i jus need therapy but my mom is always like “you can talk to me!” but everytime i do she completely disregards my feelings and try to put words in my mouth god give me strength

Yeah I tried to ask my mom and she said “your life is perfect everything is perfect you have no reason to be sad so stop being ungrateful” 🥴

My mom caught me watching this and crying so I had to make something up about watching a sad film about animals dying and she literally went on about how humans are dying too, how I should watch religous videos & how ungrateful I am- Then she asked me what I wanted to eat like nothing ever happened 💀

I did it I asked my mom!!! I’m shaking so much and she haven’t responded yet but I did it!!

i think for me, i’m kind of scared to ask my mom because i feel as if she would say something like “you can always talk to me about that stuff” and yea i get that it’s just my mom doesn’t really give the best advice on how to deal with this stuff.

My parents use the excuse that I am a teenager and I'm exaggerating and even now I'm watching this wile crying💔

I know my mom will most likely let me but i feel like my problems aren't big enough to go to therapy and that i would just be taking up a therapists time that could be given to a person who needs it more than me.

Do you have trouble sleeping? Me: *watches this at 4am* neeeehhh

I basically had to beg my mom screaming that I needed a therapist, and even then she relucantly agreed to let me see one. She physically flinched whenever I even said the word therapist.

sometimes when i practice infront of a mirror i start getting emotional and start crying i dont even know what to do anymore

How much should I tell them? I kinda just want permission to get help. I don’t exactly want them to be involved. I really don’t want to upset them... that’s why.

Here from tiktok your the best and this helped a lot

A month ago I brought it up to my mom and she laughed because she thought I was joking. 😀👍🏽

I’m just so scared to ask my parents. For a few months now i’ve hated just people in general. I always feel judged and I don’t like the public. I’ve been trying to give them hints that i’m scared of being judged but I don’t want to straight up say it to their faces. My mum is a psychologist herself but I still feel like she won’t understand

Im scared, i have anxiety of getting in trouble everyday. I need a theripist, i want to talk to someone. But my parents need to know first, Im so scared..Help..but i also dont want them involved. I dont want them to know.

like every time my siblings says mean things to me or just be on someone’s side my mom starts laughing and i feel really alone like i can’t open up to anyone.

TW: sh, suicide, depression in a argument (it was one sided bc she thought i had an additude for no reason and i didnt) she said "if you dont feel comfortable telling me or your dad something then i can get you counseling". the thing is tho, ive hid so many emotions from her that idk how she would react to me expressing sadness. im sure shed try to help but everyday im getting closer and closer to trying my wrists out. i just dont feel like bothering her bc she has enough to deal with, although her childs suicide would just add to it. ive felt so damn numb that feeling depressed almost feels better. i feel like i cant tell any teachers bc they dont get paid enough, and i learned from my experience with school guidance councilors spill everything, and id like my suicidal thoughts and depression to not be the next thing she has to hear about. i am so lost in everything and anytime i tell one of my rl friends its always "omg me too! youre such a mood! dont we all need therapy 🤣". i get everyone has their own shit to deal with although that has been no help and idek if i will graduate high school (i made a pact though so not really), but yeah ty for reading my ted type.

Reading the comments made me realize I’m not alone :) I’m kinda nervous to ask my mom, but I want to do art therapy, I find it easier for me to explain my thoughts and feelings through colors and paints rather than talking verbally. I love talking but sometimes I feel like I talk to much and bore people when I talk about my interests and hobbies. I’m starting to fall back into my depression again, I get anxiety when I’m at school, and I feel so alone even though I’m surrounded by people. It’s so hard honestly, being 14 and have gone through so much already, but I want help and I’m willing to ask and get the help I need :) so thanks for the video! It helped me feel not so alone :,) also I’ll update when I ask and see how it goes!!

Thank you for the great tips on how to talk to parents.

My mom has literally never heard about my anxiety. Or anything. I’ve never showed it, or talked about it. It’s so weird that I might just seem like a perfect child to her, but it’s the complete opposite. So that’s the main reason I’m scared to tell her. I feel like she’s going to invalidate my feelings, but I think I might just go for it. Thank you for this video. I’ll try my best to use the tips to help me. I’m a bit nervous, but I think I can do it.

Im going to try this bc i think i really need to see a therapist

After 2 years of mental health problems, I finally feel worthy enough to get therapy. Wish me luck 🤞

I haven't seen my counselor in months and I'm in literal tears. Thank you for existing, having a channel, for having simple answers to what I haven't gotten to ask

You know you dont feel comfortable with shairing your emotions with your parents when your scared to talk to them about anything like that

I feel like I might have anxiety... My mom thinks I am overreacting So the symptoms i do have is: My heart racing My hands and legs shaking Overthinking everything Being overwhelmed in crowded places and being overwhelmed when alot of people are talking at the same time Trouble falling asleep Can someone tell me if those things mean anything? Cause I don't want to tell her if it is nothing...

i’ve started getting episodes of DP/DR since I was very young. Too young. I thought there was something wrong with me. Because randomly i would see the world in this way and then just start crying. Then i did research. I matched with all the symptoms. I was glad that i knew i wasn’t crazy. But again i still sometimes feel that way. In grade 3 it came back and i missed way too much school. I just wans’t able to bear the thought of even getting out of bed. But i was too young at the time to understand. I thought i was what i called a ‘malfunction’ and it made me heartbroken. Then, my symptoms cleared and i was good. Then grade 4, it started up again. And i missed 2 months of school do to how sad and depressed i got from it. I kept telling myself i wasn’t supposed to be alive beacause i felt this way. None pf my friends beleived me. One said “that’s fake beacaus that doesn’t happen”. That also really hurt. My symptoms never cleared either. Fast forward to 5th grade (current). I miss so much school. I fugured out it’s called depersonalization disorder. It’s getting really unhealthy. I have to pretend i care to my friends bcause i always am thunking about it. I really need help. Ot’s getting so bad that i cry at least once a day. And when i was young, it was awful. Imaging being that young. I fely like litteral💩. I really need help but my parents would never understand. I honestly dont wanna livd anymore. This video helped. I’ll try to tell hem but they’re probably gonna make fun of me. Bye

I just want someone to talk to about my day. It’s not like I’m having any of the symptoms but I just want to talk to someone who will listen and hype me up and give me good advice

I finally did it! My first appointment is on thursday :)

I just dont want my therapist to tell them everything. And I know my dad will just say "Just stop watching sad videos" Its not that. I never watch sad stuff anyway.

Thankyou so much I’m 12’years old I’m im just over all of it I need help and I need it now 🥺

I really need it... but my mum and dad are strict about that type of stuff

The biggest thing for me is that if I ask my mom for therapy then she'll obviously ask why. I don't want to tell her everything cause then she might not let me (my mom is just like that). But if I don't tell her a "good enough reason" she'll just say "well you must not need it that much"

What if your symptoms range from a variety of things that if you try to explain it all together it just sounds ridiculous or unrealistic to your parents/guardian?

I really appreciate this video because I am going through lots of hard things in my life that no body in my life know about and this is really helping me thank you

Thank you so so much my mom just booked me an appointment for march 5th since i have exams these days :)

thank you so much, I can’t express how thankful I am that people like you make these videos :)

I first asked my mum about it and I showed her my scars but she said that it’s a phase and I’ll get over it. Then I went to the school counsellor and they rang my mum and when I got back home, she was mad at me. Now I don’t know what I’m supposed to do…

Thank you for this! I asked my dad and he hasn't done much and keeps forgetting, so I'm going to talk to my mom myself!

I must say; your voice is soooo soothing and this video is so calming!

My parents says that I dont need a therapist and I can deal with it myself (sorry for bad English)

Honestly, I never thought of ever asking my parents for therapy. But after alot of arguements one day, I kinda just broke when my mom asked if I was okay. I kinda just told her everything, she asked if I felt depressed and if I needed to talk to someone, and I told her yes. Although I'm quite busy for the next 2 weeks, me and my mom have been talking a bit more to make sure I'm okay and have been getting ready to meet someone that I can talk to. It honeslty was so scary, and the way that it happened to me might not be the best way for everybody, as I just broke down crying and told her everything. So I'm just here to tell anybody that is wanting to go to therapy but has to tell their parents that it's going to be difficult to find the words, but you got this, your strong and amazing.

Thank you so much for this video it helped. I finally told my mom and she said we’ll go to a therapist

I’ve been asking to go to therapy every now and then since I was 15/16 I’m 18 now. My Mom has always told me no and that I can talk to her instead. (She doesn’t believe in depression and anxiety and things like that)

Just listening to you is so relaxing lol.

Thank you for helping! I’m thinking of asking my parents later

i really need therapy these days i have depressions but i feel they wont understand i even have my own journal

I honestly think she’ll say one of the following things: “We don’t have money for therapy” “You can talk to me about it” “We all feel like that” “Am I not enough?” Or the classic “we’ll talk to your doctor about it” but we never do and I don’t feel comfortable asking my doctor to speak in private because my mom will think I’m talking about her.

i think i might have adhd but i don't want to self diagnose. i want a specialist's opinion but i am really scared to ask my parents ://

I definitely need therapy, but we are low on money right now and trying to save it, and therapy is expensive, and I haven’t even told my parents because I’m scared they would be like “what are you watching? Stop worrying, I’m taking away your device!” Which would just make me more sad and scared, and because of all this overthinking that I’ve been doing, I just stop acting fine and instead burst into tears, literally last month I was fine.. now I’m breaking into tiny shards of glass, and when they step on me I’m stuck in them and they try to get me off (help) , but nothings working.

Thank you so much ❤️ this really helped

i decided to ask my dad today and i just feel like i embarrassed myself. i told him how i felt and he said that it was just my hormones and that i should wait until they end (which would be my early 20s) i don’t want to have to live this way until i’m 20. i’m already terrified of opening the door at my house or just simple phone calls. i just want help

Thank you so much for the advice! But I'm pretty scared to ask again because the first time I did, I told my mum about my anxiety, depression etc. And she just said, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, YOU are completely fine and you can talk to me" But when I TRIED to talk , she just did nothing about it and just brushed off the conversation . Since it was time to sleep, I went to bed, but I couldn't sleep, because I was crying all night.

Hi!! I know I'm 3 years late, but after watching this video, I was able to open up to my parents. Fortunately, they were really open about mental health & the things I've been going through. 😊 Because of you, I am one step closer to therapy❤️ Thank you so much for making this video. I genuinely appreciate the efforts you do in making helpful videos like these.

I keep asking my mom but she brushes it off as a joke 😔

Okay..I’m just scared to tell them, I feel like she won’t do anything. If my parents say I’m fine what should I do

Is it still assault if you didn’t say it was ok for them to touch you but you didn’t stop them? Does me not stopping them mean that I wanted it?

Just had a breakdown and panic attack and here i am. My mom will get me anything but a therapist.

Last time I told my parents that I genuinely know and am sure I have ADHD, they laughed it of as a way to be dramatic or having know focus and being a procrastinator. I just want a diagnosis I just want to be taken seriously, I want them to know WHY I can’t focus WHY I forget WHY I get terrible grades. 2 years ago, my parents took me to a psychologist out of a doctors recommendation. He started asking me about my phobias, I told him dolls because that was a fear I had at that time. He took a bit of time understanding why. The entire time I was holding back my tears and just hoping and begging in my head for him to ask me questions which meant a lot to me. He didn’t. My parents called it a waste of money and said that I don’t need it. Even 12 year olds have problems, dad, mom.

my dad said he wanted me to see a doctor over my sleep issues and I was like “okay and I’ll also go over other things.” So I waited and then he just stopped and I never got help.

i don't even need to ask my mom thinks i need therapy. my family keeps asking me if im okay and i have to keep saying im fine. i didn't know i was that noticeable

Thank you this helped me so much

I'm sixteen. I feel helpless. Life feels like an endless loop that I keep repeating over and over only to find no enjoyment out of it. I'm tired of this. I'm going to ask soon.

I’ve been feeling really bad lately. Crying for no reason, panic attacks from out of nowhere and more. I want to see a psychiatrist but I’m to scared to ask my parents. This last Friday tho I talked a little to the school psychiatrist ( or what you call her ) over lunch and she said that my parents don’t have to know about me talking to her ( except if she believes I’m in danger to myself or others ). So I’m going to message her this upcoming week about a meeting and I’m mentally preparing for it right now. Wish me luck 🖤

I got diagnosed for anxiety a few years ago and now entering my teenage years and not having any friends I have been crying nonstop I think I need to go back to thearopy

My mom is really open and easy to talk to. (: I talk to her but I wanna talk to someone professional. I just feel like she is going to say “you are still very young there is no need for that.” Or “you always talk to me about stuff!” I’m thinking of telling my bestie first and tell my mom in a couple days after that. Also I will tell my nana to.

My mom isn't the nicest, she's nice until you get her angry. My dad is very dramatic, and I got most of my traits from him, and that kinda led my mom to believe that I had inherited his dramatic trait. So now whenever I talk to her about me having suicidal thoughts (well it's not really talking they just slip out when we're fighting) and she mocks me about it like "oh stop with that 'oH I wAnnA diE' sh--" and now im afraid to talk to her about therapy. My dad is the same, but when it comes to me and my mental health he actually cares, and offered me a therapist (he still is the worst though) but I live with my mom most of the time, so I had to decline the therapy, because I already know how my mom was going to react. I hope I can sometime get the courage to ask for therapy ^^ I will try

I‘m really scared to talk about my mental health to my parents, especially since I have a major problem with opening up to people and even though I’ve been wanting to talk to them for the last 3 years where I’ve been struggling with different symptoms, I Never managed to actually tell them, cause for some reason I can’t bear the thought of them knowing so much about my feelings. But since the symptoms got way worse this year I hope I’ll be able to talk to them soon. I wish the best to everyone else watching this video and I hope you too will be able to talk to your parents and get help :):)

I’m worried that if I asked my mom she’ll respond with “you have money for that?” Or something to do with therapy being expensive. I’ve been struggling with my mental in my current life, I’ve been crying more often and I’m not usually anxious or easily irritated at home but lately I have been. I also recently feel that I’m developing social anxiety and that form of anxiety is not normal for me. I have my coping mechanism but I don’t know how to hang on without feeling the big need to see a therapist. Therapy cost money, being a therapist is a job and should be paid for as such. I have a big respect for therapist because school counselors have helped me a lot. I’m now graduated so I no longer have access to a school counselor for free therapy.

When I went to my mom expressing my feelings she said I was having a “teenage moment” and that I hurt HER feelings because I expressed why she was making me sad. I went to her about maybe having anxiety and she said I’m just worried. I don’t want to attack her parenthood but want her to understand. She says that I hurt her feelings when I tell her that she’s making me unhappy. I never tell her how I feel. And she says I do all the time

I think I really realized I need therapy when I wrote down reasons I need to go like she said and I wrote over a paragraph of things that have just been building up over the past 3 years I just wish I was easier to talk to parents I feel like I can’t talk to them about anything personal without breaking down

It worked

My dad is the entire reason I’m watching this video. He just expects me to be perfect at everything I do and he just wants to be right about everything. He wants attention so bad and it’s stressing me out I feel like ending it

This is why I was diagnosed with adhd my teacher recognized it good job school

idk how you can make a video like this without explicitly acknowledging many parents are abusive (physically or emotionally) or simply suck as people.

A common thing I encounter when I try to talk to my parents about this stuff they just think it’s more of a negativity thing than a anxiety thing. It possibly could be I just am convinced otherwise

i did it

yeah i really want to tell my parents but i feel like they would get mad i talked to my frined about it before i did told my parens, and i feel like they might just get mad i didnt tell them earlier and im getting help from my freind and this video to get the courage to tell them.

Thank u for this I have been blacking out and waking up in random places and hearing 2 other voices in my head but it is just hard for me to bring it up but I will use this info thanks

My mom has very strong opinions on therapy. Ive kept my emotions mostly hidden, but I’m scared what I might end up doing to myself. I don’t even know why I feel this way. But it may have to do with trauma, since I lost my dad to lung cancer at age 6. I lost a huge portion of my childhood then, and I almost feel like I never caught up. I also am a really good student. I have exceeding grades, and teachers love me. But when I slip up, I feel so guilty, like I’ve failed. I can feel people wondering what went wrong in my brain, and it’s really stressful, it makes me feel miserable for the next few weeks. I cry a lot at night in my room. And if I don’t let out emotions then, it comes out in public if I hold it in for too long. I also have trouble staying up to hygiene, or responsibility. My mom believes that mental illness is just a backdoor excuse for people feeling down sometimes. I don’t fully understand how she feels, but I’m scared she will just dismiss me, cause she always says stuff like “Only you can change your mindset,” when I’ve been trying that for years on end now. What should I do? I don’t want to hide this from her, because we are really close, and for the most part she’s an amazing mother.

my mums noticed the scar’s on my wrist and talked to me she said something along the lines (it was a while ago maybe 4-5 months so i don’t remember word for word) she said “once a long time ago a read a article about kids who get stressed from school and family and pressure and they take sharp things and do this *pointing to my wirst*” i know she gets it because every time i have a panic attack she gets it she helps me but i haven’t told her yet i just tell her i got the scars from gardening and the panic attacks are just my other heart condition i don’t know what it is i feel i don’t know if it’s anxiety or anything. even with friends i can’t talk to them they all come to me for help and they know me as the weird crazy unicorn and rainbows type friend my girl friend is the only person who knows anything but i keep saying no lying to them to make them think i’m happy to i don’t know if it’s working but their chill they have a lot more problems then me their parents won’t listen to them when they said they needed a therapist and they are always so anxious and they have so many panic attacks and sh i always try focusing on other people to forget about myself but then when i’m alone it all comes back that’s why i always never want to be alone it’s scary and i can’t take it ahhh sorry for that vent my point i was trying to make was idk what my mums gonna say i’m just scared… thanks for anyone who read this

Every time I try and say i think i need therapy they say you can just talk to me. Like, i didn't even explain what i need it for. Plus when i talk about how some when at school that was me angry or upset and getting into a fight or into trouble, they just say 'you have to be calm' and i'm like😐.....I was upset.....i was angry.......GIVE ME A BREAK😡

I just don’t want my parents to feel like they failed, or feel like their last five or six years of knowing me was a lie. I don’t think it’s their fault that I’ve had severe depression for six years, but I want to be happy man. Idk what to do. I REALLY don’t want to tell them, but after six years idk how much longer I can go

this is so freakin terrifying being a teen tysm for this ur helping a lot, I'm gonna try and ask them for thereapy today :/

i dont think i have like depression or anything, but i just dont think im enough for this world because i have done so many mistakes and i dont see a purpose in life and i am always overthinking and i just feel like i am always doing something wrong, but i dont wanna talk to my mom about it because i dont want her to say "oh, youre fine, like i try to give you enough so youre fine, youre not sad" but i just didnt know how to explain the way i am feeling.

Yeah I tried everything... my parents just always say we don't have the money for therapy... So they tell me to talk to my sister. She is only 14 I don't want to put it all on her I feel like I'm burdening her... I don't want to put to much on her I'm stuck balling up my feelings because everything I talk about them it's always "it can get worse " or "Stop complaining your life is better than mine when I was a kid" or "I don't care I have worse things to deal with just want till you get a job"

I told my friend that I think I need therapy and he said “you don’t have depression! You have so much in your life! You’re so lucky!” I’m from an upper class family and it’s hard. Little Miss Perfect is literally my home life. My family says that I can talk to them. I can’t. They don’t know I’m struggling inside, the reason I’m being bullied is cuz I’m transgender. I can’t tell them.

I want to ask my parents to get me a therapist but I am so scared to tell them that their daughter wants to commit suicide and might be depressed but then I don’t know if I am just being overdramatic since my life is pretty I still laugh and sometimes feel ok so I don’t really know

I’m probably just gonna get my friends to hype me up at school and send my mum a text 💀💀 I’m just nervous because I don’t want to have a big conversation that makes her think differently of me :( I have done sh, unfortunately, but she didn’t think to get me a therapist. Hopefully that past mistake will help my case. I’ll update you on the result if I do it!

I really wanna ask my parents but I literally have no reason to be sad or depressed. My life is ok but I'm just so unmotivated and tired all the time. My parents always ask me "why are you sad? There MUST be a reason!" But I literally don't. One day I just woke up and I just didn't have any motivation to do anything. I just brushed it off as laziness but ever since I just started being sad and tired all the time then it turned into not wanting to do anything to being angry at the smallest things. I feel like I really do need help but I just don't have the courage to tell my parents.

Thank you 🥹💜

Ik this video is old but I'm finally asking my mom for help, although sometimes I feel like I'm overreacting but maybe that's my mind trying to get out of the harsh situations but ik I need professional help and hopefully I can finally get it

I’m terrified. If my mom says no, I’m homeschooled, so I can’t get a school counselor. If she says no, it’s over, and the world is gonna seem pretty dark. I’d almost rather not know than know she says no. Is there anything you’d say is a good way to end the conversation? She says no to most things I request; either they’re ‘dangerous’ or she doesn’t think it would be good for me. It’s really important with my mother to put things in good wording. I don’t know, man.

I know this video was a little bit ago but I feel I need therapy but I don’t want my parents to know what goes on in therapy. So that’s what makes it hard to ask because I’m afraid they’ll still be invading on it.

I have been trying to talk to my mother about my anxiety but she keeps saying "why do you feel anxious you dont have a reason to feel that way stop doing it" and it feels like she is blaming it on me but i cant help how i feel and she doesnt understand that. I have tried telling her many times and the same thing happens. I feel really scared about telling her directly. I also told her i wanna go to a therapist but we dont have enough money... i dont know how to find a way out of this...we also dont have a school counselor and there are no teachers that i can talk to or an adult in general

It's sad how I'm 11 and this video is so helpful :)

Last time I said I was depressed my parents just laughed so I’m afraid to ask them for therapy.

So let's start by saying I have the symptoms of paranoia, it always takes at least an hour sometimes more to fall asleep, plus I'm LGBT (supportive parents tho) and I HATE talking about serious/awkward stuff like this with my parents and kind of just adults in general. I feel like I may need therapy, I keep Linda talking myself out of it, and I'm just not sure, but also part of me doesn't want to talk to my parents about getting therapy, even though I know they will be supportive. I am also nervous that I won't be able to open up fully, or at all, with a therapist. If anybody has opinions or anything, lemme know. Thx

I’m scared to tell my parents because I’ve never really been vulnerable around them and I’m scared they will think less of me or that our relationship won’t be the same like they might treat me like glass about to break or something , I’ve never really been comfortable talking about my feelings with anyone , I hope I can get the courage to tell them soon ❤

My parents will think I waste their money but next month I will I will say them soon I need it I have symptoms of adhd and anxiety

Already told them I hope they just listen
