Upset teenager in Redding, CA in need of counseling

Being a teen is hard.

It seems like no one understands what you are going through. The pressure, the stress, the social and emotional roller coaster. It seems like you can't turn off the emotions. But it's not only the emotions, you also can’t turn off your mind. You want to feel better but nothing seems to help.

Your emotions are strong, fast, and long lasting. As a result your behaviors become impulsive. They end up hurting you or your loved ones.

Feeling Misunderstood

You feel misunderstood by family and friends, no one gets you or knows what you are going through. You feel out of place in life so you hide, isolate, disconnect.

You feel out of control in your own life. Your thoughts and emotions are on overdrive. You are still living at home with limited choices and limited control. Between your emotions and your parents, you are never actually in control. All you want is some freedom or independence.

You may not like yourself, and often compare your body, image, or emotions to peers or people on social media. You may feel unimportant, different, worthless, and hopeless.
