Didaskaleinophobia for six dark years

[scarlet135]

I am suffering from this anxiety problem known as Didaskaleinophobia or School Phobia. I have been struggling to reason with myself, trying to get better but nothing works.

Today however I'm going to school. Although I may back off at the last minute. My parents tried to take me to a psychologist but every time they tried I threw huge tantrums. My relatives, teachers and friends tried to help me with it. But nobody could.

At now, I've become really hopeless, developed depression, started to gain weight and lost interest in most of the things. It was this morning that I finally found out what my problem is called.

Please, someone give me some hope.

There are many different phobias and many on here can sympathize with what you are going thru.  I'm not a doctor but it sounds like you have symptoms of depression along with the phobia which is certainly understandable.  You truly need to seek professional help for therapy and/or medication.  There is so much help for you, and you don't have to live like this.  You're so young with so much living to do, don't let this pass you by.  It's a big step to see a professional for the first time, but it will be the most important step you will ever take. Just thinking about going is much scarier than actually doing it. Know you are not alone, and there are many caring people here who will offer support and share their experiences with you.  Decide to take back your life and seek help.  You deserve to have a happy life, fight for this.  Take care and we are always here to support you in this, so visit as often as you like.
