" Hey hun. I was happy to read your post because it shows that you are wanting to reach out and try to get help.

I am not sure of how old you are, but you may just need to sit down with your parents and say "I need help. I cant do this alone."

Have they been supportive of you?

I was looking around for some resources for you.

" Thanks so much!

i dont know if i have the strength to call anyone just now
and i dont really know how my parents will respond.
i think its gonna go a lil something like.....
"Your doing so great! you can talk to us! we're always here! those counclers just want your money, we care about you"
im sick of hearing it.
no they cant help me, i cant talk to them
they cant understand.
and idk if they care... they understand and i just want someone there... even if i am paying them "
