I've hit my breaking point. I need to get help but I need to tell my parents first, I'm sure they have no idea what's really going on. I don't know how to tell them, I have enough trouble holding a conversation with them. This is an obstacle I need to overcome but I keep putting it off. One day is better then the last and I think it's not needed then all of a sudden BOOM the next is even worse and its too late. This disease is ruining my life and I'm fed up.

could you give them a copy of your post?

it might be a good way to start,

if you don't feel that you can talk to them.

hello, if you have trouble discussing this with your parents what about putting it in a letter, this might make it easier than a face to face conversation as your parents can read then discuss it with you, it wont hurt to start making enquires about help for you while you decide to tell your parents

good luck

Hi sweetie, you are in a tough spot. Are you not old enough to seek psychiatric help without your parents or would you feel terrible, like you are going behind their back? Have you been diagnosed with an illness and you r not getting support for it? In Australia we have not for profit organisations that are 24 hour help lines for people feeling just like you do. Do you have them where you are? I think you are going to have to make a decision as you sound like you need some intervention. Write down your options and work from there. There is a solution for everything. Don't give up. Keep fighting!

Maybe you could start by telling them that "you've reached your breaking point", I mean I think it gets the point across that you are serious about this situation. The note idea is also a good idea, I guess it is just what you are more comfortable with. I have found that the anticipation of somethings are worse then actually doing them, sometimes it's just better to do it instead of thinking about it or that is how it is for me.
