I have reaserched it online and I tick all the boxes for both severe social anxiety and severe dysthymia. I've tried telling my parents many times, but they don’t belive me. I really want to get help, I really want to see if this is something that I need treatment for or if I’m just fooling myself. The only problem is that I don’t know how to ask for the help I think I need. I’ve also become quite scared to talk about this since nobody ever think I’m telling the truth. I’m afraid that I’ll just sound like the only thing I want is attention. 

Do you have any tip as of how I can get my parens to belive me and how I can get the courage to actually talk about this to someone? I really want to stop locking myself up because I am afraid of everything around me
