After my incident with shoplifting, i’m even more convince that i should seek a therapist to help me through these dark times in my life. The problem is i don’t know how to approach my parents about this subject. Also before i joined this site i told no one about my problems, except for a few things i tell my friend. Anyway besides the few things i tell her i repress the rest of my problems, i don’t think i can face them, so with therapy, I’m not sure if I’m ready to unleash all of my problems and face them. Lastly, when my friend went to the hospital after a suicide attempts her parents took away her phone and started trying to change the way she dresses. So I don’t think i;m ready for my parents to get involved in my life.

I’m glad to hear you want to talk to a therapist. It is healthy to get those thoughts and feelings out. Some places I can think of to find someone to speak to is a school counselor and a priest or minister at a local church. You don’t have to be religious. Both sources may be able to point you to other sources to find someone to speak with if you don’t feel comfortable talking with them.
I hope you find someone soon to talk to. The longer you repress things the more difficult they will be to deal with later on. And trust me, these things have a way of working there way to the surface years later when you least expect it.
