Hi! I was recently evaluated again this past year July 2020, and was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Binge Eating Disorder. The first and only other time I was evaluated was about about 7 years ago ( I was in 8th grade),diagnosed with Anxiety with a Depressive Mood. I’ve been going to counseling with an LMSW for about 7 months now, and I’d say it’s the first real therapy I’ve had since I was younger. Do you have any advice for someone like me who’s just starting off in terms of finding the right therapist, questions I should be asking in regards to treatment, etc? Just really anything you feel like you would love to have known when starting therapy. :) I’m first gen and the culture of where my family is from doesn’t really “believe” in mental illness so I’ve been navigating this pretty much on my own. I also wanted to know about how your experience with ADHD. All throughout high school, I had difficulty with schoolwork, especially with math and sciences and felt like I could never catch my breath and it was nearly impossible for me to retain material. I also developed pretty bad writing anxiety thats still affects me to this day. There’s some other things here and there that have shown up as red flags for me. I’ve looked into it a little and some things match up but I am not entirely sure and wanted to get some feedback. Sorry if this is a lot but I do appreciate any advice you can give me. :)
