Hey,/adv/ I am a recent HS graduate and going to college, but im afraid i wont make it. For the past few years ive been fairly depressed and have self harmed for almost a year and things are starting to get worse. Ive asked my parents to help me find a psych i could talk to or have them take me to one (as i dont have my license yet) but they just keeping telling me to get over it or just to stop being sad. Im afraid im going to do something really stupid soon and i just want to prevent it.
Is their anyway I can atleast help myself or have some else help me. Atleast until i can see a professional.

K, I'll play pschologist. What's wrong?

If you really think you need psychological help and your parents don't believe you, then ask someone else. Find a teacher you really liked or something and tell them about it.

its just, it seems like my family hates me. Im constantly put down for mistakes or for not being good enough. And every since graduation i have noticed that i really dont have any friends. I just have a perpetual feeling of being alone or not being good enough

but i cant afford a psych. My parents are quite controlling and wont release my insurance card to me
until i start college

Well, in college you'll be by yourself, so you won't have your parents putting you down.
College has pschologists you can talk to.
The worst thing you can do socially is be timid. It takes a while to get social skills but you should look towards making friends.

i know i can get help once i make it to college, but im afraid ill do something stupid before then.
Im not really shy just afraid of making friends and them just ditching me fro someone better

>College has pschologists you can talk to.
Mine kicked me out because depression had too high a liability for someone harming themselves on the campus.
Then someone killed themselves there two months later, and I'm still here. Fuck them.
