Sounds like there are a lot of stressful things unfolding in your life right now. I see you mentioned that this has been going on for about a week. What are some changes that occurred before you started waking up late? I’m hearing that you felt lonely when your mom said goodnight in a hurtful tone. Think back to the time before your mom was mad at you and see if you can point out things that were different compared to now. What are some things that you could do to get back to that place? When did you begin to notice your grades decreasing and what do those grades mean for you? Similar to what you are experiencing with your mom, what are some things that you did before your grades decreased?

I understand how you must be feeling right now. Depression is something that is difficult to experience. I understand that you may also be struggling in school and that this may have caused some tension between you and your mom. You know your situation best, but a good place to start may be to identify the reasons behind some of the things you are experiencing. For your struggles in school, are you having difficulties understanding material? If this is part of the issue, are there school resources such as after-school tutoring that you can access? If you think depression has more of a factor in your school performance, have you discussed how you are feeling with your parents so that they may have some insight into how you are feeling. If it is possible, it may be helpful to reach out to them for support.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
