Question

When I was in the ninth grade, my parents started fighting. I could hear them   36  at each other at night. It always seemed like they were fighting about me. I started to   37  and couldn’t fall asleep. Some nights I didn’t feel like I   38  at all. My grades really started to   39  too. It was hard to pay attention during class because I felt so   40  all the time.

My mom had to take me to see a therapist(治疗专家). On the way, I   41  to worry even more. What would my friends   42  me if they knew I was going to see a therapist? What if the therapist couldn’t   43   me?

It was not that   44 . My therapist asked me a lot of questions and then we talked about how my life might   45  if I was able to get more sleep.   46  I understood how the future could be better, I felt really   47  to try new things. At the end of the session, I was sent home with a piece of paper called a sleep diary. When I woke up each morning, I had to answer all these questions about my sleep.

  48 , she gave me homework related to my sleep. I wasn’t   49  to text or be on my computer after 8 pm. If I couldn’t fall asleep after about ten minutes, she wanted me to get up and do something in another room that would help me to   50  and feel sleepy.

During the therapy sessions, she was a cheerleader for my life and kept   51  out all the things I was doing right. With her help, it was so much easier to notice the   52  things that were happening all around me.

After about two months of seeing my therapist, I was sleeping at least eight hours a night, sometimes even nine! I felt happier. I could   53 . My grades got better. Basically, I felt like myself! It was so much better to admit that something was   54  and to do something to fix it   55  just watch my whole life get worse and worse.
