My Mom just came down and we had a "talk"
I don't know what the hell to do - she says it's not healthy to write in my journal, draw, and write music all day. - I told her I don't do it all day - just most of the day.
She says she wants me to interact with more people - But I told her that I have no friends - officially my last friend I was hanging on to let me go for no reason.
She wants me to "get out more" - but how am I suppose to do that when I feel the way I do - she says I'm being self centered and only focusing on the bad - I explained everything to her - and it went in one ear and out the other - I'm bawling and I started cutting and then realized she wasn't even worth it. - She just puts me down so much.
Any Advice would be great!

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...
Do not let your mother pull you down and take away something that makes you you. You will have to accept her criticism, it will not stop, but look into your heart and know who you really are. D x
I think that art and music are excellent ways to work out feelings. You are instinctively doing the right things. Maybe she wants you to act 'normal' so that this whole thing will be over with and go away, and her extra motherly duties will be over.
Tell her she is not up on treatments and she should read a book. Tell her she is saying all the wrong things and please to get more info before going any further. Maybe someone on this board can recommend one for relatives of rape survivors. Let her read that, or a website, and maybe get a clue.
