Anddd I’m nervous as shit. It’s such a big step that I need to make and I want to make but it’s very much terrifying. I have to tell my mom about it as well (I’m 17) and I’m worried she’s going to freak out or get pissed off that I’m trying to get on meds. (She’s against me getting help because she doesn’t believe anything is wrong with me) 

Can my GP prescribe me meds and that be it? I don’t have money for a therapist or a psychiatrist or psychologist rn and I don’t think majority of that extra specialist stuff is covered with my insurance, so it’s useless to me to give me a referral. How do I make this known to them that I just want meds there and for them to stay in control of it? Is it possible? 

For context I’m struggling with anxiety, depression, possible ocd and adhd symptoms.
