The topic of therapy actually came up with my parents today because my therapist was contacting them about my long break from sessions. My parents came to the conclusion that I should go back, but after this quarter ends because my grades have been suffering, and they want me to study instead of spending time going to therapy. Also, my family is against most medication, I think because they fear if I am medicated I'll actually kill myself (I talk about it often at home, but nobody takes me seriously).
I switch between wanting to be in therapy because I feel deep down that I should be, and not wanting to because of how hard it is to look at someone and tell them about the negative parts of my personality. Also, everyone around me tells me that all I have to do is think and control myself, and I do kind of think it's BS to continue to tell myself that it's out of my control. I can't think of anything someone could possibly say to me to help me change and feel better, but for some reason I keep hoping it will happen.

I was in no way trying to offend you. I asked if you were on drugs because of your age and the fact that even though I have had a personality disorder my entire life, my symptoms became much worse (actually, completely out of control) when I was using a large amount of drugs in my early teens/tweens. It was a fair question, and one that your psychiatrist will certainly ask you during your interview.
My drug use paired with my disorder was a toxic combination that caused me to attempt suicide, (not just screw around crying wolf) twice before I was admitted to several psychiatric hospitals for the rest of my teen years. I am simply asking, because if you are in fact using drugs and are found to additionally have some sort of mental disorder, the results could be disastrous. Take care to be honest. They will find out on the first day of being admitted. If they believe you to be a liar from the start, you will sink to hell repeatedly before your release.
