before starting my rant, I will inform you that I have been diagnosed with depression. It's the last quarter of the school year and I've slacked a little on my work. My mom's been b*tching at me about it all week making me push a bunch of other work before doing my term paper worth more than half my grade for English. The more she tells me to do more and more work, the more depressed I get. And now that shes good and pissed off, she's complained about everything that I haven't done right. The more I hear ll the same crap, the more I feel like she has no faith in me. I'm starting to feel so worthless. Now I'm so unmotivated to do anything. I'm really afraid of what will happen to me if I keep going like this. I'm not saying that I'm suicidal or anything like that, but I'm afraid of feeling that. I really want some help.
Does she know you're in depression? Speak to your mom. Tell her what she is doing is making you feel depressed. You're basically in the same situation I am in. However, even if I were to try and speak to my mom, telling her how I feel, etc., she wouldn't listen to me. She'd only bring me down even lower than I am already and would shoot down everything I say. But I also can't tell her because my family doesn't know I am in depression. I really hope you're mom's not the same way my mom is. I understand how this all feels, but you really should try talking to her. Maybe by speaking with her about the way she's bringing you down may help settle everything. Is it only you and your mom, or is your dad there too?
I know If I tryed to talk to her about it she'd make me go to therapy again. that messed with me enough last time. As fo my dad, I haven't spoken to him in about 10 years, that's a whole nother problem though >_> but thanx for the advice, and I hope things get better for you too.
First off, sorry to hear this. Now to help you a little bit. Probably you know this already but your mom is b*tching at you because she wants you to be succesful in life (by having good grades and such). The problem is that her nagging is causing you to feel even worse, kinda a 'cirkel movement' that you two are making (to explain that 'circle movement'): you don't work enough -> mom starts nagging -> you don't react good to the nagging and work even less cause you don't feel good etc. There's no ending in this situation (like it is now). Someone (in this case you) has to interrupt this circle movement by (like the person above me already said) talking to your mom and say that the therapy doesn't help either. I'm sure she'll try to help you in another way. As for the work, may I ask the reason why you're slacking on your work (were you already depressed before that?)
