Suggest Treatment For Stress, Depression, Panic Attacks And Negative Aggressive Thoughts
I've been dealing with a lot more stress than usual. Being at home and around my mother who cares more about my academics than my health, does not listen to me when i bring up my health in any conversation. I am trying my best in school, particularly Chemistry, yet i still do horribly on the tests and that just adds more stress because of my mom bombarding me with meetings with people i don't want. I don't know what to do. Because of this stress, i have already had too many panic attacks that she just takes for asthma- which i have been tested for and do not have- as well as depression that has been worse than before. I have had suicidal thoughts and thoughts of running away and thoughts of killing something or someone, and all this emotional build up reaches its peak after a while and i completely breakdown. I recently had an emotional breakdown and have not fully recovered from it so i am in a rather more emotionally unstable situation. I dont know what to do. Help.

Hello thanks for choosing HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. A lot of school goers face similar problems while dealing with their parents. You have to understand this things that parents can be rigid but they show rigidness only for welfare of their children. I can understand your mental status when your mother ignores your health and she relate the panic attacks with asthma. But if you want to make her aware about your problems and go and talk with her directly. Explain her about the symptoms you are having like persistent stress, depression, negative thoughts, suicidal ideas, thoughts of killing someone, emotional breakdowns etc. If you cant talk with her directly then talk to your father or other family member of home and the discuss with your mother. Ask her that you want to consult a psychiatrist for your problem and there should be no stigma in consulting a psychiatrist.
The symptoms you have mentioned suggest moderate to severe depression and these need proper evaluation and treatment. Talk to her and then visit a psychiatrist for help.
Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
