Nah, you don't have to see anyone in particular, but if there's a doctor you feel more comfortable with, then you can request to see them. You definately wouldn't have to tell your colllege, but you could tell your tutor if you feel like you could use their support. Since you're 16, the doctors can't tell your parents unless they think you're a danger to yourself or someone else. You could always phone up your doctors surgery anonymously and check, or phone NHS direct.I waited until I was 18 so that I knewfor sure they wouldn't be able to contact anyone about me. Don't worry about asking questions, I'm glad I can help

I made an appointment with my doctor and when I went in to see her, I told her that I'd been feeling really low for several months and told her all the symptoms I was having like feeling low, being tearful, not wanting to do things that I used to enjoy, feeling suicidal, self harming etc. I was so nervous that I prettymuch just blurted it all out as soon as I sat down haha! She was really nice though, and gave me a questionaire to fill out, prescribed me some antidepressants and asked me to come back in a week to see how I was getting on. If you're thinking about telling your doctor, it might be helpful to write down all the symptoms/problems you've been having incase you forget when you get in there. It took me a couple of attempts to actually tell my doctor, the first time I tried, I ended up asking to go on the contraceptive pill, and the second time I pretended I was there about one of my piercings that had gotten infected. It was third time lucky for me I guess

Yeah of course that's okay. I only really know from my own experiences, but I'll try to help

sounds fun

You're welcome!
You really do have great things to say - I was just reading some other thing and wondered who had written it and wow, it was you again ;D
I haven't posted anything in awhile cos school has been in the way and I usually like to take my time when posting stuff. Atm I'm just lurking every now and then.
