Hello! I just wanted to give you a warm hug from afar.
I'm really happy to see that you're asking for help. I hope that what I'm saying can give you some support and help. From what you've told me, it seems like you really want your parents to understand you, accept you, and support you.
I'm sure your psychiatrist has told you that you can't cope with normal school life because major anxiety/seventeen-year-old-girl-with-severe-depression-parents-unilaterally-discontinued-my-medication-how-to-cope-10333.html" target="_blank">depression makes it really hard to interact with other people. What do you think?
It can be really tough when your parents are being coercive, incomprehensible, and non-accepting. In these moments, it's so important to tell them your true feelings and needs. They genuinely want you to get rid of the distress of depression and anxiety as soon as possible. However, instead of relieving your symptoms, they may worsen your depression and anxiety.
It's totally normal for kids like you to feel this way. It's a sign that there's something going on in your family that's causing you distress. It's like your family is a bit dysfunctional, and that's affecting you. It's not your fault! Your depression and anxiety are caused by the family's poor interaction and communication patterns. This is something you can't control, but you can take steps to get the support and help you need. Your parents need to change their patterns of getting along and interacting with each other. This will help you feel more supported and loved.
I can see that your parents have a lot of issues with you taking a break from school and staying at home. But, you know, it's not really about you. They're just projecting their own dissatisfaction, intolerance, and inability to change onto you. As a child, in the face of their disdain, harshness, and nagging, all you can do is speak sincerely and courageously about your true inner feelings and needs.
From what you've told me, it seems like your anxiety and depression are functional. It's so important to be aware of what needs you're meeting when you feel troubled by anxiety and depression. Have you thought about whether there are other ways you could respond to and satisfy these needs?

I understand how deeply challenging and painful this situation is for you. It's important to communicate openly with your parents about the extent of your feelings and struggles. They may not fully grasp the impact of depression on your daily life and school experience. Consider seeking help from a mental health professional who can provide guidance tailored to your needs.
It sounds like you're caught between conflicting expectations and your own wellbeing. Sometimes, what our parents want for us comes from a place of love but might not align with what we need most at the moment. Have you thought about expressing your feelings in writing? A letter or journal entry could help articulate your thoughts to your parents without the pressure of a facetoface conversation.
Feeling invalidated by teachers and misunderstood by those around you must be incredibly hard. It's crucial that you find a support system that truly understands and respects your experiences. Maybe reaching out to a trusted friend, counselor, or joining a support group could offer some relief and understanding during this tough time.
The pressure from your parents and the environment at school seems unbearable right now. It's okay to prioritize your mental health over attending school. Perhaps discussing with your parents the possibility of taking a temporary leave of absence, focusing on treatment and recovery, could be beneficial. This way, you can return to education when you feel more equipped to handle it.
