How do I get help?

@RomioneAlways I'm sorry you're going through that. You said you were a student. Is there a teacher or guidance counselor or similar person you could speak to? They might be the best resource for you.

Good luck!

@RomioneAlways thank you for posting, I hope you get the support you need here. You are dealing with a lot.

@RomioneAlways

Nothing replaces therapy, but 7 Cups of Tea is a wonderful place.

Talk to a guidence counselor? You deserve some support, no one needs to go through that alone. <3

Initially thanks for writing about the problems you are facing. Since you are 13 year old, initially i would say that focus on your academics , study well, so that you'll be able to create your future in a better way and choose your desired field of studies ahead.

I am also in India, and here there are therapist available also, if you are able to contact with them then its fine. Its true that to have a session with a therapist you are required to pay the amount of fees, but since you are a student, it will be difficult for you. So i guess it will be better if you try to browse listeners here using 7cups, cause here listeners volunteer and you can get help from them also.

About your father being emotionally abusing you all and your mother being schizophrenic, i gues the first thing you should be able to do is not become depression, depression ain't gonna help you in the long run. It will eat away the desire to be happy from you. Try to love yourself, if you have good friends, try to be be friendly with them and be happy. If you have any elder siblings or relatives whom you trust , then share about your problem, they might help you. Moreover if you have any teacher in the school whom you feel will be comfortable to listen to your problems and guide you, then you may tell that person even. Sharing the feelings and problems is a good way to get rid of depression, cause as you share them then you will feel atleast a bit more relaxed.

So, welcome to 7cups community, here there are lot many listeners just browse them, and as you mentioned that you are from India, so you can browse the listeners from that country even, cause listeners of that particular country will know about the academics, the available of therapists and etc things present there , so will be able to guide you in the best possible way.

Hi everyone,

A few days back I posted a question asking for help. And while all my problems may not have been necessarily solved, the support and care offered by the members definitely gave me much more strength than I initially had. So, thank you everyone for caring enought to reply.
