Aa
really need help im so scared
Nothing and I mean nothing seems real anymore my own mum n dad don't seem like my own texting and writing on this doesn't seem real I feel like I'm living in a dead body or something I need cures now !!!
Heya thanks and ye I'm going to try and move doctors to my dads one and I can't move to a larger city lack of money for that but will let you know what happens
Since your doctor(s) are blowing you off, I strongly advise you to find new doctors as soon as possible. Call your local hospitals Physician Hotline and ask for the names of doctors who deal with anxiety issues in young people. You don't say where you live, so if it's a small town, you may have to get to a larger city to find the kind of doctors who will treat you and your symptoms seriously. A hassle, for sure, but it's better than being told "it's all in your head."
Anxiety/panic/depression and depersonalization are definitely NOT all in our head and for them to keep telling you that without doing any tests to rule out other causes borders on malpractice in MY humble opinion. You deserve far better care than that!
Don't allow any doctor to treat you like you're just an hysterical, hormone driven teen-ager whose being overly dramactic and seeking attention. That dx is a total crock!
In todays world, we all must be very pro-active in our own heath and mental care.
Please keep in touch and let me know how you're getting on, OK?
You do have other options, but let's see what your new doctor(s) have to say first.
Be strong.
Peace

We meet again, Vicky.........with more symptoms. I would now add that it sounds like you're also dealing with episodes of depresonalization/derealization.
You can't get cures until you get a diagnosis and you can't get a diagnosis until you see a doctor.
You need to tell your parents IMMEDIATELY what is happening and that you want/need to see a doctor.
Be prepared for your parents to not understand completely what you are going through. Anxiety/panic is very difficult to explain to someone who has never experienced it.
Find some really reliable information on anxiety & panic and depersonalization, (I recommend the Mayo or Cleavland Clinics) print it out for your folks to read so they know these terrible symptoms are real. Tell them your life is a nightmare and ask for their help.
I'm sure they will do everything they can.
Please let me know how you're doing, OK? This WILL get better, I promise.
