Morgan,
I'm proud of you for making an appointment to meet with you school guidance councilor. That shows commitment to healing..and when you're young and feeling trapped, that can be a very difficult thing to hold on to.
I really want you to stop abusing the Motrin. I realize it numbs things out for you but it is only a quick fix with long term damaging consequences. Motrin is very hard on the kidneys and can cause kidney damage and failure.
You mentioned your Mom being concerned about your eating habits. Does she have a need to be concerned? And be honest. Are you having symptoms of an eating disorder, or are you just not eating as healthy as you could be? A lot of people snack on pretzels or nuts throughout the day so I don't see how she could come to the conclusion that you need to see a Dr. by that.
But.....would it be so bad if she took you to a Dr? If she made you see a Dr., you could ask to speak with the Dr. alone and could have an opportunity to share about what you are going through. You would have a chance to discuss your feelings of not wanting to live, how your Mom is constantly yelling at you and also the other issues that have been going on with her. Dr's are mandated reporters, which means if you tell them about abuse or neglect going on in your household they are legally mandated to report it to proper authorities, and they may be able to advocate for you to get into therapy to help you cope with these issues until you can move out.
So, yeah...no one really wants to have to go see a Dr...but this person could become an ali.
Hang in there...and keep posting. We all support you and we are all here for you!!!
