Tell them that you are serious and that they should take you more seriously. Try telling them that you need, maybe a psychologist. Or some sort.

Try to talk to them in a proper and serious manner. Avoid actions that they may think only as a sign of rebellion. Instead, have a private conversation preferably with each family members of yours. Try to tell them what you are feeling and try to be open about your problems. If they still fail to understand your situation, talk to other people instead. Voice it out to your trusted friends or find help from professionals.

Your journey of healing often begins by speaking with your doctor. By involving a healthcare professional, you can be on your path to feeling better; sometimes ignoring what your family has to say about "attention-seeking behaviour" is the best thing. Focus on healing yourself and your journey towards recovery.

ask them to talk about how you feel and what you want them to know, and how you can prove that you want to change and talk to them about it, because you love them you could even ask for help from neighbors or friends
