Scared to tell parents

deleted_user

I'm scared to tell parents about my breakup with my girlfriend. They do not know I dated and loved her. I have been suffering from a broken heart and losing a best friend for 10 months. I am going out of my mind. I need help.

I went to a therapist but I did not tell him about the breakup. I was scared he would tell my parents. I want anti-depressants not because it is cliche or anything, I just am not happy anymore. Everyone means nothing.

...especially without her.

any suggestions?

Well i dont hink you have to tell your parents until your ready to tell them. Ive been harming on and off since i was 15 im now 22 and havent told my parents. I think you should tell your doctor how your feeling though. I dont think they are allowed to tell your parents unless your a danger to yourself coz of the whole confidentuallity thing. If you cant say the words write it down and give it to them then they can just read it. Hope you find the help you need.
