My mom is very depressed and my life is falling apart. What do I do?
Please help me.
My mom is very depressed, and she is making me even more depressed. I am 14 years old, but I feel like a 40 year old. I hate my life so much, and sometimes I wish I can just disappear forever.
My mom is single, and my dad does not pay for child support. However, my mom has a house, a very good job, a car and basically everything else that she really needs. However, she is always really negative about her life, and always complains. She calls me selfish, and even though I do so much for her, she always seems to be unsatisfied with me and her life.
She controls everything that I do, and yet wants me to be an adult.
Her daily activities consists of sleeping, going on the internet, complaining, and sleeping some more. I've tried to talk to her so many times about my problems and the troubles that she's causing me, but she either gets really pissed off at me, and tells me how big of a disappointment I am to her. Either way, we always end up in huge fights.
She didn't always use to be like this, and I would give anything for her to be back to the ways she was. She makes my self-esteem drop so rapidly, and makes me hate my life.
I feel caged in, and I want help, but there is no other adults in my life other than my mom. I've went to seek the help from a professional psychiatrist, but since we can only meet like, once every two months, he's not exactly helping much.
The days with my mom now are full of silence and depression. I cannot communicate with my friends anymore, because I am so depressed and so much more mature than they are.
Please give me suggestions as to what I can do, because I really need help.
Because if this keeps going on like this, I might kill myself.
