Im sorry it didnt
work out quite right. Still you did the
right thing. Maybe you can open up to this
person she wants you to talk to and even
if they arent the right one to help they
could point you in then right direction
and validate to your parents that its more
than just a movie. Keep trying to speak
out your mom doesnt understand what is
going on exactly and probably thinks you
have something troubleing you but just
doesnt realize the severity. I would still
try writing it all down. Keep a sort of
journal, one for your private use and one
to share with a therapist when you find
the right one. Im sorry you probably feel
pretty helpless. Im not sure your age is
it possible you could seek help yourself?
I would get the phonebook and call a few
doctors offices and ask them how to
approach this with your parents that you
feel you need someone who understands this
to talk to not a herbalist or whatever :p
Good luck hon dont give up

Tangerine,
Be persistent with your mom. Tell her
everything. Write it down and put it in a
note to her. When you see the social
worker be frank and honest. Tell him/her
everything. Ethically they can not nor
should they ignore you and the symptoms
you are having. Is there another adult in
your life that you trust - a teacher,
counselor, coach, aunt, uncle,
grandparents, parent of a good friend,
clergyman? They can run interference for
you with your mom. Do not give up! You did
the right thing. You can not take
responsibility for another person's
responses to things. Parents often go into
denial when there is something wrong with
their children. Mental illness is poorly
understood by most and less accepted by
most so you can see why your mom would not
want to accept anything may be wrong.
Keep knocking on doors! Someone will
listen. Let us know how you are. We are
here for you!

I saw the social worker. She said I'm
fine.
I don't know why I feel so empty though.

Ya know, there really are people and/or
"things"(one of the two or both) that can
read your mind.
Was everybody aware of that? Because that
actually happens.
Do some research on the phenomenon because
it's very real, mind reading, thought
transference(like you making others think
things as if there was a voice in there
head), and shtuff like that.
It's a magical world people, and I think
that we'd be pretty suprised to know just
how magical it really is. However, I'm
not saying that that is a good thing.

Tangerine,
Maybe you *are* fine, but from what you
say, a social worker is not best qualified
to tell you that. I think you need a
proper medical evaluation by a
psychologist and you really must go back
to your mother, or a trusted teacher, and
be open and honest about how miserable you
are. Your mother may not want to face up
to it, or may think she is doing best by
you in playing it down, but a teacher is
legally bound to act on - or pass on to
the correct agencies - information that
you give her regarding your mental
welfare. I urge you to be self-reliant
and go out and get the help you feel you
need.

it's hard for me to do that, though. I
don't know....Alex is gay, just to tell
you. And now he has a boyfriend who has
been with me for about two weeks. His name
is Devon. He likes watching Wife Swap and
Flip that House. His mom and dad are
splitting up. He's allergic to peanuts.
What's really disturbing is
how....real...they are...
