This has been going on for a long time, but I guess I’ll shorten it to get advice. For the last year, I’ve been homeschooled. During this, I’ve lost all of my friends (except three), stopped having any motivation to do anything at all. Started getting into more fights with family, and don’t do much I’m not required. The main thing that’s important for this is my insomnia. For the last few weeks, I haven’t been able to sleep at all. This is fine and all, but my parents have been getting angrier and angrier about this for that time. Each time, they give some smart answer, but I never get a chance to tell what I need too. This has gotten worst and worst, and now they want to talk too me about it tonight. I feel that I’m in the middle of a depressive episode, and I want to try and explain that, but when I do, they always get angry at me. Normally it’s some comment about how others have it worse or I just get ignored entirely, unless it benefits them. How do I explain to them that I think I’m in the middle of a depressive episode?
