Please help, I’m afraid my councilor will tell my parents…?

March 16, 2010 admin 6 comments

i’m a fourteen year old girl, and i have been seeing a councilor at school for depression, self harm, alcoholism, suicide and insomnia. It sound like a lot but it all just merges into one, that’s just the best way i can explain it. I have kept this a secret from everyone, and this is how i like it. But my councilor said that it might be necessary for me to start taking antidepressants, which would firstly involve approval of my parents…
i am really sacred she is gunna tell on me and that my whole cover will be exposed!
What should i do? My family has enough on it’s plate as it is without me dumping my problems on them too! and no-matter how well it is explained to them they’re never going to see me in the same way as they used to, they’re gunna be ashamed – even scared – of me and i love them too much for them to see me that way. They are the only people in the world that i really care what they think about me…. i just know that if my councilor tells then the dynamics of our family will change for the worst and it’ll all be my fault!! What should i do?!

She has to tell or else she can get in trouble.
I’m not trying to scare you but I went through the same thing and she had to tell.
My mom was pretty understanding, all you can do is try to explain it to your parents so that they don’t blame themselves or jump to conclusions.

You need to tell your parents. They would rather help you and get you what you need to help yourself rather than have you talking to the school counselor and being in the dark about everything.

It would also help to have their support, instead of doing it on your own.

Unless you are planning on killing yourself or someone else, she can’t tell anyone. However, if you decide that you’d like to take anti-depressants you will need to have your parents’ approval. Trust me…I went through this a couple of months ago and it’s a great relief to have your parents know. It sucks at first and even feels a little bit awkward, but having your parents’ support makes things just a little bit easier. And yes, your parents might have a lot of other things to deal with, but you’re their child. A parents’ greatest treasure is their child. If they know you’re hurting, they’ll want to help. Have faith in them. Good luck.

All counsellors have a client confidentiality policy. Your counsellor may have to ask for your parents agreement to you taking anti-depressants (because of your age) but what she can not do is tell your parents anything about your conversations.
By the way, the problems of your family are not your fault.

First of all even though your family has a lot on its plate, so does every family in the world to some degree or another.

Second, if your family is the only people in the world you really care about what they think then you should consider they care as much about you as well.

How do you know they will be ashamed and scared of you?
You need an evaluation from competent medical professionals. Your counselor is concerned about you as I am even though I do not know you.
To suffer from depression, self harm, alcoholism, suicide and insomnia is a heavy load for anyone especially at 14 years old. Please seek medical help. Do not let you fear of how your family will react keep you from taking care of you. Your counselor can be a great source of strength and support during this time in your life. Have faith; your family may just surprise you, but most important find the help you need, please.

Finally, you are of infinite worth, for the worth of souls is great in the sight of the Lord. Pray and He will help you. He will go before you, be on your right hand and on your left to bear you up.

Your parent WILL NOT hate you; nothing will change in your family except you will get proper medical help and therapy. This is from someone who’s gone through all you have and still suffers from depression. Do you know Depression is a MEDICAL condition and not a mental one? It’s because the hormones in your brain are not balanced, medication from an appropriate doctor will help Get therapy at least once a week. Through therapy I found out the reason for my depression, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. are because I hold everything in: things that make me angry, etc. Talking with a therapy spews out all the anger or other feelings that caused my conditions in fhe first place.

Your and your family don’t have to tell anyone else. I know, I was also very ashamed when I had severe depression, I didn’t tell any of my friends (not good especially if they are “True best friends.), but I DID TELL MY FAMILY FINALLY. They were more worried about me not having discussed it with them sooner. Never once did they think of me differently and never made me feel ashamed, and they continued to love me. Your parents LOVE you, you are their priority, especially since you are so young.

The dynamics of you family will be even closer and loving than it is now if you tell them and ask for their help. All things you are suffering from CAN HE HELPED AND EVENTUALLY ALLEVIATED COMPLETELY. Even alcoholism.

TELL PARENTS AND ASK FOR THE HELP YOU NEED.
THEY WILL NOT BE ASHAMED OF YOU
THEY WILL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU OUT

Their is NO SHAME in suffering from depression, insomnia, self-harn. Help yourself by asking for the help you need. You are so young and you should not carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You should be enjoying life being happy, joyful, having lots of friends, and participating in all the positive fun things 14 years old do now.

I can’t emphasize this enough:

TELL YOUR PARENT
ASK FOR THE HELP YOU NEED
YOUR FAMILY WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT AND PROVIDE THE HELP YOU NEED.

I wish you the best, young lady. Please the advice; you’ll be surprised by the outcome. I wish and pray for you asking and receiving the help you need. And for you to step by step alleviate these sufferings I’ve also experienced.
