heyy so I actually wrote a huge paragraph but it all got deleted so you'll just have a condensed version 😭

basically i've been struggling with my mental health since a bit of time now but it's been getting worse lately. i have some really dark thoughts, but there are some moments of clarity where i don't drown in them for a bit of time and tell myself "sht i rly need a therapist", and i'm trying to hang on that thought. the problem is, as a minor, i need my (single) mother to make the appointment etc, so i need to explain her everything.

let's just say she is part of the problem and she has a bit of a temper, so i don't really know how to introduce the matter and i'm really scared about how she'll react.

does anyone has suggestions about how to tell her about it without her asking me questions like "why are you feeling that way" 💀 nor getting angry??

i'm open to literally anything

thank you :)
