Brief Answer:
Please share your symptoms with parents soon

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
Good day.
HAve you discussed your symptoms with your parents or your regular doctor?
Are you on any medicines other than insulin ? How is your diabetes control.
I am concerened after reding your symptoms and strongly encourage you to reveal this to your parents/doctor or teachers. You may need to go and meet a doctor who deals with mind or your general practioner ( GP). He will need to ask you few questions before a clear diagnosis can be made. It is not normal for some one to hear and see things that others don't.
Please seek help from your GP soon

My parents know about the voices and animals. No just insulin. The control is not the best but it is better than I have ever had it. I have seen a person from CAMHS and they say that it is nothing to worry about but I don't believe them and they told me that last year and it has gotten worse since then.
Yours sincerely

Hello

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I strongly feel that it is very important that you see a good psychiatrist. The person you saw at CAMHS was a psychiatrist or a nurse practioner ?.
A Psychiatrist will surely be able to analyze your symptoms and help you. Please stay calm and practice some relaxation exercises as well.

Brief Answer:
A doctor visit is mandatory...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Just ignore those voices. You are precious and your family and friends need you. We were all born in this world for a reason and the world want us here. Please avoid sitting alone anywhere and avoid isolated places. Watch comedy movies, spend time with friends.

Relaxation exercises are for mind and body. Try simple stretching exercises. Practice yoga and meditation. Listen to a soothing chineese bamboo music in You tube.

But you should certainly meet a good psychiatrist and discuss further.

I wish you all the success in life and just want to remind you again that you are precious and the world want you here.

Regards
Binu
