Today, I learned that my anxious and obsessive mother is going to drive three hours every weekend to attend a Johns Hopkins medical course on stress reduction. Why is this bad? I just left home for college and have enjoyed my last two weeks of freedom without her around. I attend Johns Hopkins. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found my mother wandering the halls of my fraternity unescorted and asked why she was here, she told me she was concerned when I didn't pick up my phone for two days. She then informed me that she had also moved to the same city I live in. My mother moved over 600 miles to stalk me. FML
Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML
Today, I told my mom about the severe phobia I've developed towards driving. She was very supportive and even made me an appointment to see a psychologist. His office is two hours away. I have to drive to see my doctor about my fear of driving. FML
Today, my moms are driving me mad. My biological mom, a therapist, keeps telling me I need to try new things because life is short. My non-biological mom, a doctor, keeps telling me everything new I want to try has health risks that will shorten my life even further. FML
Today, I’m an adult and my mother lives with me, not me with her. She found out I was going to be gone for 9 days on vacation and that she couldn’t come, so she had a “mental break down” and checked herself into a psych ward. Last year, she did the same thing when I graduated college and celebrated it. FML
Today, I got offered a ride to go home for the weekend. I go to college six hours away from home and haven't seen my family for almost two months. When I called my mom with the good news, she told me not to come. FML
Today, my mom came home and told me she was going back to college. She's going to the community college that a lot of the graduates from my school go to. She has biology with my ex. They're lab partners and have to do take home labs together. FML
Today, my anxious, obsessive, overbearing mother called me four times. That's significantly less than usual. When I complained to my dad, he said, "She just worries about you because she loves you." I don't feel loved, I feel smothered. FML
Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, I got a lecture from my mother about how bad my stress has been, how I have to treat myself better and do something with my life. She still doesn't realize that most of the cause of my stress has been from her berating me about how stressed out I am. FML

Wow...I'm a college student, and it would drive me INSANE to have my mother around that much. FYL.

aww poor thing, your only going to arguably the most prestigious medical school's in the world. i would go there even if that meant having my mom as my roommate.

not being mean, but thats sort of selfish of you. thats probably the only way your mother can go to that course. if i were you, id be happy for my mom. dude, i know it sucks but you dont have to be with her all the time.

If it makes you feel any better, my mom was so anxious and obsessive that she moved with me to college. I'm a senior now, and I have a 10 PM bedtime and the only way I can eat anything "not healthy" (which includes stuff from sweets to beef) is behind her back. I have to call her when I get to campus, when I eat lunch and before I leave campus to come back home. Whenever I make a hint about living on my own next year for grad school, I pay dearly for it. So I definitely sympathize, but remember, it could be worse....

It says the OP just left 2 weeks ago to college. He or she is probably not in medical school.

Of course he's gonna stay at JH, its the most prestigious and best med school in America if not the world. You go to JH on your med resume, you got a job anywhere, no questions asked and 6 figures in your salary.
