DJ is similar to my mom, in that I would probably be told the same thing. When I told him I had OCD and I would likely miss days due to an anxiety attack, he told me I just need to "tough it out, you are allowing yourself to be that way". I knew straight off the bat he doesn't understand mental illness/he doesn't take it seriously.(February 18, 2016 at 9:32 pm)GeneralDog Wrote: I dont know, i dont like calling 911 about anything, ive been told not to unless its a true emergency.

It's there as a matter of last resort, should you be in a seriously unstable condition without accessible help, but you would do better if you can hold out for anybody who would help you without that. Are there any adults who you can trust regarding your medical situation? Is your half-brother an adult, and would he help you against your mother's wishes? Does your father even know what she is doing? Are there other adults who aren't stupid enough to think that using required medical treatment as leverage against a child to make him do anything, much less pay lip service to stupid religious ideas isn't a crime? If you show up on a neighbor's doorstep and are visibly unstable as a result of what your mother, whose legal custody you are presumed to be in is doing to you, then this is a crime to be reported, but it's probably best to find somebody who will get you to a doctor as soon as possible instead of call the police.
That leaves my half brother. In the case that I need it, he would help me, I'm pretty sure. He isn't a Christian so he wouldn't try and give me some spiritual advice to work out my issue, he would just take me and get me something to help.
As I said, homeschool. I am essentially stuck here in the house. The only time I get to leave is when my friends wanna hang out, or when my mom makes me go to church.
As for ways to locate the therapist. I'm going to try once more to get my mom to schedule it. Usually she says she will and never does. Tomorrow, if she doesn't have it planned, I will try and get some details. I'm sure some information is required to schedule an appointment.
I'm 14, turn 15 in May.
She finally scheduled it, I'm going next Wednesday, I'm going to try and get my brother to take me because I can't trust my mom to drive me there.
