anyone who has parents that believe your okay when you really aren't can relate. Sometimes i wish my mom could understand how sometimes i want to sleep because i'm exhausted but i can't fall asleep. Then i stay up until 5 in the morning. and how i just feel like crying and i don't feel like being around anyone. Because everything is just to much to handle and it's psychically exhausting.

I’m so sorry that your parents don’t understand that you’re struggling. I definitely understand because my parents are the same way. I wish I could give you advice on how to make her understand, unfortunately I’m not sure I have anything. Do you have any friends you can talk to about it? Although you can’t make your parents understand, it is helpful to have understanding from an outside source. If you don’t have people you can talk to about it, you can ALWAYS message me, I am here to listen

You are not alone. My mom tends to not understand or know my struggles. She has been the direct cause of most of them. She has made fun of my pain before. She also tends to use me as an emotional punching bag because there is no one around. My dad disowned me when I was 16 and has hated me my whole life so he never cared either. I remember when I was 10 I rolled my ankle pretty severely in the backyard. He watched me crawl through stickers and weeds because I couldn't walk I came inside covered in goat head's and was just laying on the floor. He literally never batted an eye lash. I a sorry your parents don't understand your pain either. It's really hard when you can't even go to your own parents for comfort.
