I've been wanting to get a therapist for a long time now. To talk things out with an actual adult, to be listened to without a barrier of me being a minor. A lot of the time when I've tried this with an adult, they were either taking me as a child blabbering and over-exaggerating, or they were a teacher, which I wouldn't want to unpack on a person who literally didn't sign up for it. But it has come with a lot of issues I can't seem to overcome. For one, my parents can't know, and being a minor, this makes the whole thing even further complicated. If they were to find out everything I haven't told them, I already know they'd freak out and alienate me, even if subconsciously. Two, I've talked to them about maybe getting a neurodivergence test, just in case, multiple times. They never actually took any steps in getting me a psychologist to talk to, only telling me they will and not continuing from there. So, if anyone has any advice, I'd be more than happy to hear it.
