Confused How to Get others to understand..

Hello everyone,

I know this has been done a couple times now. However, I find it more and more difficult to get my parents to understand what it's like. Hell, sometimes I don't even know how exactly I feel. I've tried explaining situations that make my head hurt or when they talk too fast, I've tried explaining how stressful it is for me.

Right now I'm on highschool summer break. Currently I work 3 hours a week at a loud grocery store. I'm doing an English course to catch up for the course I had to drop last year. It's one hell of a toll on me. School ended last wed, started this course thursday. 5 lessons to complete every two weeks. Minimum probably 3 hrs a day or more on lessons and I'm exhausted. Lately I've been getting complaints that I didnt think to do the dishes or that I don't do anything all day.

How can I explain it? I've given my parents the tbi guide (father didnt read it, mom read a few pages and never looked at it again), I've tried explaining the fatigue, but they do not seem to believe me because they are "more tired because they worked all day."

Anyways, long story short, Is there a good way to explain that I'm doing more than enough as it is? Or a way to get them to understand the fatigue I feel every day?

Thanks Everyone!
