I don't know. If anything I know I have depression and anxiety but there are things I don't understand why I'm doing. All I know is that I'm increasingly unable to function and when my doctor strongly implied schizophrenia as a later possibility (though he didn't tell me he could give me a diagnosis with one visit) I got scared.
He's right. A label doesn't matter but when you don't understand what's wrong with you it's unnerving.
You are definitely doing the right thing by seeking professional help. I have panic disorder & depression and I had to go to a couple psychologists/psychiatrists before I found one where I felt comfortable & have made progress. I also had the experience of the first Dr not "labeling" my problem but it left me feeling like I was just plain crazy. (Or like my condition was so bad, he didn't want me to know.) It's always a benefit to know what it is you're dealing with.
You're are doing the right thing by getting help with your problems. You're not alone & I wish you success & piece of mind.
IIN my greatest fear is becoming a reality and I don't know what to do
