Another Update.

Hello,

It’s me again.

So, last Friday— I didn’t go to a psychiatrist/psychologist. I got told Tuesday, that I/my teacher needed permission from my parents for me to go.

They said that they wanted to “think” about it.

My mother hasn’t discussed this with my father. Yet.

Last Thursday, my mother and I talked about this.

She said that, while it was good, —I could still talk to her about this. It felt draining, discouraging. It made me feel like I shouldn’t go to a psychiatrist/psychologist.

I’ve never been to one, either; so the thought worried me/made me

feel nervous.

Though, should I?

Do you think she’ll listen?

I’m worried that, if I do tell her

the next time I have suicidal thoughts,

that she won’t listen...

I’m unsure of how to tackle this/feel about it all.

Hope you all;

have a nice day, night, or afternoon.

— A. ♡

Explain to your mother that although you love and appreciate her wanting to help you, and you know that she is trying to help, but that this is no reflection on her being a good or bad parent... and that you feel you need professional help... that this is something you do not feel she is equipped to help you with... and that you are in crisis and it's important at this time in your life that you get all the help you can get. If they are going to make sure your cared for...this is what you need.

Alright. I’ll try to get that,

through if we land on that topic again.

Thank you.

I appreciate your support! ♡

honey.... I really think you may not want to wait too long on this because this is your life and you getting the help you need. I'm sorry your parents are not open to this, but I would maybe start looking for some kind of advocacy group for young people to talk to so that you can get the help you need. I know it's hard to reach out... but your health and happiness is important, and you have that right to have this....take care ....

[Hidden in reply to fauxartist]

But, how can I get to a advocacy group for young people...?

[Hidden in reply to fauxartist]

Don’t I need my parents permission to go to something like that...?

[fauxartist in reply to Hidden]

I think that's the whole idea of these groups is to give a young person in trouble and who's parents are not willing to help them with professional help some ideas on how to get help. I know there are many on line youth websites for kids like yourself who need help... have you done any searching on your own yet....I've run across some in the past...

[Hidden in reply to fauxartist]

No, I haven’t searched something like that before.

[fauxartist in reply to Hidden]

it depends on what country and state your in... every country has different helplines.... I don't want to ask you what country your in because that's personal and private info.... but I do know when I was just looking up some stuff for another member there were quite a few in the US and also the UK

[Hidden in reply to fauxartist]

Oh, well, sadly— I don’t live there,

to say the least.

[fauxartist in reply to Hidden]

If you want to pm me.... I can give you the websites I know of....I'd be happy to...hang in there kiddo.... there is always a way... we just have to keep trying...okay?

[Hidden in reply to fauxartist]

Alright.

Thank you. ♡
