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

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.

Having been dealing with mental illness since high school (almost 20 years now), I understand where you're coming from. Although in my case is was my dad, not my mom. I still struggle daily, although proper med management with a psychiatrist I trust as well as weekly therapy sessions with a psychologist has helped immensely. My father still doesn't understand, and constantly asks me why I can't just deal with it. But I'm starting to understand that his comments are coming from his own insecurities and lack of understanding. Having a proper diagnosis is the first step in regaining independence, and I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart. Good luck, the road is long and arduous, but you can, and will, persevere.

Know those feels. That sucks, OP. Hopefully she'll come around.
