I know I need help and I'm going there for support, how can I take it seriously and get the help I need?

 hi. dont worry hun.
the doctor is there to help you out, he will know is something is up or not and he/she will be able to help you, he/sge knows what he/she is doing and they will be able to give you the best help and support possible as they are trained for the situation. theres nothing to worry about, i was like you the first time i whent to the doctor on my own and when i got there he was freindly and very helpfull. take care. chris

 be honest. doctors who deal with mental behavior, it's a bit harder to fake if something is wrong. It's not like faking a temp. I'm a behavior analyst. What I do is take history's of behaviors and link them all together to find out the cause of behavior. This is part of the reason I remain single. The more I learned the more poor behavior patterns would be like signs flashed in front of my face, even during regular conversations. So a doctor who's trained in depression, even if your laughing will see that as a coping sign because your eyes didn't follow within the same path.
You'll so well at the doctor. Just be honest and tell them what's going on so the proper diagnosis can be made. Take care.
