I am sorry. But, many a parent would state that they won't get mental health care for their child. Many of my generation were told to pick ourselves up by our bootstraps. It was also perceived as an area for shame for some parents.
But, now, u can get all the help u need.
Because academia was so important in my family, i forced myself to go through. I received validation and what i perceived as love from pleasing my teachers with top grades.
And, people have shared with me their problems since i was quite young in grammar school. To help others, I had to go outside my comfort zone.
For me, I did go thru freudian analysis. I cannot say it helped. I had wanted to be a psychiatrist, so I did my own studies of my patterns of behavior and how to change them.
It was very difficult for me to be around the normals also. They never had the goals nor compassion that I expect to see in another human.
Hang tough. It does get easier. (For me, I did take one valium when I had a pressing need to do public speaking in school. Sometimes for the courtroom.)
Small talk with people outside your life rather becomes a learned habit.
I wish you nothing but the best. I don't want u to be sitting inside, looking at everyone else living.
I know that feeling. For me now, it is because I am disabled. Tad bit more difficult to even pretend I can live as a normal person again.
But, I have learned to ignore shyness, and let them think and say what they want. I can talk to people. i can appreciate music.
It will get better. We are here for you.
