Narcissistic mom strikes again
Today, my mother told me that I "should have never had children" after I sided with my son when he yelled at her for talking too loudly. I have hyperacusis, and my son has sensory deprivation disorder. My mom knows this, and blames it on her friends who are hard of hearing. Nothing is ever her fault. FML

Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML

Leave me alone
Today, I got yelled at for having a set of headphones around my neck at all times, because it "makes me seem disinterested." Two things: 1. I have established myself as a very good listener among my peers; 2. I'm autistic, so I need the headphones readily available at all times to cope with loud environments. FML

Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML

Today, going to my psychiatrist's appointment for my PTSD and depression, my mother yelled about how useless I am and how I torture her existence with my "abnormalities." She told the doctor how much I've improved and become such a delight at home for her and our family. FML

Delusions
Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents I think I'm suffering from schizophrenia. They refused to discuss it after telling me, "It's all in my head." FML

Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML

Today, my shrink diagnosed me as severely depressive, due to a lot of stress and yells at home. After the session, my parents argued about whose fault it was and then went on to yell at me for being depressive and wasting their money. FML

Time to move
Today, as every morning since I started working from home, my mother interrupts me with her complaints about family members and old history. I'm not qualified to be a family therapist, and I need this job to pay my bills. She doesn't take the hint with my headphones on, but heaven help me if I interrupt her TV show later. FML

Today, I overheard my mom talking about how she would love me if only I didn’t have ADHD. FML

Show her to a doctor, it sounds like she has a case of being an idiot.

Listening to Puddle of Mudd's "Psycho"? "Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah" --Are those headphones used to drown out the voices in your head?! Just hope you don't go "Primal Fear" on mom or are you more of an "Identity" type? :P

What an ass. I hope you manage to find the right meds.

Just don't let her ignorance interfere with you keeping yourself healthy, OP.

She should know that this isn't the same. Didn't she ever hear voices from her music? I want my MTV...

I love it when people dismiss actual things with silly and arbitrary reasons. At the same time, they freak out and lose sleep about insignificant things.

I hear these voices in my head, telling me things would be better when I'm dead, but I don't listen. I tell them quit your bitchin, cuz life isn't as bad as it seems.

Get an axe. put on gloves and smash some piece of furniture while she is away. leave axe at scene, wrapped in earphones' cable. claim you were asleep at the time.

but...why punish the innocent furniture? They didn't do anything wrong.

my mother did this when I was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, said it was all a bunch of bull. I think some parents say things like that though because they don't want to admit there's something wrong with their baby, something they can't fix. Many people live life in denial, maybe that's her issue to. On the flip side some parents/people are just ******* stupid.

It's funny how parents seems to think they're more qualified than a doctor when it comes to things like these.
