    I know it’s just a meme but if you’re reading this as a minor with parents who deny science/therapy, talk to your school counselor. They are there to help you and will work with you to find resources locally that can help. They may also be able to speak with your parents on your behalf - with your consent - to explain the benefits of counseling or therapy.

    Happiness and mental wellness is a fundamental human right and you deserve to feel better, even if your parents don’t want to help.

      I know you’re trying to help, but doing this made things at home so much worse for me. Child services had bigger fish to fry. Life would have been so much easier if I just dealt with it myself.

      My dad would use my high school crisis against me until I stopped giving him the opportunity when I went no contact with him.

      Which is why my mother homeschooled me. Couldn’t let the indoctrination happen. Just gotta pray away the self harm and eating disorder.
