Monica - See your school councilor. Type up what you want to say if you need to. You certainly articulate well on paper.
Again..I am not qualified to offer real advice..but what IF there was a chemical imbalance or something causing some of your issues? What IF a psychologist could help you feel "more normal"? Would you talk to you councilor and seek help?
Sometimes parents can be really afraid of "psychologists" messing up their children and will avoid getting any help even when it really is needed. My wife wanted to see a psychologist specifically hoping to put my son on meds. She thought he was ADD..on the other hand I thought he was a normal 9 year old boy and was deathly afraid of any meds being put into my sons body affecting his brain, etc. I still stand by that decision. He is 13 now and, outside of being too caught up in video games and friends, he is a pretty good kid doing okay.
But you are much older. You should take the initiative to do what is right for you. If you speak to a councilor you may find help that is low to no cost..but you wont know without asking.
That's what the councilor is there for. Just start by saying.."I need help" That will get their attention. Good luck Monica.
