Anxiety.

[JDGarza]

I’m not really as depressed anymore as I am anxious. I’m going to see a psychiatrist and I’m so nervous. There are any number of things he could potentially diagnose me with. I’m thinking ADD, an eating disorder, clinical depression, I mean I really don’t think it’s gonna be good news.

I started off on fire a couple of weeks ago wanting to do all these things like getting my driver license as well as the GED and still am trying so hard to get them done, but it’s taking so long and am just getting frustrated with the process and that frustration is starting to boil over.

My dad told me I’m frustrated because I want to be. Why would I wanna be? I don’t. The dude doesn’t listen. I can’t talk to him about anything. He is terrible at giving advice. He thinks getting my GED is gonna be easy. I’m struggling mightily with basic stuff HOW IS IT GONNA BE EASY? TELL ME. It’s not.

I don’t know how I’m gonna survive in college if I can even get to that point.

Let me start with the psychiatrist part first. The way I’d look at it is like this, no matter what the psychiatrist diagnoses you with, at least then you will know what you are dealing with and then you can hopefully get on the right medication to begin to help. The part about your dados that while he doesn’t understand, it’s hard for someone who hasn’t dealt with it to know what your going through and that’s why you need to try and sit down and talk very bluntly and openly about it. He can either listen and try to understand or he can ignore it. It will have to start with you though if you want it to be better.
