So before I tell you whats going on, I just wanna say that I don't know if this can be posted here or not so if it isn't can you just ingnore that?

Well my mom is making me do this workout program thing that's supposed to get you ready for any sport. My problem is that im terrified of working out infront of people. And to make it worse, its supposed to be for my little brothers football team so they can be fit for next season (there all like 11 and younger, I'm 14). But the coach says that girls can do it too, and its not like I have a choice in this AT ALL. She said if I don't do it she's going to give my laptop to my little sister. Its not fair, she knows I have depression but she still makes me do stuff like this. I even told her how I felt about this and she doesn't care. I fucking HATE my life...

What I might suggest is scheduling an appointment with a psychiatrist and getting put on anti-anxiety medications.

First, this has nothing to do with an eating disorder.

Second, I don't really know if there is much you can do, unless you want to lose your laptop (which I do agree is unfair). I do agree with the previous poster, in talking to a therapist of some sort about this, as this is a good opportunity however to conquer your fear of working out in front of people. I do think your mom is being somewhat unreasonable though.

Here's an idea;

Talk to her. Tell her how you're feeling, open up to her and just be honest. Humility is a good thing. It humbles us and teaches us that, even though we're in a tough spot now, it'll always get better. She's your mother, she won't treat you any different for being honest and coming out about your depression.

As for the fear of working out in front of people, I used to have that too. The more you do it, the less it'll bother you. Soon, you'll realize that everyone is already worried about doing their own thing. No one's paying attention to you. And if they are, screw them, do you. It's just a work out.
