I can't focus in school. I'm failing nearly every class and I feel like I'm always in a foggy state of mind. I often zone out when I try to concentrate on my schoolwork. I haven't told my parents about this because I know they would just tell me I'm being lazy and that I should try harder. They once told me they don't "believe" that mental illnesses exist. I also get extremely nervous in social situations and I'm afraid of talking to people because I feel like I'm being judged for everything. I also often get mood swings. One moment I can feel sad and tired, and then in an instant I feel very energetic and/or very angry. Also, sometimes at night I drink my parents' alcohol (without them knowing) to help me calm down because I worry a lot, especially when I try to fall asleep. I'm 14 by the way. I don't know what to do. My parents won't let me go to therapy, I've asked them before. Does anyone have advice? Is there anyway I can help myself with any of this?
