Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Yes, but not anyone: You might mean a lover or special friend - and that might be nice but it's more impt to find a good psychotherapist. If you need Rx, they can refer for it. A trained support will be the safest way to eval and treat your condition. Being young, this is a very valuable thing for the rest of your life! Best wishes.
