I Feel Like I Failed My Parents Over the SAT

The first time I took the SAT I got a 1330. I got yelled at for about 3 hours by my parents(the goal is a 1560+), and my relationship with them became pretty strained for a while after. And this time I got a 1380. I have yet to tell them my score, and they've been asking me if they have come out. I am not ready to go through this again, so I have told them they haven't come out yet. But I am telling them this weekend. However, I just don't want to go through their lectures and have such a strained relationship with them. I'm scared it will be worse this time because time is running low, and they believe I have studied a lot and I had minimal improvement.
If I'm being honest I didn't really study both times, and though I have no excuses I always hit really bad depressive episodes, or bad anxiety attacks and ended up pushing back studying. Of course, it was really my fault so I should take ownership for it, but I'm still really anxious and scared to tell them. The problem is, I can't really tell them I didn't study, and I know they would not understand my mental health issues either. Although I am diagnosed, they have yet to even acknowledge it. Maybe it has to do with East Asian Culture, and not really understanding mental health, but I already know I cannot explain to them my struggles with SAT. I just don't know what to do...
I'm disappointed with myself, and I am scared for my own future and I just don't need screaming parents, or parents that will discipline me. I just can't handle it. I really don't know what to do, or what to even tell them, or how to go about telling them...

Essay Confusion

I'm so confused about the essay writing process for College admissions.
Like what are supplementals, and I've heard that I need a main essay and for each college there are prompts and essays I have to answer.
I just don't understand how any of the essay writing process, I'm not sure how many I'm supposed to write, how I know which ones I'm supposed to write, and what I'm supposed to do.

Out of time, please help

So, I've taken the SAT twice now, once in December and once in April for the school-paid one. I got a 1330(English: 660 Math: 670) my first time, and a 1380(English: 700 Math: 680) my second time. Albeit, I barely studied for all both exams.
I'm really scared. I'm going to be a senior in a couple of months for the 2026-2027 school year. And I want to Ed as well. And the schools that my parents and I want are schools that want a 1540 or above for the SAT. And I don't have much time left.
My GPA, ec's, and other grade related things are really good. But the only thing that I've done so bad on is my SAT. I'm so scared to even tell my parents how badly I did this time, but I'm scared about how little time I have left. The summer SAT's are my last chance and I don't even know how to study for the SAT.
And of course this is not an excuse but a pattern I've noticed is I procrastinate so much, and my anxiety starts to act up when I just think of the SAT and it eventually gets me to just no do anything for the SAT. I know it's so stupid, but I'm scared that will happen again and my dream of getting into the college I want will jsut leave me. I know I might just sound whiny, but does anyone have any advice? Thank you!
