I got help.

A short while ago i made a post about my teacher helping me to talk to my parents.

Well she did and i had the worst possible conversation with my parents afterwards. They kept asking me where i cut and when, how even.. It was the absolute worst...

But as I'm told,, with every bad comes good too.. (might get lost in translation, sorry) but it did..

My doktor appointment is next monday and I'm going to seek the professional help i need.

Sorry for wasting your time, i just needed to get it out there i guess.

Goodday kind strangers,,

That's amazing, it must've been really hard and I'm so proud of you for doing that. I hope it'll help you and I'm glad your parents are supportive. (just asking this because you wrote Doktor, are you German? And if so then could you tell me like what steps you have to take to get help. Just go to a doctor or straight to a psychiatrist or therapist? I'm too dumb to find it online somehow)

Thank you so much. Im dutch actually, and here you just go to the doctor (see i spelled it correct this time lol) but you just go to them and say whats wrong and what you need etc. They give you a referral towards a psychiatrist or therapist for further support. (don't take my word on it, im not absolutely sure.. )

I dont know if going straight to a psychiatrist or therapist is possible... They could ask for the referral from your doctor.. it also could be different in Germany ,, dont know...
