How Do I Get My Mom to Understand That My Insomnia Is a Serious Problem?
Question by Lani: How do I get my mom to understand that my insomnia is a serious problem?
I have really bad insomnia. It comes with depression and anxiety and all the other blessings bestowed upon me. I told my mom about my insomnia and she just tells me I should t watch so much tv/ play on my phone/ read so many books/ whatever she saw me doing that day. She doesn’t seem to think that it’s a problem. I’ve been up for 25 hrs now and I Can. Not. Sleep. I cleaned the entire kitchen to pass the time, so maybe she’ll be in a good mood so I can talk about it? Or what if she thinks “hmm if she cleans when she can’t sleep maybe I shouldn’t get her help”? Idk I may be paranoid. What do I do to convince her my insomnia is a serious problem?

Wait until you completely bomb your next school assessment and then make sure she pays attention, or take a bet, go to the doctor and if it’s a problem then you win, if its not then you have to tidy up for a week, something like that, or just have a sit down and tell her that you are really concerned.
