Hello! Hope You all Like this Story, it is an idea I have had for an while and will be in Leo's POV unless stated otherwise.
Coping With The Pain
Chapter 1 – Life changing Diagnosis
I sat in the hospital waiting room as I waited to see the doctor. I was by myself I couldn't get my parents to come with me in case the diagnosis is what I think it is. I hadn't wanted to come but it got to the point where I needed to know one way or another what was going on in my head.
Eventally the doctor called me in, it was a female doctor it wasn't a sensitive issue so I hadn't requested a male doctor. I looked at her name badge "Doctor Nina Pickering" she sat down on on a chair and requested that I sat in the one opposite her which I did.
"Hello Leo I am Doctor Pickering"
"Leo Fitzgerald"
"Right I understand you are here because you are concerned about your mental health?"
"Y..yes...for many years I have felt...I don't know its hard to explain"
"It's ok take your time"
"I have felt ...sad...but I don't know I can't be happy I try to be but I can't I feel it, I don't feel enjoyment about anything, I feel like I am in a dark room I can't escape from, I don't feel anything good"
"And you are fifteen yes?"
"That's right..., it's like this girl called Bonnie...I cyberbullied her and ...I felt nothing...because I feel nothing I know it makes me a terrible person but I can't help it"
"When did these feelings start?"
"A few years ago just after I turned twelve but it wasn't bad but then there was a lot of issues in my family and it kept getting worse and worse"
"I have been a doctor for many years so I can tell you have depression and badly from what I can gather"
"But...I am only fifteen I am kid...kid's don't get depression"
"Anyone can get depression Leo of any age I have met eight year olds with depression, it's an illness"
"My parent's won't think I have it they are still mad about the bullying thing they will think it's attention seeking"
"If it makes it easier maybe you can come with your parents and I can explain, none of this is your fault Leo"
"It is I shouldn't be like this I make everyone miserable"
"That isn't true, unless someone has had depression they have no idea what it feels like they can't judge you"
"So...what now do I get anti-depressants?"
"That's the thing Leo...you are only fifteen we aren't allowed to give prescriptions to anyone unless they are eighteen or with an adult"
"But you said yourself I need them"
"I am sorry Leo you will have to come back with your parents I can't give them to you I could get in huge trouble for it"
"But I can't bring my parents"
"Then bring another adult who is related"
I stood up thanking the doctor and leaving wondering what I was going to do, of course I could just take my parents but as I told the doctor I wasn't sure they would believe me, Justin my brother is eighteen but he is a no no our relationship is strained right now plus he would tell mum and dad which is exactly what I don't want to happen as I want to deal with it alone, then I thought of the one person who could help me out of this situation...My best friend Mandy she's twenty two she would have no problem getting the tablets for me. I left the hospital getting the bus making my way to the clinic...
