How do I become more cooperative?

For context, my parents and I have has a rocky relationship as I turned I to a teen, even though I wanted to prevent going down "the trouble teen" route. I went through a lot mentally, being diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and last yerlsr, adhd. My parents don't trust me that much like they used to to take care of myself and while I get why, it frustrates me.

I feel like I'm going to get a response of rejection anytime I want to anything out of routine and my parents say my brain isn't strong enough to function reasonably even if I say I thought things through. I do break the rules like going out without telling my parents, I used to skip classes sometimes, and I'd lie about small things. I didn't do anything major like underaged sex, substance abuse, drinking, crime, or sneaking out at night and coming back late, so I though the things I did do wouldn't matter.

I also suck at school because while I do have a high iq according to my doctors, my motivation is really unstable or I just don't have the energy to do anything at all. My parents are tired of my behavior because they say they don't understand me or they think it's because of my mental issues. I graduated high school this year and my parents have 0 hope I'll get into uni. I want to go to uni but my parents thoughts are slowly becoming mine. I don't blame my parents for their disappoint. I've become impulsive, selfish, a liar, a narcissist, and an apathetic person who barely does anything.

The only reason I'm still here is because I still hace so many plans of what I want to with my life. My parents are good people though and they provide me with support like meds, psychologists, and therapists. I still keep getting worse and don't do much to get better even though they beg me to make an effort. I want to but they feel so insincere. My dad's frustrated and my mom said I made her hate mother hood. Plus they both threatened to move back to their home countries(they're divorced) since what's the point anymore of being my parent.

I want to be more cooperative with them, but I also want them to know I can think for myself outside of my issues and not everything is a result of my adhd. Ant advice?

I think is have feelings for my friend again

I met my friend a few years ago in highschool after I moved to Canada and we hit things off instantly. We became friends, then best friends, and eventually lovers. But sadly the last part didn’t last long since she admitted she still had feelings for her old crush, a guy we both new, so we decided to break things off and go back to being best friends. Plus we would both be going to other universities and we didn't want to do long distance. I did obviously still feel upset because this was also my first relationship and I really loved her, but I just kind of denied it an pushed those emotions down. Our friendship stayed strong, but is till hoped we could get back together. And sometimes she would forget we broke up and talk about going on dates with me before remembering we broke up. I forgot to ask if that meant anything. First year of university we hung out sometimes, but I was always the one initiating contact, and the following year we went out of contact. I went through a bit of internalized homophobia during that bit and I started thinking she hated me and that I was using her to feel like I had friends since I was struggling to make friends at the time. She actually missed me a lot. And the second I managed to reach her, she immediately wanted to see me in person again. And when we did, things were like we never lost contact at all. We talked about how our life was, any gossip, personal hardships, anything, nothing was too personal. But I've noticed I've been getting a little shy when talking about her. I feel like I'm admitting something personal when I speak of her to my other friends. And I always hope something romantic might happen, even though it never does. That last part is confusing though. My friend has always been really touchy with me. Constant hugs, hand holding, cuddling, caressing, leaning on me, playing with my hands, anything. And I didn't know what to feel when she did that so I let her, and now I kind of like it more than usual. She also flirts with me a lot and constantly talks about her love life around me and showers me with specific compliments. And she gets along with my brother and my dog. She's a wonderful person. And sometimes I hope one day we'll go back to when we were together. It's hard not to. I invited her to watch horror movie with me and I ended up spooning her while she caressed or held my hand and told me how comfy I was. I want to ask her out but I wonder if I'm just getting mixed signals. Any advice on how to test the waters?

Need help finding a cartoon movie

When I was younger, I watched multiple times a 2d animated cartoon movie that followed a black as its protagonist. I don't remember if there was any dialog since it focused more on animal characters. From what I remember is that the black cat had a white cat as it's love interest, rats were the villains, the black cat would get red eyes with spirals in rage and go psycho, and near the end there is a rescue scene on a train when the rats kidnap the white cat.
