I don't suffer from depression nor have I been abused by family members or anything like that.
However whenever I feel down, lately when i get really sad ill feel VERY suicidal. i don't want to explain all my problems here but I just feel very depressed about many things. I feel like I need someone to talk to about these things. Mainly its my family who has caused me to be like this, i don't like them, respect them, so I don't want to confide in them. I don't want to talk about these things with any of my friends, i trust them and love them but i hate sharing my family/personal life with them. I don't have any adult I can confide or trust either. I really don't know. Ive read that having a therapist is considered weird or stupid unless i have had a bad childhood/been bullied/ or i cut myself or something - which i haven't. Do I really need a therapist or am I just being stupid.
Also is there anyway I can get one without anyone knowing.. (a.e my parents) I don't want a single person to know. and last time I told an old doctor of mine she called my mom and scheduled the appointment with her ( my mom had no idea i asked for a therapist) so i was forced to tell her it was a mistake and never asked for one.
