telling my parents (trigger warning)
Depression Support / by JJArmada

...See more Next week i'm finally going to therapy again. I'm terrified because i've been struggling with self-harm and suicidal thoughts (without intent) and I haven't told anyone. My last therapist told me that if I was at risk of hurting myself she'd have to tell my parents since i'm a minor. Back then I wasn't self-harming but I still remember what she said. If I tell the therapist next week about my self-harm (i'm still on the fence about talking about the suicial thoughts), they'll probably have to tell my parents. I feel like if they know then everything will change. I'm so scared that everything will be different and that i'll be monitored all the time or that they'll react really badly to it. It makes me not want to talk about the self-harming with the therapist at all. How do I handle my parents reactions and should I even bring up the suicidal thoughts since I don't have intent? I'm really scared and I feel super alone, since if I tell anyone they'd probably tell my parents. Thanks for reading and if you have any advice I really need it. Thank you

Making new friends at a new school

...See more So I have general anxiety and social anxiety and i'm about to start TAFE soon. It's only one class a week for 5 hours but i'm stressing out so much about making friends. I had absolutly no friends for the first year of high school and it was once of the hardest years in my life because I can't cope with loneliness. Sometimes, when I try to talk to people I freeze up and literally can't get a word out and it's really annoying. How do I make friends at this new place? It goes for 2 years and I really don't want to be alone for that long. Thanks for reading :)
