Does therapy work?
I’m 16f, and I’m going to college soon. No one in my family knows I have selective mutism. nor my school, to them I’m just the weird kid that doesn’t talk.
honestly if I tell my parents they probably won’t take me seriously because I act “normal at home”.
I’m not gonna talk to my guidance counselor about feelings and shit.
So I just need someone to talk to, like journaling, trying to stay present, or that bullshit chat gpt tells you about revealing yourself to 1 person. (Like wth are you even talking about the words don’t come out, like I just told you this dumb hoe)
Anyways that shit doesn’t work, I know my parents won’t pay for therapy and I’m 16, which means no job-no money- but eventually when I make my own income it could work out for me.
I just don’t wanna waste money and time on bullshit that doesn’t work.
But I don’t want to be like this forever so has it ever worked?
