In response to message posted by maber:

maber, i understand where you are coming from with the situation with your parents. I have recently brought my concerns to my mom whos comment was that "you could look up any illness and find symptoms you can relate yourself to". She doesn't seem to want to belive me. I have had difficulties with symmetry in the past, where like you said if I touched something on one side I had to touch the other. I am the same age as you so I know that school is stressing enough without having this to deal with on top of everything. I don't think running away is the answer though. Maybe your family just needs some time. Like someone else on here said, maybe getting them pamphlets and other information for them to read would help them understand and belive you. I believe we all need our families. They may not believe you now but think how much better it will be when they do and they are there to support you through all of this.
