Question by : How do I convince my parents I need a psychologist?
I’ve had SERIOUS issues for the past four years. I know I definitely have depression and every day I want to end my life more and more but, regrettably, I’ve acted perfectly fine in front of my parents. I’m approaching my breaking point. I NEED to see a psychologist. I’ve released anger/sorrow by telling my friends, but it’s not the same. I need an adult’s opinion, and someone who HAS to listen and care.
But the problem is; 1. My parents are a really horrible type of Christian. They are arrogant fools and they believe that since psychology has some origins from a sexual beginning, ALL psychologists/counsellors cannot be trusted. So at the most they’ve allowed a Christian-psychologist. I don’t want one of these, because around 80% of my problems are based on my homosexuality, and as you probably know mosts Christians ignorantly hate gay people.
Please help.

Question by hopefulmaiden: If you suddenly became paralyzed, would you want to live or die?
Someone I know has a severe degenerative neurological disease. “Bob” says that he no longer wishes to remain alive and prays for death every night (he is a professed Christian). He has suffered many devastating losses–mobility, job, friends, cognitive function (memory, clear speech, confusion, etc.), sexual function, among other things. He is still a middle aged man and this disease probably will not kill him. He understands that he is depressed, but does not “believe” in therapy or counseling (“it’s all bullsh*t”). Every day is a formidable struggle for Bob–just getting out of bed and into the bathroom takes enormous energy and concentration–he states that “this is not living–this is hell.” Don’t spout platitudes or try to tell him to “have a better attitude.” He will rip your throat out! He believes that if anyone would spend 24 hours in his mind/body, they, too, would prefer death. What would you say to Bob?
