she is sooo frustrating to talk to..she is currently back in hospital..and my high school gradutaion is next week.
its hurts cause its like she doesnt care.. its like she likes being in hospital and being able to blame not doing things on depression..
it hurts cause she has been with this for at least 4 years and she never gets better.
even when i talk to her on the phone, its like she can never say anything good.
me: how was your day?
mum: yer
me: what did you do?
mum: nothing much
she gets on my nerves cause its like she doesnt care if she gets better..
she is wrecking our family...my dad works sooo much and i have to be the mum to my younger brother and sister..
i hate it..
why cant she just get better!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You have every right to hate the depression!
I hate it too, but please try to remember that she DOES love you.
when the beast is in control(thats what I call my depression) I say things I don't mean. I cry and can't seem to do anything right...
when I have my good days I feel aweful for things I have done and said...
I think depression is something a person has to learn how to deal with. Sadly there is no magic cure.
But the good news is There ARE good days...
Just like a person with diabeties sp? your mom will have to eat right, exercise, journal, and take her meds...
she is very lucky to have you in her life and I am sure on her good days... she knows this even though she may not say it often or ever
In the interm please know your are not alone you are a fantastic person who is making a huge positive impact on your moms life...
I will help you anytime I can... but I live with the beast... This me may not alway be present but it is always here...
I hope this help...

Try and enjoy your graduation and think of yourself and enjoy the time with your friends and the rest of your family if your mum cannot be there. Take time for yourself and do the things that make you happy.
I hope things get better for you and your family.
