Undiagnosed Navigating Mental Health Challenges Alone

[Gena14009]

Hi, everyone! My name is Genavieve, but you can just call me Gena. I just signed up and I have no idea what I'm doing. I am self-diagnosed with PTSD and depression. I would seek out a professional diagnosis for both of those, but my parents are relatively anti-therapy and convincing them is too exhausting. I don't know what else to put so... yeah. Can someone please help me out?
