Social Services

For my entire life whenever I showed signs of mental illness I was threatened with "social services". It all really started with my mother who found out I self harmed she called me fowl things and then said "if you tell anyone they're going to take you away and you'll never see your siblings or me again!" So I shut up.. on occasion about once a week I break down due to stress and anxiety and I did so to my school counselor even she said, "if you don't stop emailing me I'm going to have someone come check on you" oh how trapped I feel now that I have no one to talk to.. the truth is I am afraid of my parents but I love them.. they're emotionally abusive but I can't do anything about it.. nobody takes me seriously not even when I've got injuries up to my elbows.. she made me show everyone at my sisters birthday party.. oh how trapped I feel that I've tried to console in boys who takes advantage of me..

In your case you do need outside intervention. Ask for it, tell your counselor. Not because your ill, or it is your fault. You are in a very abusive situation, that is not your fault.

Are your siblings older than you? Do you have friends to whom you can confide? You can always come here, and talk about your feelings if you feel like there is no one to talk to around you.

I'm so sorry.. We'll listen here. Have you explained this situation to your counsellor?

Hi AHeartOfRuby.

Don't` just sit there in isolation and pain! Seek a good personnel friend to confide with and maybe who will help you to seek the so needed support, and also who will listen rather than judge you!

As the other threads` have so kindly posted `Your more than welcome to ask, confide, rant, make friends` etc. on this open minded forum!

Take care..................
