Ok, I just talked to my Mom. She said that she’ll make an appointment with an OB/GYN for the next day off she has. She’s pretty concerned about it, so that’s one hurdle taken care of.  
But I’m still scared. ☹

It’s okay to be scared. The thought that there might be something wrong is a scary one.

Since you’ve decided to go to the doctor, can I make another suggestion? Be sure to see the doctor ALONE, without your mom present, and if you can, take the opportunity to discuss with him/her the other stuff going on in your life. Hormones may be only _part_ of the problem, and the doctor may be able to give you some good ideas on how to deal with any other issues.
