It's normal. If you can't trust anyone, perhaps a forum or online support group would help.
It's also normal to be wary of professions and friends. A professional whether they're independent or working at a school, if you're a minor than you have little to no rights. The last psychiatrist I had used "mind games" on me and would lie. There's supposed to be patient confidentiality, but he broke the law. I would tell him something and he said that he couldn't tell my family, but as I got older I started to notice things. After everything I said, he would insist that I brought my whole family in there! He'd basically tell them what I had said and ask for their views or if I was "lying"! True, it got to the point where I would lie to him because I couldn't trust him. I'm sure I have a mental illness or two, but he misdiagnosed me and refused to listen to my concerns. He once tricked me into saying I was suicidal and demanded to know if smoked weed! You really need to be careful with doctors!
Is it normal I'm afraid to tell my family I'm crazy?
