I'm 17 and I've been doing horribly mentally for YEARS and I've been begging for help for years from teachers, parents, and friends and literally everyone has just blown me off. I thought reaching out for help was supposed to work. I just want to feel better. I told my mom I wanted a proper autism diagnosis and she kept telling me "schools almost over, you have good grades (which has never been true) why does it matter?" And I just don't know what to say to her. She's convinced I just don't have these problems that have been present my whole life. I had a breakdown and I started hitting myself and I wasn't able to talk and she called me insane and crazy and just yelled at me for like 30 minutes while I sat there unable to talk. She told me she's trying to get me help at the doctor's but it's been like a year of trying just to get to a primary care doctor with no luck. I feel so helpless I'm about to fail half of my classes my junior year and idk what to do. All I want is support and help so I can do better in school and just in life in general.
