I was forced to see a psych every week that came to my house and checked in with the family all because of my attendance in middle school(constantly waking up late and missing the bus so I had no choice really. Lived far away from school.) My family and school thought I was depressed or some shit so they arranged for this.
A few months down the line I'm spending the night at my grand parents house so I could get to school early and my aunt and grandmother decide to give me some shit over taking a fucking bath. I told them I didn't want to since I took a shower earlier and was going to do it in the morning but they continued to press me on that shit. So I got pissed and told them to fuck off and did this hand gesture that they took as a sign that I wanted to stab them or some shit. Fast forward about a week later, shrink comes though I decide to just stay in my room and sleep, they tell her that I got overly agitated and threatened to stab them. Shrink got worried and called the cops, cops came and they called for an ambulance to come and take me to a psych ward.
My youth was fun.

Therapy is just a meme. You literally paying so someone can hear about you bitching, and what most anons have told me they don't even get to bitch since the therapist is doing most of the talking.
I started with Paxil and therapy in 5th grade. I was a real whiner about it. Should've just kept my mouth shut because I'm still pretty much the same.

Went to therapy for anxiety but my parents didn't really know about my depression. They didn't understand that me crying wasn't necessarily panic attacks as much as just being sad. My first counselor tried to gradually push we through by giving me "homework". The first one was to say hello to kids in school, then the next one was go out with friends,etc. It didn't help. I was lucky enough that it was when we were all turning 16 so I actually did start going out and doing things with the few friends I had (which I never did before). Anyway I got out of therapy and my parents thought it worked but in reality it was just the fact we could all drive at the time.
It didn't work and it was a waste of my time emotionally and physically.

This. I don't want to sound edgy ass "parents don't underSTaNd! xd" but in a lot of cases it was just them being close minded.
