How can I get out of therapy?

So my mom thinks Im beyond depressed and everything becuase I never talk to my family because I cant stand any of them.She doesnt listen to me when I say that Im always happy when Im around my friends.She then decided to sign me up for therapy which is the last thing I wanna do.I’ve tried explaining to her why I dont talk to them and she then just goes off on how she thinks Im depressed.How do I get of it?

Answer #1

when I was 13 years old, I was in anger management because me and my dad fought all of the time. sitting there just pissed me off. when I was 14, I was forced in a suicide watch rehab. at the time, I wasn’t even suicidal, only quiet and hating my family. they came no where close to understanding how I really felt. I was put on an anti-depressant called wellibutron (sp?) it made me sleep all the time. I became sucidial after a lot of heartbreaking events: my first love, and virginity holder broke up with me, he and his friends were horrible to me, my dad, sister, and I never stopped fighting, I gained 20 pounds, and my ex continued to use and verbally abuse me. I fell into some horrible things that you could never even imagine. 2 years later I emerged from the pit, and changed things FOR MYSELF, BY MYSELF. I dealt with it all until I could move and get away for awhile, a few years later I am becoming successful and engaged to an amazing man. who wouldve thought? the pothead freshman who always slept with seniors, from the trailer park? successful? engaged? si. If there is something you are unhappy about, you are the only one who can work to change it, especially when it feels like the rest of the world is against you. although you argue with your family, deep down you love them- maybe it would help your relationship with them if you went to the counseling. you never know- you may learn something extraordinary.

I hope my long and lame, but very true story has helped you - in the slightest, made you think about some things. do whats right for you. in anything-everything.

ok…dont listen to cyberthewolf lol… bt neway, I had the same problem…twice…once last yr and before that. I go to a boarding skl and they forced me into theropy twice. I protested quite a lot, as it was just causin me pain and nothing was getting any better, so in the end I realised that they couldnt force me to do it, so I just didnt go and after a while they got the picture and pretty much gave up on me :) hope this helps.

What’s the worst thing that can happen? You’ll waste an hour of your life talking to someone who isnt going to be judging what you say? It will make your mother happy, she’ll quit bugging you about being depressed, and if in a few sessions you both agree that this isnt doing any good, then you’ll move on… Seriously, what’s the big deal? The more you fight this, the more your mother will think you have something to hide. Remember, the therapist will not disclose specifics to your mother (with the obvious exception of suicidal, homicidal, and self-injurious behavior, or some kind of abuse), so what’s the worst that can happen? The therapist can also not read your mind, so you decide how much to disclose. If you dont want to talk about something, just say so…

Answer #4

I agree whit Love_n_hate.

A family is something that should be apriciated, I wish I had a mom that cared about me enuff to get me help. I mean here you are just being stuborn,

Meaby tell your therapyst how you feel and then he/she will pass it on to your mom or something.

GOOD LUCK:)

Answer #5

You know a lot of people dont have family you should be thankfull you have family…God what id do to have my family. Once you get older you realize how much you really need your family and especially be thankful for having them care about u. Maybe if you talk to your mom she can see how your feeling and just let her know your in a stage whereyou just find yourself happier being with friends tell her that you dont think thearapy will help because all kids go threw this in there teen years and thearapy isnt going to change that. Well hope I helped some. Rate if you like. and good luck!!
