Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
As some might remember, I posted a threat a couple weeks ago about how my psychologist made an appointment with my parents to tell them I need a psychiatrist. Although I was nervous, I was quite aware that it had to happen...
The thing is it hasn't still...
The appointment was supposed to take place either last Thursday or Friday. My mother was in charge of arranging it with my psychologist according to my dad travel schedule. Apparently he had to leave the city one of those days. He didn't afterall but we still didn't go.
Neither of my parents ever brought the topic up that week, and when I asked my mother once when were we going she got deffensive.
I know we are currently low in cash (mom not working). But my self-harm is gotten worse so I now I do need the help...
Anyway, I give up...
I'm always pushing them to take me to see my psychologist...
I'm tired...
They don't take it seriously...
They react badly when I ask...
I've decided to just wait and see what happens. I won't ask them anything or tell them to go, make them remember, etc. If they are interested on what's happening they shall make the appointment and let me know. I don't know what's gonna happen but I'm done...

To this day my mother does not know that I'm bipolar. Her opinion of those she claims to know that are bipolar is very negative.
What Im saying is get yourself there. According to your profile you are old enough to have a job and make your own decisions. Quit relying on your parents. Take some innitiative
The key for me was to find a state or county run clinic. Many areas have them for free and will help you if you are short on finances. And, don't EVER feel guilty to push for help! That is exactly what you need to do.
