Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Saying counselors are not good is wrong. They are doing what ever they can, But your problem is beyond their capacity. Your doctor was right in opining that you better don't take anti depressants because of your young age.

You lived without much problem and without medications for three years!!! Understand. That itself is a confidence boosting thing you had in your life. You do not need medication. You need positive attitude.

Concentrate on your studies and career, don't think unnecessarily. Psychotherapy should be suitable to you. You can meet a trained psychologist. visit http://psychocure.webs.com/

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
