I have reason to believe beyond a reasonable doubt that I have panic disorder. I have done research on several sites and I have all the sympthoms.
I have suffered from it for about a year and a half, but I didn't start considering the fact that it could be a disorder until recently. I want to be properly diagnosed so I can get some help, because it's been really hard to handle by myself.
The problem is that since I'm 16, I need my parents' permission to do anything about it, and they won't help me. They refuse to believe that there is anything wrong with me. My mom has even told me that I'm doing this to myself, asks me why I don't just stop it, so I just stopped telling her about my panic attacks and my fears. Now, if I bring it up, she says, "I thought you were over that." My dad hates going outside the family for help in anything. What can I do to deal with this disorder? I have cried countless numbers of nights in frustration. How can I deal with this?
