How to ask my mom to take me to doctor for social anxiety.?

So I'm 16 years old.

I feel trapped in my body.

I've been in therapy but I don't feel like it's worked. I honestly think my mom thinks I'm just shy now and it'll be over with.

But it's so different from being shy. I want help. I feel like it's gotten so worse over the years. I just don't want to end up not leaving my house when I grow up.

So the thing is. My brother,sister and mom all take medicine for anxiety but not social anxiety. Like I'm scared that my mom will think I'm just trying to get pill or something. I dunno this ******* social anxiety makes me think completely different then normal people.

How do I ask her.

    Is there anyone else with whom you would feel more comfortable discussing your problem - someone who could then talk to your mother for you? For example: another relative, a school counselor, a friend of the family, etc.

    If your mother suffers from an Anxiety disorder she should understand. I would suggest simply sitting down with her and seriously discussing your concerns. Even if she disagrees with you point out that you would feel better if you could speak with someone to rule it out. Good luck and I hope things get better.
