ok so im 15/f and i think i might have some mental health problems, not like crazy but i have anxeity attacks, alot of people say i have OCD, i think i might have ADD, but also my family thinks im a hypochrondriac so its hard to convince them somethings wrong with me. i want to get tested because i feel so different from my family. i cant concentrate when i do hw and study, i have a hard time retaining information, i can get moody really easily, i have panic attacks like monthly about school, life, anything can set it off, theres just so much that i feel that theres something wrong with me otherwise i wouldnt have all the problems. how do i get help, tested, and how do i convince my parents that somethings wrong with me? please help, i tried asking them for getting tested for ADD and they laughed and said i always think somethings wrong with me. please i rate 5's!
ok this is a hard one and i see you need some answers so i'll do my best...what I would do is tell your best friend whats up or simply show them this question you wrote.. then have THEM (your best friend) say something to your parents with you there as well.. when someone else notices something and can back you up maybe your parents will at least TRY to understand
say things like "maybe i don't have something wrong with me but i would feel so much better if i KNEW" until then you should write about stuff in a journal to get your stress out, usually before you go to bed
and when you start to cry or panic grab a pillow and just breath until you're breathing normal.. also get a lot of sleep, a good night sleep always makes a better day and so do healthy eating habits and other simple things like that. if you really want to help your problem you're going to really have to be confident when dealing with your parents. and DON'T FORGET to give your parents examples of WHY you feel like you might have something wrong.
i would read this answer more than once because there's a lot of information.. i hope it helped good luck!
