Matt, dude , you are 18 right? You a legal adult and if I were in your situation, I would find the fastest way to get to the ER be upfront and totally honest about EVERYTHING!!! Don't worry about school or what your parents think or dont think! If they don't realize that they have a son who needs love, understanding and medical help...tell the folks at the hospital ...call a friend or do what you need to break out of your constant situation. I know it is scary and I def. feel for your situation. But man try and take some control of it before it escalates any more! This is your life were talking about right?
If you need meds, then you need meds...don't let people tell you otherwise if this is truly the situation. This board can be and often is a lifesaver but when push comes to shove , please get help in person. Reach out and chances are very good that the medical professionals will reach out and meet you in the middle. Sorry if I sound harsh or intense that is not my objective,and you will realize that people pick up on that cry for help (especially here on Babble) if YOU know you need help and want it - go get it!Sometimes the very people that are the closest to us are the ones that may not really want to admit that one of their "own" is sick and needs help. Denial, Shame and stigma are rampant, not just the general public but sadly too it happens all to often within our very own famalies.
Like I said 18 is legal adult in every state that I know of and even though your parents are there, def does not mean you can't take the proper action for your own well being!
Good Luck -let us know!
