WAY Too Much Stress

I'm having problems at home. I'm becoming more irritable and I argue with may parents and they threaten to ground me. My stress levels are off the charts and I'm so irritable, I can't sleep properly. What should I do?

 

What is causing you to argue with your parents? Is there some specifici issue that is causing problems there or just general arguing?

You wont be able to sleep properly if you are stressing yourself out and making yourself irritable, (this then turns into a nasty cycle).

I think it might be worth sitting down with your parents and talking through the issue with them, you might be able to work some stuff out. They can't just ban you for no reason. ​

 

I really don't know. I just feel so depressed these days.

 

You have a brother here don't you?

Have you tried talking to him? Sometimes it can help to talk things over in real life too away from online.

Do you mind if I ask how things are at school?​

 

My brother is a bit busy these days because of SATs. My school life is ok pretty much.

 

Ok so it is unlikely that school is causing problems at home. Hun when you start feeling down, what is it that first comes into your head?​

 

I dunno. Look for my stuffed turtle doll XD Makes me feel happy.
