I'm stuck

...See more So yeah, the title. I'm stuck. I have been feeling bad and self-harming since the start of this school year. The emotional wellness test on 7cups suggests that I seek help from a professional as I have a high percentage of depression. I do want to get help, but I'm afraid my parents won't be supportive. I've told my mother once before I thought I might have depression. It really embarrassed me. She is completely against taking medication for anything because it "drives many people to suicide" or some other crap and she implies that going to a professional won't help, that money is better spent on lessons and tutoring. She knows I cut, but she thinks I stopped and she never thought of it as a problem in the first place. Sometimes I feel like the most important thing to her is my grades and that really makes me feel terrible. I don't want to go to a therapist or counselor or whatever because it would make me feel like as if there is something wrong with me, something abnormal. And I don't want to bring it up with my parents again because 1) It's humiliating and 2) they don't take it seriously and 3) because they don't take it seriously it humiliates me. The most important thing to my parent is grades. I'm completely against trying to talk to them again. The other day a close friend, who also self-harms, was found out by her mother, and her mother said something along the lines of "You can skip school or whatever... Nothing is more important" (than her wellbeing/selfharm). That made me feel really bad. I think my self harm is getting worse. The last time I started it was really hard to stop and that scared me. So yeah, I'm stuck.
