How to tell your patents you want to go to therapy? ?!


Question: How to tell your patents you want to go to therapy? ?
I have issues and I feel like things are getting worse over the years and I try to talk to my friends but I don't think they really understand what's going on with me and don't really like talking to my parents about my personal life and think that professional help would be better for me. The only problem is is that I always put on a fake smile and act as if nothings wrong so my parents have no idea what's going on and I'm always afraid of what questions there gonna ask when I tell them and I find it really hard to talk to them. Any idea on how to approach them and bring up the subject? And what to do when they start questioning me?

Oh, hun I'm sorry..
I completely understand your predicament...

I had to do the same thing :\
It was terrible... but the best thing to do is talk to either your mom or dad alone (whoever you can tell more secrets to) and be like "Mom (or dad).. Can I ask you something?" then "yeah, sure dear! What is it?" "Well, I don't want you to think you're a failure at a parent or anything, but I think it would be of my best interest to see a psychologist... Can you please make me an appointment?" and things will go easily after that.. I had to do this a few weeks ago. I am now seeing the psychologist every other week. :).. Just blurt it out.. It'll feel REALLY good after you do it, TRUST ME

Good luck, Sweetheart. xx
