I need to talk to a therapist about depression-like problems, but my mom won'!


Question: I need to talk to a therapist about depression-like problems, but my mom won't let me see one!?
For the majority of my life i have been unhappy; i've withdrawn myself from people in the past, even went mute in 5th grade, (I am a junior in High School now) I'm over stressed and nothing seems right!.
I wish i had some one to talk to; but i feel like if i ask my friends for help, i'll just be bothering them!.!.!.
I've asked my mom to let me see a therapist, or anyone, so that maybe i can get some help ( i have been suicidal in the PAST) At my school there is a group-session thing, but my mom won't let me join it!.

What should i do!? Please help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I understand where you are coming from!.

Keep talking to your mom, or like other have said, go to the GC at school!.

In the meantime get a journal/diary and write until you cant write anymore, write everything as if you were talking to a friend, It really does relieve you somewhat!. Find an outlet!. Such as drawing or writing, reading, etc!. Until you can convince your mom that you do need help!.

You could even go as far as to leave your journal lying out somewhere in the open so your mom will "find it" (She might be tempted to read it) and see how you are feeling!.

Don't feel like you are bothering your friends!. Thats what true friends are there for!. If one friend wont listen then call another friend!.

Do anything you can to get help!.

hey,
maybe you should explain to your mom in great detail how you feel!. Tell her that you have been suicidal in the past and you just feel its all hopeless!. Maybe she doesnt understand the extent of your sadness and just thinks that its normal preteenage/teenage stuff!. If she still doesnt understand i would talk to your counselor at school and tell them how you feel!. Tell them that you have told your mom how you feel and she just doesnt understand!. I know how you feel about your friends i feel like that to!. And when i try to tell them they seem to change the subject or tell me to get over it!. Im betting on your mom if you really really explain in depth even if its hard i bet she will understand!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have a site for u to go to!. I hope u are able to beat this and be a happy person!. Im not sure what else to tell u cause I dont know what exactly you are depressed about!.!.!.try to talk to your parents again, as your parents, they are supposed to care and do anything they can to help u!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

she probably thinks you are fine or doesnt want them to give you any pills, because she doesnt want you to get hooked!. i think you should talk to someone& if she doesnt let you talk to a good friend that understandingWww@Answer-Health@Com

there are a lot of phone numbers that you can call and take to counselors on the phone!. That might be an option that you should try!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ask to see a counsler in your school or talk to somebody at your church and that way you don't need your parents permission!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, your mom isnt at school w/ youWww@Answer-Health@Com

As soon as I read your question i noticed you are very intelligent and have a great understanding of what is happening!. Its a positive thing that you want to see a therapist!.!.!.

dont blame your mum!.!.sending you to a therapist would mean she would have to admit something is wrong !.!.so wrong she cant fix it!. its difficult for parents to come to realise that they cant be there for their children's every problem and they need outside help!.

tell your mum that you have been thinking about the therapy thing and believe that you need someone to talk to!. Ask your mother to be that person!. Sit down and talk to her!. Maybe that way she'l understand that there is nothing wrong with seeking outside help!.!.!.and at the same time you'll feel better!.

gdluck!.!.!.

and take care :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Jr high is a very difficult time in life!. I have a junior high student now who is off and on depressed and is not real social!.

You should tell you mother that you feel suicidal!. That is nothing to play around with or contemplate!.

Be patient with yourself!. Junior high was very difficult for me too, but when I got to high school, I made friends and had a good time!. Just take it day by day and you will get through it!.

Be patient with your mother and talk things over with her!. Ask her to try to remember how she felt in junior high and if she can help you deal with specific things!.

I wish I had the courage to talk to someone about my problems when I was your age!.

Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would try the school counsellor!. i dont see why you need your mothers permission to get counselling at school!. i never even had to tell them i went!. Really suggest you talk to your friends!. The most important thing to do when you feel the way you feel is to talk to somebody! It may feel like you are bothering them, but thats what friends are for!. And if they really are your friends they will try to help you!. I also suggest talking to your mother again!. sit her down and remind her of her teenage days, ask her if she ever felt the way you do now!. if so then she should do the decent think and let you go!. xoxo good luck hun!Www@Answer-Health@Com
