How do I tell my parents I want to go to therapy?

Me and my parents were never close like I can’t talk to them about guy stuff not even to my mom. But these past few weeks I’ve wanted to go to therapy because I feel like I have anxiety and depression and I would love to talk about it to someone who can help me. But I’m worried that they’ll be worried and ask me if everything’s going ok at school? Thank you so much for reading and please help thank you ❤️

Hi ViolonPersuasive3 :)
What you are living doesn't look easy at all. You have such a good reflex to ask for therapy, it is exactly what I think you should do. But I understand it can really be difficult to talk about it to your parents… This is absolutely normal not to know how to bring up the subject, you are not the only one to live this.

So my idea is to write them a letter. Maybe it will be easier to talk about it with words you already thought of than being in front of them and scared of their reaction, who knows! You could write in it that you don’t really want them to bombard you with questions, that you just do not feel great and need their help. It just depends on how you feel the most comfortable : speaking or writing. Or it can even be neither of them! What I mean is that you could maybe look for a documentary, an article, a movie or a song on the topic of anxiety and depression, and show it to your parents so they can better understand your reality. I am sure there are so many on the Internet that you could easily find ;)

Also, I don’t know if you know it, but if you are 14 or more, you can see a doctor, a psychologist, a counselor or any health professional without your parents’ consent. The “meeting” will be confidential and unless it is very serious, the doctor does not have the right to inform your parents of it. But you know, there aren't only psychologists to help you, there are also all your school therapists, Tel-Jeunes and many other phone services that you can contact. I give you the link to a 24/7 mental health service offered in English and French right here if you want to look at it :

I hope my message will help you a bit :) If there’s anything else you would like to share, we’ll always be there for you, never forget that. I wish you will feel better soon. Take care of yourself ❤

P-S : I’m so sorry for my English, let’s say it isn’t my best school subject ;)

Hello!
It's not easy what you're experiencing.. I think it's really good of you that you want to go see a psychologist, it's really a good idea. I would like to start by telling you that if you are 14 years old and + I believe that you can go to the CLSC without your parents knowing. I also advise you to try to tell your parents in a simple and respectful way. If they do not listen and do not understand, I advise you to go talk to a TES at school! I hope I helped!

Hi!
Hope you are doing a little better today :/

I totally understand how you feel. Know that you are not alone in this and that you are right when you say you want to talk to someone to be understood. That's a feeling everybody wants so I think it's normal you feel that way.

I loved the letter idea. Could be something that would help your parents to have a reflexion on.

I hope it's gonna be okay and that you will find the help you need. By the way, I just wanted to add that there may be someone at school like a psychologist or someone like that that you could try to talk to.

I hope I helped you! Remember we are here if you need anything :)) Take care xx

Plusieurs chose

Ben dans le fond je suis dyslexique,dysorthographique,TDA ça c’est diagnostiqué pis je me demandais si vous aviez des trucs genre pour vous concentrer sur une tache moins partir dans la lune être plus concentré moins mélanger les lettres ect

Confuse

Ok dans le fond j’ai 16 ans pis j’ai jamais eu de crush j’ai aucune idée ce que ça fais pis la je crois en avoir un mais je suis vraiment pas sûre donc j’aimerai je me demandais c’est quoi les signes quand on a des crush ?

Ambiance de classe ?

Il y a 2 mois a peu près, j'ai eu un gros problèmes avec mes deux "meilleures" amies et depuis j'ai l'impression que tout le monde me déteste puisqu'elles ont plus d'amies que moi dans la classe. Et ca m'énerve parce que de base j'était hyper sociable et extravertie et la j'ai plus qu'une amie (et elle est encore amie avec ces deux filles )

Il y a des fois je veux pleurer en classe, mais je peux pas. Ca me fait aussi chier parce que je m'assure que tout le monde va bien, mais j'ai l'impression que y'a personne qui vient me demander si moi ca va.

Je sais plus quoi faire, j'ai envie de changer d'école, mais en meme temps non parce que j'adore mon programme.
