Hi Robyn firstly be very proud of yourself for going to Dr. You are so young and I

Think it's very positive that you are taking this positive step towards getting well.

I think it's natural to be a bit overawed at first, often acknowledging how we really

Feel is a big big plus in itself, it's daunting but you are getting help early. So

Think of this as a great start. There is a lot we can do for ourselves once we

Look at what our issues are.

I would definitely try Therapy and see how it goes, don't be scared, and I think

You are amazing for your age. Also talk about your progress with your Mum

If you can.

Stick around and we will be here for you too.

hey hannah! thank you for the lovely comments, i'm glad i decided to get help :) the doctor was male (which im glad of because all the female doctors are too peppy to talk ot about things) and he was great. he put me at ease and he said to come see him anytime!

ill maybe try thearapy first and see how it goes, but he was explaining that there are two meds, the one that works in your head and the other for physical attributes such as sweating and palpitations (which appealed to me) so im still a bit unsure of what ill do.

My mums not been that supportive, and she doesnt really understand but i feel bad because shes keeping it a secret from my dad because i asked her too (the spilt up and it would be bad if he found out a later date knowing my mum kept that from him, hes still my parent and should know) but i feel hed over react and i want to keep it on the down low :/

thanks again and i hope youre doing well :)
