Hey there! I’m a first time poster, but I’m definitely not new to anxiety. I recently turned 18, and I’m currently in the process of trying to get onto medication without anyone my parents knowing. My anxiety is intensely crippling, and it’s only getting worse, so after talking with my therapist, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to take matters into my own hands.

I was hoping some of you guys could help lead me through the process of finding a doctor and setting this kind of things up because I’m a teenager who knows quite literally nothing about the real world and how to navigate it. What are the steps I need to make? How do I navigate it? 

I’m on the insurance Cigna if that helps.
