Q: 15/female. My life is great. I have everything I could ever need, and a small group of friends that I could tell ANYTHING to. My parents love me, and 99% of my family is beyond incredible, but sometimes I get too overwhelmed. I'm an only child, and my parents expect a LOT out of me. If I don't have straight high-A averages, I get privleges taken away because "I can do better" and I KNOW that they're right. I always LOVED school, and don't get me wrong, I still do, usually. But now that I'm in highschool there's more drama to deal with, and teachers are more eccentric, for lack of a better word. Sometimes it's too much to deal with. My mother attempting suicide last year was essentially my breaking point. She's got that worked out (nasty hospital screw-up and severe allergic reaction led to a decrease in serotonin; she's fine now) but nowadays I think constantly that something even worse will happen not just to her, but to many people I care about.
Sorry that was so long, but as you can see I really need to work some things out. Would it be weird to go to a therapist just ONCE, to have someone else to talk to, or would I be forced to go nine thousand times?
