Question by : I get very angry and self harm when i have to do homework, why is this?
I'm 13, I have trichotillomania (I compulsively pull my hair out), my Mum has schizophrenia and my brother has depression, and my other brother has very bad temper problems.
I'm good at school, I get good results and I'm good in class.
But when I sit down to do homework, I go into a rage and I have no idea why.

Lawrence Shapiro Ph.D. It's been happening since I was much younger. It must have started at about 6 or 7. I've given my head a lot of damage from headbutting myself, I've smashed walls, and ultimately I end up curling in a ball wanting to die. I've attempted suicide twice, not due to homework but due to stress, in everything I do.
I know I probably sound like a spoilt teen, but is this normal?
I'm doing homework now, or attempting to and just looking at it is making tears swell to my eyes, my temperature is rising, I can feel myself getting hot and if I get another detention, my dad will have a massive go at me.

Susan Bowman He's a really horrible person, he used to beat up my brothers when they were as little as 5 years old, and used to beat up my Mum, and still hits me, but I can defend myself a bit. So, I can't get "homework help". It's just so stressful, I get heartaches when I even write down homework at school. I get As and A*s a lot in classwork. But I cannot bare homework.
Is this normal?

Its just the stress. Just try to relax, and work out the problems one by one. DONT SELF HARM. I know how hard it is when youre addicted to self harm and how hard it is not to do it, but youll be soo proud of yourself when you dont do it.
