I need advice.
I know I need help, I want help, I want to be able to talk to my parents about how I feel, I’m tired of being seen as the happy girl with no problems. That’s why I’m scared to say anything about how I’ve been feeling for so long, will they believe me? Will I disappoint them? I never talk to them about much anymore, I don’t feel I can. How can I tell them something like this?
How can I tell them? I’m dying inside day after day.
Feeling insecure,

Dear PURPLEPAIN,
You should ask your mom or dad maybe both to sit down with you and that you need to discuss some heavy thoughts with them. Start with something like, I know you both love me very much and I respect that and it means the world to me. So I need to tell you I am not as happy as I lead you to believe. I am in need of your help and support right now.
If you tell me more of your challenges maybe we can pre-discuss the talk. Don’t be scared to write your thoughts down and bring that paper with you in case you are crying and can not talk.
I know a lot about how you feel PURPLEPAIN. There are times when I want to tell other people about how terrible I feel inside, yet there is always a great force holding me back.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to stuff ugly thoughts down just because we do want to”inconvenience” other people about our problems. If you have loving and caring parents they will want to hear your problems, no matter how big or small you might perceive them to be SPEAK UP NOW!
purple pain,
i know how you feel, i’m seen as the “happy girl” to. talk. that’s all i can say. i dont know why you should have to suffer. you dont deserve it. to whoever is willing to listen, talk to them.

@fug72269 I will, I know I will, I just can’t seem to decide on a good day or moment, or even what I’m going to say, it’s so hard… I don’t think it’s a good idea either to stuff the thoughts down, and you’re right, it’s because I’ll feel like a weight on other people’s shoulders and that’s why I’m scared sometimes :/
If you say you feel the same way, I hope you fight that force holding you back too and SPEAK UP like me, we have to make it through
I know the feeling. But honestly telling my parents was the worse thing I’ve ever done.
I am on three different medications, I go to a therapist and physiologist. My parents became over protective and I hated it. I still hide. I still cry. They don’t see that. I am back to where it started and my parents just got worse. I don’t know how your parents would take it because I don’t know you or your parents. So it’s on your own judgement. I know it’s hard but you’ve got to be strong and try your best to pull through! We are all here if you ever want to talk about it. Good Luck.
@Britney I’m sorry that things aren’t going better for you 🙁 The point is that my parents are already overprotective, especially my mom, and I don’t know how they’ll react to all this just thrown in their face. I actually would like a therapist, something like that because I know I actually need it, I’m just too scared to speak up. I hope you try to pull through too, lots of love
@idontknowme , I am hoping to find courage, I know I have it deep inside me, I just don’t wanna wait until this is too unbearable anymore.
I want to be the happy girl image we give off, I’m just not
How are things for you?
Have lots of courage. You can do it! Tell them if you know that’s what you want. I didn’t want to tell mine. My ex boyfriend made me. So do what you feel is right and keep your head held high! I know you can! I believe in you!
