Depression Support Group

Huggles honey, I am here for you.

If you're trying to live your life for someone who puts you down like that, it can make it seem like it's not worth the bother. Maybe she thinks she's going to "snap you out" of your depression, but hey we both know that's way off the mark. My mother tried the same thing. I am a bit confused about your statement "I basically stole the title of mother away from her and that she tried to kidnap me at four years old but it didnt work"? Not sure what that means?

Anyway, you won't think life is worth living until you learn to live it for you. The more you come to respect and like yourself, the more you'll have to give to others without being taken by them, if you know what I mean. As long as your self esteem is such that people can say things such as your mother says to you, and you believe them, you'll feel just as you do. Nobody has the right to say what she said to you...not even your own mother.

Mother or not...she doesnt have a clue. Please dont try to judge yourself or live your life trying to please her or live up to her expectations. You are worth so much and lots of us forget that when we deal with our illnesses. Maybe spend some less time with your mom until you are a bit stronger.

Well now we know that she's not very supportive of you. Do you have an ongoing relationship with her? If so, I would keep it pretty limited because those are some ugly things that she said to you. I'm sorry she made you feel so bad.

Do not apologize for venting. I am sorry your mother said those horrible things- You do not have to put up with this horrible verbal abuse. Hugs to you-- I feel for you; I know how damaging an abusive parent can be. Just remember you are none of those bad things she's trying to make you believe. Hugs :(!!
