Hello! i'm new here. i've had SA for many years now and i would say it's pretty bad. there are family members i don't even talk to! they make me feel very un-comfortable and i don't understand why but they do.
I haven't been diagnosed with SA by a doctor. Do i need to be diagnosed? how do you get a diagnosed? i've had doctors tell my mom they think I have SA from how i act when i'm in the office and my reg doctor is always trying to put me on antidepressants or some kind of drug for SA but no one in my family does good on those things....but I don't have a life because of my SA. no friends, no job, no life.. and its all just starting to make me really depressed and i'm not really sure how to seek help anymore...but i'm hoping this place will help with some of that
