Ok so I'll get straight to the point..
I am terribly afraid of telling my parents and/or my doctor what I feel..
My parents are always there for me, which is wonderful but even though their there they don't listen.. I hurt my eye awhile ago, slightly by accident but also on purpose, I got bleach into my eye and was severely hurt.. I went to the doctors and they gave me medicine and said that if the light irritated it a lot, I would need to wear an eye patch which I ended up using.. But It took three days or so from complaining and crying that I needed one.. My parents dismissed it by saying that I wanted attention.. They ALWAYS say this... So this brings me to my problem..
I have noticed symptoms and I know for sure that I have to get checked out for some things that have been bothering me for a long time now.. But I am scared to tell my parents, thinking they will turn me away and say I'm lying.. I thought about telling my doctor but I am scared she'll be like my parents and just come up with an excuse for the symptoms..
Does anyone have advice to convince, or any advice on how to tell my doctor about my problems..?
