Wouldn't a diagnosis be the first step to solving problems? If I do so, and it turns out I just like a bit of attention, then I shouldn't worry as much, and that's; well, every question answered. If I do, it confirms it and I can start working towards something that I know will have some worth..

I am not saying you don't need therapy, but you can't be diagnosed with a personality disorder as a minor because your personality is still elastic, still changing. It's not "locked in" so to speak.

You can still see a therapist and be diagnosed with something else if you really want some sort of diagnosis. But really, what are you looking for here? Yes, by talking to us you have acknowledged you have a problem because something in your behavior bothers YOU.

Why don't you forget about diagnoses and just tell us what is troubling you?

The fact that I probably couldn't sustain relationships (apart from my closest friends) without acting theatrically? Maybe that I have a feeling that something isn't really me? Or that almost every action I make is calculated to get someone to look at me?

or maybe I'm just annoyed that I want to be classified - do I have something, or do I not.

Do you consider someone hitting adulthood as soon as they are 18 years old?

LOL -- I personally don't think people magically become adults at 18.

I'm just telling you how it works.

I think you do have a lot of issues, and you would benefit from a good therapist. I do not think you would find much help with your issues here on psychforums.

If I were your therapist, which I am not, I would have 101 questions for you already, just based on your short responses. Are you in school? Do you have a school counselor?

I am in school, I'm sure there is some sort of school counsellor, but definitely no one that I would speak to, I think I'd prefer to be outside of a school environment before doing something like that.

This is really, really annoying me now, either way. I don't know how I'm going to act from now on, but if I act like I have been doing, its going to tear me apart infinitely.

Err, which part?

We have a school counsellor, yes. I however would not go for help from this person.

And then I said that the disorder - or whatever I'm doing to myself, is extremely annoying and screwing me up in the head.

You can seek outside help, without your parents knowing. You could get a reference from your school counselor, but I would ask him or her first what the policy is on notifying parents before you tell her or her anything. They are obligated to tell you the truth about what they disclose, and you should remind them that they can be sued if they are lying to you about sharing your therapist-patient relationship with your parents.

I am sorry that you feel screwed up in the head. I wish I could make a recommendation for you. I have been where you are. It was very hard for me at 16, mainly because of my parents.

I guess I can live for now.

I'm going to try and cut all of it again, cut the crap.

I've also been on here refreshing the page most of the night, ah, it shows. Bye.
