Few things about me. Want to know more just ask.

I'm Alissa I am 14 years old and I have anxiety and depression. I came here because I cant go to a therapist. I cant go to a therapist because of my parents which are also why i am mentally unstable. my parents and sister think it is ok to betray and degrade me down like a piece of dirt. don't worry i don't cut i am too weak to, don't worry i don't starve too hungry too, don't worry that i am underweight I've always been, don't worry about looking for a photo of me im too self-conscious... don't worry about me too much. Got any great ideas that can help my situation, or we can just talk about yours im a great listener.

Oh but I do worry about you. You are one of the youngest teens (13y.o.) to have joined the forum because the rules say 16 and older. But I don't feel someone so young should go unadvised as in how to handle your situation at home. A therapist would surely be able to help you but since your parents apparently don't want you to go, I would suggest talking with a councilor, teacher or nurse at school. Let them know all the emotional abuse you are under. It seems like you have learned to take a back seat to everything including not feeling worthy of being recognized as a person. Although we have a lot of caring men and women on the forum, to keep you safe it would be better if you were able to find a young teen support group. Maybe the school would be able to direct you in getting some help. I wish you well. xx

Your here and yes, people do care because a lot of us are in the same boat, different ages, different circumstances, but anxiety and depression takes many forms. I'm sorry your going through so much as a young women, and will tell you I too I was abused at your age, and what I did was get busy with my art work. I also wrote to expressed myself. Until your out of this living situation you will need to find some safe ports to be in and weather the storms. I hate hearing your going through this, I really am sad that this still has to happen to anyone. But it will pass, everyone says that, but it's true, the best thing you can do is get busy doing anything you can in a positive constructive light for yourself, avoid the negatives as much as you can, maybe join some afternoon groups to take up more time from being at home.
