    Sexual Assault My abuser doesnt know he abused me (?)

    I was taken advantage of by a neighbor boy who was 4 years older than me back when I was 9. He has epilepsy and perhaps other special needs - i never bothered to ask - and I honestly don't think he remembers ever making me do or see anything horrible. I'm very good friends with his sister and...

    Parents against therapy?

    I feel like I should give up and wait until I turn 18 to deal with this. Maybe the next 3 years will fly by. I just don't want to deal with them yelling at me about this. It's making things far worse.

    Parents against therapy?

    I called the hotline and spoke to a kind young woman. She didn't really know what to say to a lot of my questions but she referred me to another hotline for their input. I was biking around outside so that my parents didn't know it was a hotline, but when I stepped back in to write down the...

    Mini panic attack during school

    If you're feeling overwhelmed, one of the worst places to be is in a crowded classroom with your peers. At my school, you can leave class at any time to see a social worker, counselor, or to go to the nurse. Sometimes my friends get a little overwhelmed at go to the nurse, and she lets them lay...

    Parents against therapy?

    I just wanted to say -- thank you all for the advice and support! I'm grateful that you all are by my side when it feels like everything is working against me. Much love.

    Parents against therapy?

    My mom and my brother have been poking fun at me today. A minor inconvenience occurs and they say "why dont you see a shrink about it?", "put on your big boy pants", and "i'm sending you to the crazy home". I'm so tired.

    Parents against therapy?

    Relatively well. She's the only person on my mom's side of the family that still comes around. It's an option to talk to her, but I get the feeling that it'll only make things worse... It might stir up some family drama or cause me to get reprimanded. I think I'll resort to hotlines but if that...

    Parents against therapy?

    I spoke with my mom about seeing a T this morning and she was against it (as expected). She kept telling me that everyone is going through the same shit, my problems are nothing, and that she had it a lot worse. She said I should just start using drugs and alcohol, because that's what she and...

    Parents against therapy?

    Yeah. This is what I've been thinking. I could be rather vague about it but also just ask the teacher if they can support me when needed. This is all so complicated and the situation has been bubbling up inside for so long. I'll try asking my parents if I can see a T this week and if they shut...

    Parents against therapy?

    My parents aren't bad, but they are not the type to open up to since you know you'll get shut down. I'd really just like to see a therapist to help me personally develop and learn to cope with my situation. I guess the "thing" is that I really don't want my parents to find out what happened...

    No. The only time I've acknowledged it is on this forum.

    Parents against therapy?

    Mandatory reporting is a fear that I have as well... I really just want to be able to get this weight off of my chest rather than go through it all again legally. I don't know if they need to report it if it's not a current issue, though (i.e "i used to be suicidal" vs "i'm going to end my life...

    Parents against therapy?

    If they do say no regardless, I could speak with a teacher... I'm just afraid that it'll cross a boundary. I always thought about doing it but could never work up the guts to do it. Thing is, I'm not down with speaking with my counselor because she got visibly uncomfortable when I began to tell...

    Parents against therapy?

    Hello all, I'm 15 years old and have been suffering flashbacks and extreme anxiety regarding sexual abuse that I experienced when I was 9 and 12 years old. I never told anyone since I am very reserved, so I thought it would be a good idea to go to therapy. My family is all about "bottle it up...

    If You Could Do One Crazy Thing Today What Would It Be ?

    I really have the urge to skateboard while holding onto the back of my friend's car. Or even destroy a car. Is that too crazy?
