I've tried bringing up the idea of going to a mental professional before and they've kind of dropped it very quickly. Especially my mom who started looking up other methods of healing my possible ailments rather than seeking professionals for guidance. But I'll find a way to fix all of this, I'm sure. Either way, thank you all for the support. It truly does mean a lot. You're all very amazing people.

Thank you so much for reading. Have a wonderful day!
You can still talk to your doc/care provider, and you can actually get help yourself at your age, through a school counselor, or a local mental health center/peer support groups/other. Some of the things your mom looks up might be helpful----don't dismiss them out of hand---but do do what seems to work for you, and don't be afraid to talk to others/or to disagree with mom. I am sure you will do well & there are lots of people here who hear you
