Parents won’t get me help

0

I have social anxiety, which causes me to stay in the house everyday. I’ve never been an out going person but over the past 2 years its been much worse. I have 0 friends or even acquaitances and this has been making me extremely depressed, To the point of suicidal thoughts (I would never kill myself but I often fantasize how great it would be if I have never been born). Ive let my mom know all of this but she refuses to get me help and says that it’ll just go away. I’m a teenager so I can’t disobey her but I feel very miserable. I don’t know what to do anymore.

What I would try to do is try to talk to her one more time, really put your best effort into this. Really try to explain how you feel, and how you know the only way it's going to go away is if you get help. If this doesn't work, you could try to talk to another adult you trust who could either talk your mom into getting you the help, or actually get you help themselves. If this doesn't work, you could always look into the teen help centers in your city.

If this is the case you might need to take action yourself. Have you ever been to a Councillor. They help alot :)

You should try talking to your guidance counselors or social worker at school. It's their job to listen, it's free, and they might be able to help. Also, if you wanted to try, they might even call in your parents and talk to them for you, or mediate. My parents don't listen to me either, but I've found that when they hear about my problems from an authority figure, they take them seriously. Which is annoying, but works.
