asking mom
I think that I need a psychiatrist. I know that I do, I feel very depressed and I cut myself. My mom sees a psychiatrist. I'm just afraid of asking my mom and dad (they are divorced, so I can't sit them down together) if I can go to a therapist. I was wondering of anyone knew any ways of bringing it up or any suggestions of how to talk about it. I'm uncomfortable bringing it up and I really don't want my parents to know how depressed and frightend I feel. If you have any ideas I would really appreciate it.

Walk up to her take a deep breath clear your mind and say mom i need to see a psychiatrist most likely she will either totally understand & get you help right away or she will want to talk to you about it and in that case just state the truth so that she will understand whats going on - hope i helped ♥

Well if you cant talk to your mom about getting a therapist then ask a teacher and or your guidence counceler anything that would make you feel better and if all else fails ask your mother be like mom iom having trouble and would like to talk to a thearpist please...and walk off and leave it at that if she asks why be like very personal reasons she might get upset but she'll relize after awhile its what you want/need

I would walk downstairs, take a deep breath, and say, "Mom, I think I need to see a psychiatrist." Most likely, she will understand ne be glad you realized that you need help. However, if you have a problem doing that and think it would be easier to say it first to another trusted adult (hobby instructor, teacher, guidance counselor, best friend's mom), you should do that. Then they can tell your mom. Eventually, you will have to talk to your parents though. Oh and I'm glad you realized that you should get help and that there is help out tehre! Good for you!

hey!! well, the first thing to solving a problem is realizing that it's there, so i'm glad you have and you are ready to get help! i think you have it easier than most other people in your situation, because your mom will be able to relate to you. sit down with her and ask her about her past... when did she realize that she needed help? how did she go about getting the help? does she think the psychiatrist made a difference? things like that. once you get her to open up about those things, tell her that you might have the same problem and you would like her to be there with you and tackle it. maybe go with her to her next meeting with the psychiatrist? you guys will be able to figure it out once you talk to her, but deffinitely do it right away! like i said, just get her to tell her side of the story, and then explain to her that you are going through the same thing! she will relate to you and make your life soo much easier! :) good luck!

First of all, I want to commend you for realizing that you have a problem.
I think that you need to be very straightforward with your mother. Just tell her about your feelings, and asks her if you could see her phsychiatrist sometime. In the meantime, it is VERY important that you stop cutting yourself.
I see no reason why your mom would say that you couldn't get help for your problem.
I hope that every thing turns out all right for you. It saddens my soul when I hear stories of sad young people.
Love From,
Mable
