<p>Just so you know I copied and pasted this from Yahoo Answers which is reason why it is short and kinda dumb sounding…they are different type of people</p>
<p>Okay so long story short I am petty sure I have a major case of Social Phobia. And I found some medicine that I think will really help me (Tranylcypromine or Phenelzine).</p>
<p>So now the hard part…how do I tell my parents and who should I tell them to send me to. Please help! I am only 15 by the way</p>
<p>Just do it.
“Mom, I think I need help… I find it hard to interact with people… after some research, I think I might have disorder X, can we please see my doctor for this, perhaps he can prescribe some drug that will make things easier for me.”</p>
<p>And don’t let them tell you otherwise. If you truly believe you have it, convince them so.</p>
<p>A psychiatrist is what you’re looking for. Just tell your parents you’re having problems and would like to get help from a psychiatrist.
I’m guessing you’re an average middle class American, so there shouldn’t be much resistance from your parents. My guess is that you’ll meet the most resistance from the psychiatrist, but whatever.</p>
<p>
I lawled.</p>
<p>Remember my post: all limits are self imposed.</p>
<p>So you’re dyslexic and have OCD and Social Phobia.</p>
<p>^My “OCD” turns out to be Social phobia</p>
<p>You probably don’t have a phobia. Hypochondriasis can be just as problematic though. I’d talk to your parents about seeing a therapist.</p>
<p>Don’t push the medication thing. Plenty of mild disorders can be solved without medication, which is definitely for the best. Phenelzine is basically an antidepressant, which ironically often makes teens more depressed/suicidal. Don’t mess with the chemical balance in your brain if you can avoid it. Especially when you’re young.</p>
<p>LMAO! Sorry I copied and pasted the wrong thing…here is what the original post SHOULD have said…it will make more sense as to how it relates to the title…</p>
<p>I really want to go to Johns Hopkins and do Biomedical Engineering (idk why just feel as if I should).</p>
<p>My grades are bad and I am totally not motivated to do ANYTHING! I don’t like dealing with all the stupid people and I just hate being at my school. I really just want to do online high school then online college then an online job…</p>
<p>I HONESTLY don’t want to deal with any more people in my life (including family and friends).</p>
<p>What should I do?</p>
<p>PS I am 15 year old sophomore (if that makes a difference)</p>
<p>Hahah, I used to act like this. And I’m not even joking. I would never talk to anyone at all. Now that never happens to me anymore. But for some reason when it re-occurs I feel x10 times smarter.</p>
<p>^That was very confusing…</p>
