I’ve never taken meds before, the most I’ve had was some visits to my old psychologist but it was usually just counselling and a bit of therapy. I’ve stopped seeing her since I felt it was useless though.

But rn as things are escalating badly, I’m basically unable to function normally - I panic so much everyday or nearly everyday, and the physical symptoms (especially when I’m out of my house) are killing me. It’s making me feel emptier and emptier about my life as well.

I’m asking if I would need meds because recently I’ve taken some action to get actual help but I haven’t scheduled an appointment date yet. Also, I’m under 18 so apparently I need my parents consent to be on meds (at least in my country) and the problem is that I do not want them knowing about any of this.

Any advice/thoughts are welcome.
