How do I tell my parents I want to go to therapy?

Me and my parents were never close like I can’t talk to them about guy stuff not even to my mom. But these past few weeks I’ve wanted to go to therapy because I feel like I have anxiety and depression and I would love to talk about it to someone who can help me. But I’m worried that they’ll be worried and ask me if everything’s going ok at school? Thank you so much for reading and please help thank you ❤️

Hi ViolonPersuasive3 :)
What you are living doesn't look easy at all. You have such a good reflex to ask for therapy, it is exactly what I think you should do. But I understand it can really be difficult to talk about it to your parents… This is absolutely normal not to know how to bring up the subject, you are not the only one to live this.

So my idea is to write them a letter. Maybe it will be easier to talk about it with words you already thought of than being in front of them and scared of their reaction, who knows! You could write in it that you don’t really want them to bombard you with questions, that you just do not feel great and need their help. It just depends on how you feel the most comfortable : speaking or writing. Or it can even be neither of them! What I mean is that you could maybe look for a documentary, an article, a movie or a song on the topic of anxiety and depression, and show it to your parents so they can better understand your reality. I am sure there are so many on the Internet that you could easily find ;)

Also, I don’t know if you know it, but if you are 14 or more, you can see a doctor, a psychologist, a counselor or any health professional without your parents’ consent. The “meeting” will be confidential and unless it is very serious, the doctor does not have the right to inform your parents of it. But you know, there aren't only psychologists to help you, there are also all your school therapists, Tel-Jeunes and many other phone services that you can contact. I give you the link to a 24/7 mental health service offered in English and French right here if you want to look at it :

I hope my message will help you a bit :) If there’s anything else you would like to share, we’ll always be there for you, never forget that. I wish you will feel better soon. Take care of yourself ❤

P-S : I’m so sorry for my English, let’s say it isn’t my best school subject ;)

Hello!
It's not easy what you're experiencing.. I think it's really good of you that you want to go see a psychologist, it's really a good idea. I would like to start by telling you that if you are 14 years old and + I believe that you can go to the CLSC without your parents knowing. I also advise you to try to tell your parents in a simple and respectful way. If they do not listen and do not understand, I advise you to go talk to a TES at school! I hope I helped!

Hi!
Hope you are doing a little better today :/

I totally understand how you feel. Know that you are not alone in this and that you are right when you say you want to talk to someone to be understood. That's a feeling everybody wants so I think it's normal you feel that way.

I loved the letter idea. Could be something that would help your parents to have a reflexion on.

I hope it's gonna be okay and that you will find the help you need. By the way, I just wanted to add that there may be someone at school like a psychologist or someone like that that you could try to talk to.

I hope I helped you! Remember we are here if you need anything :)) Take care xx

Ca compte ou pas

Je voulais juste savoir qu’est ce qui comptait pour que ça soit une relation sexuelle. Est ce que c’est obligé d’etre une pénétration ou des preli comme moi qui doigte une fille et elle qui me masturbe ça compte?

merci

Pouvez-vous m'aider

Je pense avoir un trouble alimentaire mais je ne suis pas sur. J'ai énormément de mal à manger depuis que je suis en 4em année du primaire. Mes parents savent que je ne mange pas énormément mais ne savent pas que je complexe sur mon corps. Je sais pas si je dois leur parler de mes craintes à propos du TA que je crois avoir. Est-ce que vous avez des suggestions à me faire.

Pas de vrais amies

Depuis que je suis au secondaire, ma meilleure amie et moi étions super proche, au point où toute ma vie tourne autour d'elle. C'est probablement moi qui est trop intense, mais je l'aime tellement, je ferais n'importe quoi pour elle.

Cette année on est dans aucun cours ensemble sauf un. Elle s'est trouvé une nouvelle gang, avec des filles super populaires, belles, drôles, etc... Et elle ne me parle plus. Depuis, je suis prise pour me tenir avec mon ancienne gang, où je déteste toutes les filles. Vraiment je ne me sens pas bien avec elles.

Le pire, c'est que je ne peux même pas essayer de rentrer dans la même gang qu'elle, elles m'ignorent toutes, même mon amie. En fait elle n'ignore totalement depuis quelques semaines. Je lui au donné de l'air, mais je ne sais plus quoi faire.

Ma mère dit que c'est elle qui est immature et qu'elle est une mauvaise amie. Ok, mais je fais quoi maintenant? Si j'essaye de la confronter, elle va juste dire que c'est dans ma tête et je vais passer pour la folle qui ne la laisse pas avoir d'autres amies. Maintenant, je n'ai pas de vrais amies, juste des gens avec qui manger le midi.

Troubles avec l’école

Je suis en secondaire deux, mais je suis supposé d’être en trois. Ben bref, j'arrête pas d'être anxieuse ou angoissée lors de mes pensées noirs. J’essaye de parler s’en avec mon pédopsychiatre mais je suis incapable de proprement prendre ses conseils. J’essaye mon maximum mais rendu au présent je me sens incapable. Je suis dans un program qui a besoin de ma présence…mais jsp quoi faire, je me sens incapable.
