Should I go to therapy/ how do I ask to go to therapy?

I think I want to go to therapy, but I feel like my illness isn’t real. I feel empty and sad continously, but that’s just how I’ve always felt and ot’s never been a big deal. Also, I don’t think I’m deserving and/or worthy of it. I also don’t know how to ask my parents about it even if I did decide on getting therapy. What should I do?

Feeling sad all the time is not normal and a therapist will be able to tell you what they think of your symptoms and how they should be handled it’s always good to talk to a therapist because they don’t know you and they can look at everything with Fresh eyes. If you think you need to go to therapy you should be honest with you parents and tell them you feel like you need to see one and they will understand your parents want what’s best for you.

Your worth it! Those things definitely exist! If you feel that you need help, you probably do. Therapy can help a lot. As a parent myself, if my child asked for help like that, I would get them in immediately without too many questions.
