Parents and my issues
My parents have never listened to me whenever I talk about something being up with me especially my mental health. They always say its just hormones and hows I couldve seen it back then, its been 6 years of constant everyday feelings. I need help but I dont know how to tell them. I feel like it doesnt matter anyways because we have no money for a therapist, and I feel like nothing will change.

I'm sorry your parents are not helpful. My mother was bad about cliques... 'oh it's just a phase', 'oh your growing through a growth spurt', or 'it's all in your head'... She was particularly good at deluding herself. Anyway, you can reach out to the support community here to talk about your feelings, and you can talk to a live listener as well. Odds are they are not therapists, but it can be good to talk about what's on your mind with someone else in real time.

I am sorry to hear that hailey.
It is difficult to manage and worse off when close ones are "unable" to assist you.
I know if it is difficult to explain and ask of you to "accept". But there are times "we" ask/seek others to listen to "how we want them (something) to be"
Which often does not work out. This is because everyone has their own mentality, goals, "rules", guides, facts/morals/etc. of their personal self or self-beliefs. Hence it may be challenging when seeking support from close ones. (Despite them being better choices)
Yes financial concern is another barrier to cross. (Myself is even battling this as well)
Of course seeking a neutral party (trained professional will be better), will be able to listen and stand firmer on advising you. (But do also note that they may not directly react the way you perceived as well.)
My my parents kicked me out of the house 2 years ago. I have alway suffered from severe depression and anxiety. But they were tired of dealing with me and even they had said
