my mom knows i'm in therapy. it's freaking me out. i'm also very worried about a close friend. i haven't eaten all day. HELP!
I hope you've had something to eat! I don't think I've ever gone an entire day without eating at least something.... It's important for your mind and soul, as well as your body.
What's the deal with your Mom? How did she find out that you're in therapy? Did you tell her? Did the school? Is she supportive at all?
And what about this friend? Do you think she might be concerned about you, also?
Sorry for the 20, no 7, questions.... !
Big Calming Hugs to you.

Sorry you're having a rough time. Try to stay centered. Like the hub of a wheel. If we get too "out there" with things we can't control, it's easy to get freaked. Remember you're doing the right thing by having a therapist. Your Mom doesn't have to know all the details.
Just be a good friend, and do what you can. We can only do so much. xo
