I don't know what to do, i'm stuck. i'm at the point where my thoughts in my head won't shut up and they tell me i need to be sicker in order to get help.....but i know in my heart i want to get better. My parents want me to explain what goes on in my head, but they won't understand. they never have. and they'd be terrified. I just really want to get better but my parents don't see any progress on the outside..but they have no idea about the battle i'm fighting within my head. They say that i'm doing this for attention and that I have nothing to be sad about or anything to hate myself for.... well maybe in their eyes their isn't but inside my head there are loads of things that i can't control that i hate myself for. I really don't know what to do. please help. :(((

Are you seeing a therapist? Sounds like you are from what you said. Maybe try family therapy or mediation. It sounds like your parents aren't "listening" to what you're telling them. A therapist can maybe help you explain your side to them.
Try to stay positive. Nature walks help me- takes my mind off problems. Or classical music. Mozart, Beethoven. Have you talked to another family member or a friend?
Anyway, I'm here for ya! You can bounce things off me or just let off steam.
