It's nothing to be ashamed of.

I have severe OCD. My parents always deny it, but I think we all know I do. It hurts me that they can't just admit it. I don't want them to be ashamed of me.

They have to find a different coping mechanism.

I get high every night to cover up the pain from my anxiety and depression. I need to get help, but everytime I ask for it my mom denies me from it. How can I get better if she won't let me...

They're the ones who should support you the most.

I'm scared to tell my parents about my social anxiety because I know they'll just deny it and say I'm lying. I'm not though. So I can't talk to the two people who should believe me 24/7 😪

Denial.

I tried to tell my dad that I have panic attacks.
Whenever I bring it up again, he denies it, then tries to shut me up so he won't have to face the facts that I am possibly going through anxiety.

They need to do the proper research.

My mom told me she doesn't think I have OCD just because I don't keep my room clean. Shut up! It's more then just being neat and tidy.

The worst.

I have really bad anxiety and get awful panic attacks but my parents don't believe that anxiety is a mental illness and they don't take me seriously
