I need help for anxiety but my mom refuses to take me to get help, what do I do?!


Question: I need help for anxiety but my mom refuses to take me to get help, what do I do?
I have an anxiety disorder and a social phobia. My doctor and counseler told me to go to this one place where they would help me with my problem. I always tell my mom that I have anxiety but its like she only listens because shes curious. Shes even used it against me in an argument we got in. :( So the thing is that every time I tell her to make me an appointment there, she tells me to leave her alone and I stress her out. I cant make it myself because I am under 18, Im 17. What should I do to get the help I need?

Answers:

You should be able to make an appointment yourself unless its an issue with insurance or payment. Other options might be through your school. At my college they offer counseling services for anxiety and depression through our health department.

Often there's community programs. Planned Parenthood sometimes can help put you in touch with support groups. If worse comes to worse seek out some of the support groups online until your able to get help in person.

I had terrible anxiety when i was your age and no insurance. It was really rough. It does get better though. Just hang in there and be persistent in getting the help you need.



Writing down everything it helps a lot.
