I'm ready to run away.
The past couple of years I have been dealing with anxiety and depression. In my freshman year of high school, my parents put immense pressure on me to
do excellent. I was going to an incredibly advanced school, and my anxiety and depression made me feel as though I was fading away. I didn't get enough
sleep, got poor grades, and had trouble focusing in school and away from school. Although I seemed happy to my friends and family, I was going through
emotional pain. My parents wanted an explanation for my grades and poor behavior, but it was too difficult to explain to them what I was dealing with.
Eventually I did, and told them that I wanted to go to a Psychologist. My Psychologist diagnosed me with generalized anxiety disorder.
My mother was somewhat supportive of me, but my father thought that I just wanted attention. Since then, I've had multiple Psychologist appointments,
transferred to a new school, and received a special plan that does help me with some of the previous problems I had. I thought that transferring to a
new, easier school would help me immensely.
I was wrong.
My relationship with my parents has gotten worse since the beginning of this year. I haven't had a Psychologist appointment in a few months.
My parents have lost all trust in me, and I've even been told that I have caused hell for our family. Focusing at school is impossible, as I constantly
miss important points in lectures, forget assignments, and can't work when there is noise. The "special plan" that I have with my school has sort of
helped, but I still have trouble. Focusing at home is even worse, and I often don't start my homework until very late. I feel like I have lost all
control of my thoughts, actions, and have caused my parents pain. My parents told me that if I don't start getting better grades and begin homework
earlier they are going to pull me out of school. I feel like I have ADHD and other (more complex) anxiety disorders
My mental problems have ruined my life, and spun me out of control. I've thought about committing suicide, but I would rather run away.
I do not know what to do.
I feel like an idiot who is going insane, but I don't know how to explain my issues to my parents with detail. My parents will blame me for my problems,
and all I want to do is run away and start a new life.
