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.

Hope you didn't get that self diagnosis from webMD.

OP never said it was self diagnosed. Most are willing to bet OP went to a doctor and had it confirmed. (Not that we can be absolutely sure but I have my own doubts of it being self diagnosed)

Is your mom a doctor? No. She can't "de-diagnose you!"

I was diagnosed with depression at 15 from all the stuff going on back then. My parents don't believe me. I'm 22 nearly 23 now and they still don't get that I have severe depression now. Some parents just don't believe in mental illness. Also just because OP has schizophrenia it doesn't mean OP is "crazy" there are drugs you can take to reduce the hallucinations auditory or otherwise.

Struggling with boarder line personality daily sucks, which is what I have and I know from personal experience with my father that Schizophrenia is a horrible illness if not treated, please do your family, despite what your mother says, and take care of yourself! My father is too far gone now to function, he's 47 and we're pretty sure this is his last year with us.. I hope you learn to accept help when you don't want it, or don't think it's necessary, cause believe me.. It will happen.. :( Good luck, stay strong and remember reality is better than delusions.
