My mom won't take me to a therapist even though she has free mental health from work. She thinks my depression is made up. I am extremely depressed for various reasons and have taken up drugs to cope, but I just feel even worse when I come down because remember why I took them in the first place.
For a couple of months now I've been having an identity crisis with my personality and sexuality. I wish I wasn't born in this body (female) and am sexually attracted to women. I don't have anyone irl I can talk to about this and I can't see a psychiatrist or therapist...I also want to see one because I have episodes where I will be furious for no reason. I don't think it's normal to be angry like this, but maybe it's the depression. My relationship with my dad is terrible and I'm scared he'll beat me if I talk to him anyway so that's out of the question.
I'm in my senior year of high school and my grades are slipping from the stress and depression. I have no motivation and am falling asleep all day on weekends and can't focus in school, I just feel sluggish. I haven't applied to any colleges because I want to go my first year at a community college, but my mom says I can't do that. But I'll be 18 so will she have a say?
I don't have any close friends to talk about this to and I am on a thin string from just giving up. What can I do to help myself from with depression, besides drugs and therapy (since I can't go). Sorry for long post.
I don't know if I can go to my school counselor for this because I'm not sure if they're obligated to call the police on my drug use or because I could be suicidal.
