What's wrong with me? Do I need help, and if I do, where should I look for it?

I'm new to this website so stick with me here. For a little while, you will be my vent. I'm a freshman in high school without a phone. Yeah, it's a bit worse than it sounds. Anyway, we are a few weeks into the first trimester and I'm failing at least four of my six classes. Because I can't remember to do the assignments, I can't even remember to write them down. My mom thinks that I'm just being overdramatic. But, I'm not. There are times that I'm a bit overwhelmed and no one understands or is willing to understand I my house. My mom thinks that my generation makes up shit like "Oh, I'm sick" or "I'm depressed" so that they can get attention.

There are times where my head feels like lead and it just wants to hit the back of the chair and I just want my thoughts to just melt away. To just drift into nothingness, a place where there isn't the disruption of thought or of light. I would love to live there.

hi could you not talk to a teacher and tell them of your struggles and maybe they could help you catch up on the work that you have missed.

Do you have friends who can help or a trusted adult relative? You may be depressed as it can cause forgetfulness. Maybe the school counselor? Or maybe even a regular doctor can answer your questions and prescribe medicine if they think it is appropriate. This is a safe site I think to get your thoughts out. Good luck 🍀
