I (15m) told my dad about what I have been going through for the past 2 years and he keeps dissmising it or saying that I'm scared and growing up. I told him he doesn't understand anything that I'm saying so I want a therapist. He started yelling and saying why would he waste his money for me to just talk to someone for an hour when I could just talk to him or my mom about it.
At this point I feel like he is adding to everything that is overwhelming me so I started writing everything that I'm thinking about down on my phone. I think everytime I write what I'm thinking down I rack up about 1000 words each time. Now I'm starting to worry if I'm on the brink of depression and I really don't try to think about that because I've seen what it has done to my older brother who committed suicide. I've seen how it effected/ affected? the people around him and I don't want it to get that bad
Can someone educate me on the types of anxiety because from the ones that I have researched I show  symptoms of all of them and I spoke with my dad about that also and he told me that I shouldn't self diagnose myself but when you look up anxiety the first thing it says is that it is self diagnose(able). Mind you he knows nothing about anxiety at all just the stuff that I told him I was experiencing.
