My parents have reached out and have tried to help a few times, but every time they bring anything up that even vaguely relates to issues I have I freak out. I just can't talk to them about things. It hurts. I get shaky and light-headed and I don't even like thinking about it. I want to get help, but I just cannot talk to my parents about it. 
I think guilt is a definite possibility. I just don't know why I am feeling this so intensely and acting the way I am. It kind of scares me. |
Well, I don't know the relationship with your parents. But I have been a teen in distress with
no help from my parent. I did want his help, and I tried to reach out, and was blown off.
So, I know it is hard to ask for help sometimes, and it can be very scary. But from my view if you have parents who want to help you is a very positive thing! Also, getting help sooner rather than later is better. I feel I have far more problems now because I never received the care and treatment I needed before it got worse.
My advice is if your parents want to help, let them. You deserve to be taken care of and to work toward healing!
