Help...depression and family
Should i care so much about what my mom thinks of me in a sense?
I tell her everything but some of the things she says really upsets me....
Like i told her the other day that i self harmed again and she asked why because its a silly thing to do....
Ive always worried so much about what she thinks of me but she doesnt understand what i am going through. Ive tried to explain it to her but unless youve experienced it yourself, youll never truly understand.
She is so dismissive of my depression and bulimia and thinks its all "silly" and stuff like that and it really upsets me...but i feel like maybe it shouldn't???

Should i care so much about what my mom thinks of me in a sense?=>sure,if she is your mom and she love you.
I tell her everything but some of the things she says really upsets me.... => still she is your mom, does she mean to hurt you? Think, ofc not if she is your mom that love her kids, she love you, you are just too sensitive and the fact that actually get upset was because you are not prepare to get the answer and wishing the answer to be like what you think of.
Like i told her the other day that i self harmed again and she asked why because its a silly thing to do....=> she is not know what to do anymore, don't you know she is care about you, if not, she just will let you do it or even care about you.
Ive always worried so much about what she thinks of me but she doesnt understand what i am going through. Ive tried to explain it to her but unless youve experienced it yourself, youll never truly understand.=> did you know what your mom have experience so far and still have to deal with you? can she not just leave you alone and then go enjoy her life? you expect people to understand you while you not put you in your mom positions place, why don't you both spent some times and ask each other what is the problems you both have and tried to each other better by next time putting yourself like in each other positions before do somethings?
She is so dismissive of my depression and bulimia and thinks its all "silly" and stuff like that and it really upsets me...but i feel like maybe it shouldn't???=>if I said yes, you might get upset, so why don't you tried my advice to spent sometimes and ask her what is the problem to be mother? and then told her what is the problem to be kids in this generations.. told her to put her in your shoes, and then told her that you will do the same.. if you yet understand, why not switch the job, I mean your mom, being you for a while and you being your mom, taken care of you mom duty and your mom taken care your duty? Seem fair right?
