Talk to my mom about therapy?

Question

School recommend me go to therapy bc they think I have depression (my counselor admitted I had it for the past few years) but my mom isn't supportive. I went to therapy last year a few times before mom pulled me from it. I harm (I'm like two weeks clean!!) and sometimes restrict My eating. I am Sad a lot but scared to
Talk to my Mom. Should I talk to her or wait for college? If j go when I'm in college, she won't know.

Answer

Talk to her now, if she continues to be unsupportive you can try a website called 7 Cups of Tea, they have free anonymous counseling and therapy from professinals. You have to pay for professinal therapy but it's not that expensive, they don't require that much info about you and it's for people of all ages and walks of life.

Answer

I'm down for talking about my experience with you! But I know how talking to your parents is scary about all this shit, like I got super depressed this past semester in college and when I told my parents they got upset and I was enlightened about all this stuff that happened with their parents. It doesn't hurt to try, my dad completely shut me down about my anxiety. Don't think it's going to be bad, sweetheart. I'm gonna be here for you if you ever need someone. I know I'm just a stranger but I'm here if you ever need someone to talk too

Answer

Hi girl, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. You definitely shouldn't have to do so it alone, and you shouldn't have to wait until college to get help. Therapy can be extremely beneficial and I would really talk to your mom about it. If you don't think she'll be open to the idea, maybe there is someone at school who can help you either by suggesting it to her themselves (sometimes parents need to hear this stuff from another adult) or in some other way.

Answer

Talk to her with another adult. You clearly need therapy and she's preventing you from getting it, which is a form of abuse.
