Yes you really need to spell it all out to the Doc.

Sadly your mom is like many people who think this is a mind over matter. Share with her some of our posts on other threads that described our illness. Show her that others much older than you suffer from this. It is not an over dramatic kid thing!

Show her my post called This is my life for example. Not because it's mine but you know what I'm saying.

Thanks for this!

If you are only 16 then you aren't emotionally mature enough to have sex. I'm sure that you will continue to have sex but if at all possible your best bet is to wait until you're at least 18.

Get meds and counselling to help you cope and understand yourself. You are filling a void in your life with sex - and I'm telling you; it cannot be filled with sex. It creates a false sense of love and belonging, which only lasts for a fleeting time-period.
Sex is not the answer - the answer is inside yourself. As Baltazar mentions - this comes through maturity, and therapy definitely too.

Don't take this for more than what it is and that is just my view based on what you are saying.

On one hand your mom is not getting it but you are not helping by not seeing the big picture with your sexual inclinations.

Sex is not for mental healing and it is not a toy you just play with. Oh that is the way Hollywood would have you believe it is. It is not like getting on a roller coaster.

Yes people will tell you it is but they are lying, trust me. There are countless studies that prove that bear this out. A callous or casual view of sex has never worked and never will it is just that simple.

Especially at your age. Perhaps these types of rationalizations are making it harder for your mom to grasp your problem.

I know it isn't helping you.

PS- this may appear to be a moral post, but the statistics don't lie nor do people in therapy and in anonymous studies
