answering, that’s ok. 
e.g. Depression, Anxiety, panic attacks, Bi-polar disorder, Schizophrenia, etc.
1.) What were you diagnosed with?
2.) At what age were you diagnosed? From a young age, teenage years, adulthood?
3.) Do you believe that your symptoms and diagnosis of this disorder could have been brought on by any of the following: relationship problems, hardships, mistreatment or unfortunate events that happened in your life? (If you want you can elaborate.)
4.) Addition to question #3: If these hardships hadn’t occured, do you feel that you would never have been diagnosed with this disorder?
Thanks.

i think i have social anxiety disorder aka S.A.D?
Feb 1st
im 13 and ever since i was little i’ve been extremely nervous around new people,and people in general.
i spend every summer break in my house,i dont go on vacations because people stare at me and whenever someone judges me i break into tears it’s hard for me to go to school i often skip class to sit by myself in a bathroom stall or i leave and get my step dad or a relative to pick me up halfway through the day i have one friend who has been my friend since i was 5 she’s the only person who comes to my house ever i dont think i’ve ever really had other friends except for acquaintances i spend all day on the computer
how do i know for sure if i have S.A.D?do i have to talk to a shrink?
i know you might be thinking "you’re just an ugly little girl who hates life and is a loner"
im not that ugly and i know but walk my shoes for a day and you would know that something isn’t right
i’ve never met my dad
could that have something to do with this?
i also have read that if it goes too long without treatment then there can be depression that takes over and lately i’ve been feeling depressed about my physical features sometimes i just lay down in my bed all day and cry
i tried to be normal by getting a facebook and then i even put a pic up i got a comment saying "wow"
i knew they were tryign to insult me so i cried then i closed my facebook down
it took me weeks to get over that one comment
does this sound like how u feel if u have s.a.d??
i also do drugs and from what i’ve read tht is associated with s.a.d
i dont know wut a GP is and i dont hve a fmaily doctor
or a doctor
im a spoiled brat with a lotta health care and sh*t

Can some with PTSD be fine, but experience severe anxiety symptoms after seeing or talking to certain people?
Jan 31st
I was diagnosed with an social anxiety and panic disorder. One therapist from the past believes I have PTSD. However, I’m not sure, because I always seem to get better, and my anxiety will start to decrease and I will honestly begin making plans to improve my life. However, when I speak to the parent who was very abusive towards me as a child, I immediately begin to have the severe anxiety and depression symptoms like clock work. Even my speech is effected, to the point where I begin to stutter as I did during my childhood, and can barely talk to this parent. My muscles also become very tense and I’m left sore the next day.
Afterall, if the severe symptoms only surface when speaking to this parent or other abusers. If I have no symptoms when staying away from these triggering people. is it really ptsd? Has anyone else experienced these drastic changes in mood and anxiety as well?
