I finally overcome my fear and ask my mom to talk with me later..but now i feel like regreting it..im suppose to tell her about my problems that she never knew since i was born..im quiet and i also keep everything by myself since i was young..i dont want to be a burden and stress to our family members..but the more i became like this..the more i cause trouble to them..to the point that they admitted to me that they dont know me at all..thats why i came up with the idea of telling them everything but im afraid..im nervous..i dont know what should or how should i talk to my mom..im also suppose to ask her to let me go on counselling..i feel like im suffering from anxiety and depression..more likely social and generalize anxiety and chronic depression..i want to tell them everything but i feel like i cant..i feel so useless..i feel like im only causing trouble..and i hate it..but who else should i blame if not myself?..if my talk with my mom didnt went well..i dont know what to do with myself anymore..

You don’t have to tell her every detail if you don’t want to. Just explain that you really feel you need to talk to someone and that you’re struggling to cope. That should be enough. It’s not about blame or being a burden. Everyone needs help at some point in their lives. Even if the talk doesn’t go well for some reasons, there are other things you can try.
I’m living this from the parental side. I truly believe our lives have gotten better because our kid told us shat was going on. Has it been easy? Not always. But I love that kid. I will do ANYTHING I can to help him.
My point? I think they need to know, at least whatever you’re comfortable telling them…otherwise they can’t truly support you. Do NOT worry about causing them stress; if they are loving parents, they will want to support you. Stress is just part of the job.
By the way…it hasn’t been easy, but I wouldn’t trade the relationship with my kid for anything.
Sorry about the long reply. Hope it makes sense. Hang in there!
I already talked to them and it went well..my mom understand everything and thanked me for opening up to her..we’re planning on meeting a counselor next week..i feel so relieved now..thank you for those who replied to this
That’s great, hope it goes well for you.
Awesome! Hope it all works out. Just keep on keeping on.
