My parents are understanding but...
In India we have a stigma surrounding mental health that if I told them that I am suffering from something mentally then they firstly be bothered and secondly very less chances of finding a good therapist and thirdly money but that is not a major problem as they can go for it but I don't want their money to get wasted and fourthly what if they shout on me or say you are the only one who never became a topper of your school and always worry about stupid things and now this problem I can't tell them what I am going through so I need a therapist but getting a therapist is also not easy and I completed my high school with psychology and now entering in college to study it from next to next month and when I took this subject I never knew I am myself suffering from such a disorder but now I need help Can anyone suggest me a way to convince my parents to take me to a therapist. Sometimes I get anxiety over that I can't believe I am suffering from something mentally, like literally me as I lack acceptance and I want my therapist to make me stronger.
