I try my best to stick to a regular sleeping pattern, it never works, but I always get more than 8 hours of sleep, regardless of the time I go to bed at.

Well, things are quite confusing at the moment. My T put me in a group thing with other kids my age with social anxiety. This group offers therapy with the counselors there, and plus it apparently is to help kids like me learn the proper steps to dealing with anxiety and getting us back into school.
The first time I seen my T however was with my social worker, the second was me alone. I've only seen her twice though, and if I do get into the group thing I won't be seeing her anymore.

The woman I'm seeing tells me I should actually try to understand my family, who hurts me very badly, better. She says I should realize I am a child and I shouldn't involve myself in adult matters, but the adults pull me into their problems. I should appreciate them more because "they are my family and they miss and love me". That's what a normal family would be like. My family lies and cheats, stabs you in the back and starts rumors.. Yes these 30+ year olds do this to their 15 year old relative, they always have even since I was a baby. I don't know how she can expect me to suddenly grow back into an immature, naive, little child and follow my heartless family around like they're saints, incapable of doing any harm, just because we're related.

My Dad works on how things should be, and the scare method. These things have but nothing but negative results.. How I explained it to her was we lacked good communication skills, which is extremely and very true, but it wasn't like we ever got into specifics.

No, I don't have an eating disorder. I had symptoms of it, a small brush with anorexia a few years ago, but nothing that stayed permanently. I still have a small appetite, I've lost about 20 pounds since I was 12 which, of course, isn't how growth is supposed to work. I am quite thin, still in my view not thin enough, but I already border the line of underweight and I don't want to go under and cause a big fuss if I ever go to the doctors. A vitamin deviancy is a likely cause of my issues.. maybe even the depression, but I don't know for sure.
