Homeschooled

[FONT=""][COLOR=""][SIZE=""]Hi I’m a 16 yo girl and ive been homeschooled for 3 years because I was being bullied for being ugly and fat. I have nobody to talk to, I have no friends, every time I try to talk about it with my family they don’t care or make fun of me to the rest of my family, I’m not allowed to leave the house by myself, we rarely go leave the house, people online ghost me, there’s no local events around me and I doubt my mom would let me go anyways, hotlines/warmlines just ask me the same questions and just tell me to text another hotline, I have no money for therapy and my mom probably wouldn’t let me, when I’m around other kids my age I get scared that they’re just gonna bully me, I try doing hobbies or whatever but it’s not fun to do anymore. I told my problem to EcoGPT and basically it told me I couldn’t be helped.
So please if someone can help me on what to do I’ve been stuck like this for a while I don’t know what to do at this point.[/size][/color][/font]

First of all, you should never be consulting with ChatGPT as if it's a clinician or a mental health professional. It's harmful not only to you, but the more you use it the more it harms the environment. If your mother won't let you see a therapist in person, there are free therapists online that are actually human and not LLM or GPTs.


Second, I'm sorry you're going through such a difficult time right now. It must really suck to not have any friends and not be allowed out so you can make friends. Is there a reason your mother is so strict? Could you try sitting down with her and having a chat, not necessarily about your mental health but about wanting to get out and make new friends?


Even going to social gatherings would be good. You might make friends at these events or you might not; but at least it gets you out of the house and gives you an experience you can look back upon.


Again, please reach out to a therapist. Text 9-8-8 or look for resources in your area. PsychologyToday is another good place to look, although I haven't had the best luck with them but that's only because I live in an area that is seriously lacking in mental health professionals.
