Hi so I’ve been freaking out because I get really anxious talking to people and I also noticed I have some adhd symptoms (because I’ve been having a hard time completing my homework). I was super worried because I’ve seen so many people talk about all these kids on TikTok faking mental illnesses because idk they think they are cool or something. I was worried people would think I’m doing that if I asked to speak to a therapist about these things and I’ve also been thinking what if I have in fact fabricated this in my mind and I actually have no problem and I do just want attention.
After really worrying about it for over a week, I finally worked up the courage to tell my mom about my concerns and that I wanted to see a therapist. The basically reaffirmed my fear saying that I am overthinking everything about it and that I might have just made myself think I have adhd from looking it up. Now I’m freaking out and I feel a bit crazy. I might just be trying to make excuses for my poor behavior I don’t know what do I do?
