I want to see a phycologist How do I tell my mom
Shes one of those parents that if you tell them anything, you always end up getting yelled at. I'm not trying to say shes a REALLY bad person...but I can't even choose my own college. I can't do a lot of things. But I desperately need one. What is bi polar, and depression...i mean their differences?? Cuz I have a lot of symptoms of depression i think...I've gained 5 pounds, lack of sleep, random crying spells about the stupidest things, like when someone told me to shut up. But I was yelling at them for calling me a cutter...i'm constantly mad at myself. How do I tell her I want a phycologist? She has to sign a form...and im 14
Answer:Okay. Let me guess? Your Mom is the kind of Mom that freaks out when you do the smallest thing wrong, yells at you constantly, then wonders why you act so hostile towards her? I've known people like that and I understand that she's probably the LEAST understanding person when it comes to this and she'd just tell you to stop complaining and do the dishes. Are your problems from kids at school or something? 14 is an awfully young age to be feeling like this, that's a shame. Do you have a really close friend that you can talk to about all of this? If you do, I'm sure you might have already asked her about this. Hmm. I can't imagine that talking to a school counselor would be fun but...ARE there any you could talk to? If it IS kids at school, are any of your other friends going through this? I'm going through a similar problem if it is kids. I get called names a lot just because I don't like rap music and pretty skirts. Whatever though. I talked to my best friend about it because she was getting crap too, though not as bad as me. She was TONS of help and was always encouraging me to just stay up and not let myself fall. Just by hanging with her more and listening to her advice, as hard as it was at times, I've already noticed a change in my mood and attitude towards people. Try it. If you have someone like that, ask them for advice. They just might be right. Also, you could talk to me anytime since I'm going through a similar thing. I know it's strange talking to people you don't know off the internet but...I dunno. Just a suggestion. Try to have a great day, sweetie. I'm sure you're truly an amazing person. Try to realize it :]
Write a note and leave it where she will find it, that always works-- good luck
Honestly, you need to just tell her. She might freak out and maybe blame herself cause she thinks she might have parented wrong or something but being a 26 year old and having gone through all that.... if you feel you need to go then go. I went as a child and it helped off and on. Bi-polar brings major mood swings whereas depression is that.... being depressed.
Can you find a teacher to help discuss it with her? Does your school have a staff phycologist?
