Racer,

Thanks for your story. I'm sorry it was so hard for you. You said that you didn't know how to ask for help. Did you know that you *needed* help? The counselors you saw - they were outside of school? What prompted your parent to take you to a counselor? Did you want to go?

When my daughter's doctor talked about depression a couple of years ago she was SOOOOO adamant about NO meds and NO therapy. She was in SUCH denial - she was *NOT* depressed (even though her own report nailed most of the depression symptoms). I would like to see her in therapy - I think there are enough things in her life (that I *know* of) to warrant it - the throwing up, tardiness, separation of parents, mother with depression, plus she's a teenager... Her dad is not a big therapy fan (he blames my therapist for my leaving him). Her brother was in therapy for 6 months or so to work on bedwetting (he finally stopped around age 16. She is starting to have occasional nights when she doesn't wet - but the practicalities of bedwetting is easier with her, it isn't a big deal. Obviously we have some bedwetting genes in the family...) - that was OK until the therapist started to talk about separation stuff, and then my son wanted no part of it.

I don't know how to get her into therapy. I'd love some ideas on this.

Thank you for your concern.
