TW: brief mention of SH
So my mental health has really been taking a turn for the worse these past few months and I'm not sure what to do. I really want therapy but find it really difficult to talk about mental health with them. My mother said she would look into getting me therapy but it's been over a month and she hasn't brought it up again so I think she thinks I'm better or something. I'm fairly certain I have depression and possibly some other issues.
Right now I don't harm myself but I'm really worried that it's just gonna get worse and worse that that I might start eventually. I don't even really feel like I can always talk to my friends about it because most of them are struggling even more than I am.
I know that I need help but I also invalidate myself a lot and I'm really scared.
Thanks so much for the advice! She actually did end up following up eventually and I've started therapy. Obviously things aren't all better but * knock on wood * things are moving in the right direction.
