Undiagnosed

I have been battling on and off with what I, and my friends who have these illnesses, believe to be anxiety, panic, and depression, and a few others I don’t want to share. Now, I’m not saying I’m a professional and I’m diagnosing myself, but I do have 90 percent of the symptoms that come with these, sometimes more.
I want to get diagnosed and get the help I need, but I don’t know how to bring this up to my parents. (I am 15 years old) I don’t talk to my dad much because he will just get mad or overly worry and freak out and I cant handle that.
In all honesty, I was talking to my friend about me contacting a mental hospital and asking to get help, because I cant do this anymore. At nights, I cry myself to sleep, wanting to die, wanting to cut myself, wanting to do suicide (which I have attempted 3 times. My parents don’t know because I would wake up after trying to overdose on pain pills and act like I was sick and stay home).. I panic over the smallest things and leaving my house drives me crazy, wondering what people think of me, or if they even notice me.

I’m so close to falling off the edge and attempting suicide again. I need to get help.. I think a mental hospital might be my only chance.. I know I need help.. my friends know I need help.. what should I do? Should I continue battling on my own? Should I tell my parents and get yelled at? Or should I try to contact a place and get help on my own?

I've been in your place. Please, no matter how painful or scary you need to tell your parents. If you contact a place on your own they will not take you seriously unless you have parents who also contact them because you are a minor. I know this seems really scary but you can do this. You will get help. It's going to be okay, I promise. But please, get help.

I believe in you. ♥ Trust me, I've been in the midst of pain. If you don't already, see a counselor at school and PLEASE talk to your parents. Your parents just want to look out for you and only want the best for you. I know that it's hard. If you have trouble telling them, write a note. Don't battle this on your own, you need to get professional help, it's for the best. I'm here for you if you need to talk about anything, anything at all. Just please don't think that you're alone. You can do this.♥ Sending my love.

Your counselor at school is obligated to tell your parents. If you go to your regular physician, and talk to them about getting help, they can discuss the option with your parents without telling them exactly what's going on. Mental Hospitals are honestly not the best unless you are COMPLETELY unstable and incapable of functioning enough to balance a psychologist and your every day life. My inbox is always open, and my advice tumblr is link if you'd rather chat anonymously. Good luck <3

Im so sorry, I completely understand. But even though it seems so scary and difficult, talk to your parents. None of it is your fault, and you need the help, they should understand. You will be okay ♥
