(continued from description) "I would like to see a doctor about this but number one, I am too afraid to confront my mom about it, two, she wouldn't let me go, in fear of her own reputation, and three, have no trusted adults who could take me to the doctor, and plus, if my mother found out she would be furious...any advice? Thanks in advance."

The only thing I can tell you is talk to your mother about everything, even though you're to scared.

I understand all the obsticles and fear, but you have to weigh the consequences of each choice. For example, is finding help worth risking your mom finding out? If so, then you should go to your school councilor and say everything you just said here, including your concerns about your mom finding out and her reaction. If it's not worth the risk, then there are ways to reduce anxiety on your own by practicing deep breathing exercises and using music to calm down. And, whichever you choose, try to understand your mom and forgive her for her words and actions. None of us are perfect and we don't always know how to express our emotions well or avoid hurting others, even if we really care about them.

Maybe she´s just stressed? Maybe she has problems you don´t know yet? Try to talk to her and when she doesn´t want to talk to or if there isn´t any reason in her private life why she behaves like that it seems clear that something is wrong with her. When did she start treating you like this? Does she shout on you since you´re born or did je just start? She doesn´t beat you, does she? Anyway words also hurt. If she keeps behaving like this and you really doesn´t get along with each other you better move when you´re 18...

thanks so much
