Journal Entry
Tonight, my mother found out I was failing a class. I didn't tell her for a reason, yet she wouldn't leave me alone until I told her tonight. She focuses on that 1 bad grade rather than the 5 good grades. Isn't that strange? Why is she a pain like that? I am trying to not be my diagnosis of depression, but it's nearly impossible in this house. I try to not be so perfectionistic, yet she drills it back into me.
I feel worthless and hopeless.

I’m sorry she is so hard on you. Have you talked to her about how that hurts you? There is always the chance she doesn’t realize how her words impact you. Also, one bad grade doesn’t define you. You are worthy and valuable, no matter what grades you get.💜
@Ldn218 This is a hard situation. Do you think she is trying to be a good Mom and wants what is best for you? If you do, do you think she'd be open to talking about it? Maybe she needs to hear she is a good Mom, and maybe that is the only way she knows to help you. She might not understand that her words and actions aren't helpful. Maybe you need help and motivation in a different way for that one class, like tutoring or something? I don't know...because I'm not there....I'm just throwing out ideas.
