Im even going red and panicky writing this now... any help?
Hello and thanks for writing in. I understand that you are quite distress by your psychological problems. From your brief description, I can see that you seem to be suffering from depressive as well ad anxiety symptoms. You haven't given many details about your depressive symptoms except that multiple self assessment tools were indicative of the same. However, you seem to have a lot of anxiety symptoms such as nervousness, feeling panicky, going re, etc. Since you seem to be very affected b these symptoms, I would advise you to seek professional help. You can ask your parents or guardian to take you to a psychiatrist for a consultation and further treatment. There are good treatment options, with medication and counselling which can help you come out of your problems. Best wishes,
