But I have a problem: the people in my country haven't yet accepted these problems, I really cannot tell my family: if I tell my mom and dad they will yell at me and consider me a weakling (which I actually am), my dad doesn't agree with therapy, I could tell my grandma, but I would only stress her out, and she is quite old and I do not want to put her through this (she basically raised me, and I tell ber everything, but a while ago, I found out that if I was telling her how bad I felt she would be then unwell, so I only tell her happy things now), if I tell my brother, I will kind of encourage him to do the same (though he already self-harms by interfering with the healing of his scratches, and my parents don't realise this!). I am so ashamed of myself that I want to sort this out without putting pressure on those around me. I have to do it on my own. I would pay for therapy, but I am still in school and I don't want to tell my parents, I have tried the school counselor but she is too busy with other stuff.
