emotional help breaking point!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm a teenage girl and i'm looking for an someone besides a therapist that can help me with my emotional problems that are caused by my family. ive only trusted my best friend with this but when i ask her how i can get help or make a change she has no idea or just wait till u move out(thats years away!!!!!!). my family has a lot of secrets, they don't treat me very well, and they don't consider my feelings or how their actions affect me. i have no trust left for anyone, but if theres no other way i will try a therapist; ive gone before and they only made things worse. at school, while playing my instrument, and in general i have stress blocks that limit me a lot, increasing my frustration; i feel like attacking people but i never do.(i don't have anger issues). is there another way to ease the pain? i'm at my breaking point!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Zane though I will add the following.
Having been in therapy myself I have been in your situation. Not all therapists are alike. There are different methods of psychology and different treatments. Sometimes patients and their therapists just don't work well together. This was my problem and may be your problem.
I went through 3 therapist before I found my 4th therapist. She and I hit it of right away and she was and still is a great help to me. The most important thing about therapy is trust.
You have to trust your therapist. If your are over 14 whatever is said in therapy stays in therapy. Nothing you say can be told to anyone, not even your parents without your written permission. This is the law under a federal law known as HIPPA.
It is this confidentiality and trust between you and your therapist that makes therapy work. If you cannot be totally open and tell your therapist what is hurting you. Then therapy is not going to help. If you do not trust your therapist if you are not comfortable talking to your therapist ask your therapist to find you someone else.
Any good therapist will do this for you as it is the most important thing about therapy, to have trust in your therapist. It matters not that you are young. Just say I believe I need someone else to talk to, maybe some one older or younger. If your female maybe you want a female therapist if your seeing a male therapist. If so, say that.
Remember therapy is all about you; making you feel better and more comfortable. If you are not open and honest with the doctors and therapists then this won't happen. So stand up for yourself and tell them what you need to make this work for you. You will not get in any trouble for doing so.

The truth? A therapist may be the only person that can properly help you. They are trained to listen and help people cope with their problems while your friend is not.
Sometimes it is okay to tell our friends little things that go on in our lives but to vent constantly will wear them out and drain the friendship. I am not saying you do or have done this but sometimes even the smallest things can lead to big things.
If you don't feel that the therapist is doing as much work as you would like to see then maybe you could making an arrangement with him to see a psychiatrist. Keep in mind, That in order to see a psychiatrist you will have to continuing your treatment with your therapist. The only way a therapist can do his/her job is if you ALLOW them too. If you don't talk to them then they cannot help you, That is what they are there for, It is there job to listen and help people. Don't burn your bridge until you know what's on the other side first.

I'd advise going to your GP but they'll most likely say to see a therapist. Which I'd still recommend.
You could go try find some online forums about dealing with related issues?
