I'm a teenager (I won't say specific age), and I think I have depression. I have all the symptoms, but I'm scared to get therapy therapy or medical help because my mom thinks I'm overreacting and I'm "just sad." I want to be homeschooled, but my parents immediately shut that down since both of them work. I hate school in all forms, the kids, the lack of quiet, the immense stress, everything. I just can't open up, no matter how hard I try, I just feel like I should be the one giving support, and I'm talking too much about myself and laying my problems on other people, when they have their own. My parents don't support me being a therian when my sister told them, my dad got angry when I asked for homeschool and gave them reasons why, my mom was neglected as a child, I don't have a good relationship with my dad, I have severe anxiety and species dysphoria, not to mention suicidal thoughts, it just piles up. I'm sorry for throwing all this out here out of the blue, and I'm sorry for my poor writing. (I always do bad on essays)

I don't know that therapy will help depression unless the cause of the depression is one or more traumas. Getting medicine from a doctor is a better alternative and other than that you can buy fish oil tablets which help depression.
I understand your hatred of school. I hated school so much that our family doctor advised my parents to take me out as it was so detrimental to me. I left when I was 15. Home schooling was unheard of in those days. You will be best to see a doctor and tell her/him all of what you have said in your post and I hope you get a good result. I wish you all the best and hope the doctor helps you. Otherwise wag school.
ReplyJoin the Freedom of Form Organization if you get the chance (look it up online), and for depression, I have found that simulating the emotions I want others to feel helps me, as I then vicariously feed off their energy surplus. Fear elicits rejection, but upbeat presentation promotes closeness.

ReplyAs a fellow teen with depression, I can say, I understand. It may be hard, but find I a time when you are all together, and sitting. And tell them how you feel. It will be hard, but it will be worth it. If you need help, feel free to reach out to me. My Tiktok and Discord are both under SunnyPumpkins. Just tell me that you are from Novni.
