      Sounds like you were acting like a 5 year old…

      Or at least that’s what your mom said last night…

      And my mom wonders why I was excited and eager to leave when she kicked me out of the house.

      I remember once I had a mental breakdown and my mom told me that I am the most mentally ill person on the planet cus normal people don’t have this many mental break downs. People are fucking insane.

    4. Well, why were you acting like a 5 year old? Did you never learn how to cope with stress? Stress management is a definitive characteristic of an adult. If you can’t manage you’re, well, a 5 year old in an adult’s body.

      I get that life is tough, and you’ll find countless people can’t cope. Binge drinking is one of the more common childlike responses to stress. Everybody who binge drinks is behaving childishly. Hard stop. And there’s a million other “acting out” examples we could point to.

      Perhaps you would be wise to digest what your mother is saying rather than looking for validation of your inability to cope with stress from random online strangers.

      You are 20 years old. It’s time to stop blaming your mom for who she is and start figuring out why you allow it to affect you that way. You’ve got to figure this out or you’re going to spend the rest of your life blaming others for how you feel. It’s not easy!

      My mother stole my entire childhood so I threw a vase at her and went to live with a relative. 6 years on I regret nothing and life has only improved; gotta cut out the bad parts of your life even if they’re the biggest parts of it

      I told my mom in my early 20s I was on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown and was contemplating suicide. 

      She did a snorty laugh like I’d just told her I was planning to marry my MLP body pillow, like I’d just said some cringey dork ass thing. 

      Never again 🙂

      This seems to be leaving out some key details.

      Were you acting like a five year old? Why was she yelling at you?

    9. Yeah my dad is upset that I told my psych doctor about my childhood. His exact words were “If it didn’t bother you then why does it bother you now. You told the doctor that just to get drugs”.

      Yeah Dad sure I lied to a doctor to pay 15.00 a month to get lithium that messed up my thyroid and gave me chronic diarrhea for 13 years. I mean sure lithium and latuda are the go to drugs for raging opioid addicts across the globe.

      Yelled at? Jeez I would have taken a ass chewing 100 times over a ass beating. Gen X talking here and I dont hate my parents a bit!

      “I have no idea how to deal with your feelings so I’ll shame you into not showing them near me.”

      I didn’t know it was in so many parents’ best interest to be put in a retirement home

      I’m autistic and emotionally delayed, when my moms boyfriend was fucking yelling at me for some dumb shit and I was curled up having a panic attack, him yelling “WHAT ARE YOU 3?” definitely totally helped yeah

    14. Going no contact with my emotionally abusive, extremely draining mother was one of the best things I’ve ever done for my mental health and quality of life. Hope you can get to a place where you can do that soon!!
