Question by : I went to my doctor earlier today, but I am confused about what is happening next?
Went to doctor earlier. Started becoming nervous in waiting room. When called, first refused to go in, and when I did go in, sat in silence on a chair in the corner of the room. Sighing, my mother took the seat next to the doctor and began to explain.

She explained how I could barely handle being outside anymore and I had severe panic attacks when in public places, and that it had been a struggle just getting me here. She said how I had not been sleeping. She said how I had not been eating. She said how I had been self-harming. She said how I had been extremely depressed. When the doctor asked how long this had been going on for, my mother said over a year. Which is true.

And about a year ago, I had been in this exact office, my mother saying to the doctor that I had begun self-harming. My doctor put it on my medical history and medical records, gave my mother some leaflets and told her to seek help. This time, the doctor asked my mother did I see a psychiatrist the first time, and my mother said no, because I hadn’t wanted the help. The doctor then said that because I was fourteen, they preferred to leave medication out of it, and offered me counseling.

I refused. I had went there on the basis on no medication and no therapy. Apart from this, I sat in silence, the doctor looking at me with worry every two seconds. Then the doctor asked, rather spontaneously, had I been experiencing delusions, hallucinations and/or paranoia. My mother said yes, and I said no, I didn’t, it was just no one would believe what I was seeing was real because they couldn’t see it. And it is real. But my mother said she was worried, because I was her daughter, and this was how her sister and mother started out. But my aunt and grandmother have schizophrenia, and I know I have nothing wrong with me. Because this is real. But would they listen? No, of course not.

The doctor then started looking really worried. She asked my mother quietly: “Would you like a referral?” My mother muttered yes, please. Then they spoke in hushed whispers. The only word I could make out was psychiatrist. And then the doctor started talking to all these different people on the phone, repeating the same thing. From the doctor speak, I could only make out that she was saying something about a fourteen year old girl, with severe panic attacks, paranioa, ideas, delusions, etc. Then she said something about faxing the information through on a form or something, and told my mother they would ring her later on today. My mother then went home and was discussing something with my step dad “in private” before.

Now I am confused. What the hell is happening? No one will tell me anything.
