Venting I need to talk to someone in real life, yet I have no one.

[First loss]

I'm a pretty social person and have lots of friends but I don't trust anyone on this kind of issue, yet I desperately need to talk to someone face to face. I don't want to introduce anyone to my problem because they would probably tell my parents or something, and I don't trust my parents one bit on this, they'd probably just cut me off from the world and never let me go out instead of school.

It sucks! to be surrounded by people but not able to speak with them in ways you need, I know how that feel's, as I'm in the same situation. Could you not speak with a therapist? at least then it's face to face with somebody who won't judge you. It might be worth a try..

I'm 16. Don't you need a parent's consent to have one? Also I doubt there are therapists where I live.

16? sorry I didn't know and I'm not sure about how that works where you are! I'm a adult who lives in England. I know in England when you are 16, you can see a therapist without an adult. Maybe you could ask your parents to take you, but for them to sit outside the room, so you've still got your privacy. Would they agree to that?

Probably not. They would credit that to me being an teen or whatever. They see me fucking crushed and sad every day and they don't give a fuck. My father just tells me to man up. Besides, there's no such thing as professionalism here, they'd just give the therapist 50$ and he would record everything or something. Sucks having helicopter parents. I do get by in avoiding them though.

I also hate being open with them. They only criticize me.

I'm sorry you are feeling this way, it's hard when you've parents just like how you've told me! I'm 33 now, but my parent's are very much like how your parents are! and I can lie to you, say it gets better, it doesn't! not with mine at least. Some parents hate the thought of having a child that may have Mental Health issues, so think the best way to deal with it all, is to ignore! Or for them to make up excuses and make you feel worse than you already do! and in time, as you get older and one day move out and live your life the way you want, you won't need them so much, and if they still cause you distress, you can cut them off!
But sadly you are still a child, so can't do that. I send you hope, that things get better soon. But if they don't, you can alway's talk to like minded people on line. On here!

Yup. Thanks for your wishes. I doubt things will get better though. I'd like to sort some things out before I go.
