I used to like lying under the bed when I was younger; I've only done it once in a great while since my teens though. My ex thought it was strange to come home one day to find me lying between the mattress and foundation.
Perhaps your parents will eventually come around and realize that you can't necessarily control it. I used to get yelled at by my parents for rocking when I was younger, and my mother still will tell me that I've been deliberately rude or upsetting when I don't realize I've said something upsetting. |

Just hang in there, not much longer to put up with them. Do you have a job, or the ability to work? I would start looking now if you can.
No one should have to live with that kind of abuse. And I notice that you only mention your mother and your mother's side of the family, is it possible that the other half of the family might be a little more understanding and supportive?
A couple people on here have mentioned those weighted blankets, maybe that would be a little more... less offensive to try to your mother? I don't know, when my kid does something that seems a little odd I ask him why, at the very least.
When I was a teenager I would always feel more secure with my bedroom door closed, I wasn't all that social. Parents thought that a great solution would be to just take my door off the hinges. sigh. |

I don't know if you want to make an effort to contact them or not, but if so here is the one question I would ask: Am I any different today than I was before you know about the mattress, etc.? Because I haven't changed--all that's changed is now you know. |
Neale has a GOOD point! Frankly, you sound nice and, if I had a daughter, I'm sure I would be happy to have one like you. HECK, let your grandparents know how your friends react. YOU KNOW, they say you sometimes do stupid things, but are very smart. There are a LOT of DUMB people in the world, and I doubt there are any that always seem smart. Isn't it nice to know you aren't in the former group?
And there are some kids that would be a lot meaner than you were!
Some people just DON'T realize what they have! In you, your mother may well have gold and be upset she doesn't have platinum! |

hey blackcat
Youre not stupid, I heard loads of strange cases like that in the past, the best way to be open minded about yourself is to discuss it with a doctor, Im sure there is some treatment out there |

| Your mother and your grandparents are stupid assholes who don't deserve to have you. If they don't understand it's a sensory thing, and you don't feel like explaining to them, too bad for them. They're pieces of sh** whether they're your family or not. Don't believe a word they say. |

You don't sound stupid. Your family sounds insane.

| If my big head could get under the bed, I'd hide under there for most of the day; the monsters aren't under the bed. It's anyone with a social head that fills me with dread. |
