the hardest part of my day-to-day life is not knowing my actual mental diagnosis bc i’ve been neglected of mental health care by my mom & i can’t afford therapy it’s great

to be clear, i was diagnosed with anxiety & depression by a therapist when i was 15. i was forced to see a crisis psychiatrist after my doctor was sus about my ED. my ED was NEVER brought up & she asked me cookie cutter questions.

the psychiatrist got the answers she wanted and threw me into the world without a lick of a clue what to do to help myself. i’m still learning bc i have had zero help since then. i have basically no friends & my bf doesn’t know anything/won’t learn for me

my mom hasn’t wanted to get me help since either. she put me on birth control when i was 16 to “balance my hormones” bc she refused to believe i was ill. i just stopped taking them a few months ago bc they made my mental state worse

idk the point of this thread other than to overshare & cry for mental health help
