Good job, Morgan!!! You made a very good decision to talk to your school psychologist. That shows a lot of maturity and self-care on your part.

Elysium is right about the Motrin. Not good for your kidneys or liver. And pills of any kind are never a good answer unless they are prescribed by a doctor for a specific condition and taken exactly like they are prescribed. Over the counter stuff can be dangerous!

I remember really, really bad times with my mom. We didn't have school psychologists then.

I know you are trying so hard to communicate with your mom and she just doesn't understand everything you are going through. What would really help would be if you and your mom could learn a different way to communicate or different words to use. The school psychologist might be able to help with that.

One thing that helped my son and I was that whenever I asked him what he wanted at the grocery store, he told me things like cheese bites, and frozen individual cheese pizzas, stuff like that because he is vegetarian. He also would have me buy eggs and hard boil them and have them cold in the fridge so he could snack on them. Stuff with protein. Sometimes he would come up with new stuff because he hung out with kids at school who were vegetarian, too, and they would talk about new things at the grocery store that I didn't know about. So he would tell me to look for it.

I think your mom really wants to have good, healthy food for you but wants it to be something that you like, too. Good self-care also includes healthy eating.

I know you are having a really crappy time right now. I hope things get better for you, Morgan. Just remember, you are the only Morgan you have. We care about you. You are the only Morgan WE have, too!!!
