what do i do?
i’m not too sure what i’m supposed to do on this app.
basically, i’m a 14 year old girl/boy/whatever (idk yet) and i suffer with type 1 diabetes, disordered eating, depression, anxiety, severe sleeping issues and self harm, along with symptoms of multiple mood and personality disorders that i won’t name.
i don’t have an amazing home life; my brother is sometimes quite verbally aggressive and my mum’s a borderline alcoholic; and at times my health has been at risk because of it. i already have a therapist but i feel like i need extra support because there are things i can’t bring myself to tell her.
what do i do?
@gracieex it must be really tough to be dealing with all of these things... it's good that you have a therapist but if you find yourself not fully being able to tell them everything, is it because you don't feel like you fully trust them or is it because you are having a hard time opening up fully? if it's the first case, maybe you could try finding another therapist?
are you getting any sort of treatment/medication for the issues you are dealing with? maybe it could help to find some sort of community with people dealing with similar issues so you can connect with others and also gain insight/advice from their experiences. i think 7cups has some subcommunities but there's probably also like discord or group therapies in real life.
