I can’t even imagine how exhausting this must be for you. Please know that you are not crazy, and your feelings are 100% valid. Living with that kind of hot-and-cold behavior is mentally draining, and it makes total sense why you can't focus on your studies right now. Your nervous system is literally exhausted from just trying to survive the day. You are doing so much around the house and trying your best to please them, but please remember: you are not responsible for fixing their moods or reactions. You are a good daughter, no matter what they say in a moment of anger. Right now, please prioritize your peace. If possible, try to spend a few hours away from home during the day—go to a library, a quiet cafe, or a park just to give your mind a break. I’m always here to listen whenever you need to vent. Hang in there.
