I am 17f and I am in a Canadian boarding school, I have been in mental health treatment in secret for months due to a bad depressive episode. Recently I brought up the fact I have increasingly bad hallucinations to the staff and they mentioned they need to contact my parents. Mostly because the possibility of psychosis was brought up.
The nurses will try to convince the doctor to not call, but I am still terrified, they also promised they will inform me before doing anything
My parents don’t care about mental health and after I go back for the summer my environment my turn unsafe (not physically) and I am not sure if i can make it. They will take everything away and isolate me because they blame everything on technology..
Everytime mental health gets brought up they have bad reactions and I feel like I already ruined my life, I want to go to college and everything but i feel thats not possible anymore.
What do i do?

I think it depends where home is? But hear me out, you’re 17, almost 18. Plan your way out, get a job and survive. That’s all you have to do and as you get older you will learn and grow and hopefully learn to thrive. Be sure to maintain counselling or other help methods, find a supportive circle and build your own life.
If you bring up the fact that calling your parents would create an unsafe home situation for when you returned, they have to take that seriously. Teachers and counselors are mandated reporters and must report any abuse or suspected abuse to be further investigated.
