Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
My mom is concerned that I have DID or schizophrenia and is pushing me to go to therapy...thats okay...I'm fine with that.
She also wants me to break up with my boyfriend because she is worried that he may have the same thing. I'm not that worried about him, and I am happy with him, but he scares her. Every time I try to explain, she makes it seem like he is crazy. And he's not. At this point, it feels like I am being forced to choose between her, and him. I'm not going to make that decision. I also had sex with him for the first time today. So, I really don't know how to feel. This is making me to cut, because honestly this is stressing me out. I don't want to hurt either, and I'm not going to.
How can I get my mom to see that I am not leaving him, but I am willing to go to therapy, and get on meds, if needed? I can't do both. I can't leave him and do the therapy thing because, I am truly happy with him. I haven't been this happy in such a long time and I finally am and she wants me to stop seeing him. I am not okay with this...

Therapy is good, but so is being happy, if she doesn't have any proof that your boyfriend is dangerous to you or abusive then I don't see what is wrong with you staying with him. You are 20 right?
I would say ur mom is just plain worried
BUT the cutting... that is worrisome....STRESS can B just tossed of the shoulder like rain, U know it happens and there is not nothing one can do about it but just let it slide. Then again maybe ur mom sees something troubling BUT then that is A mom 4 ya which is kind of like the sun, moon stars, rainbows and damm biting flies...all of which there is nothing one can do about them but just enjoy...!
((((HUGZ))))
I'm not sure I should say much more than that without knowing more about your boyfriend, but I suspect if he "scares" your mom, there must be a reason behind it... and chances are that she is simply concerned for her daughter.
Hope it works out for you.
