"You should be doing x y and z to fix your problems. You need to meditate. You're lazy. You're stupid. You're the most disorganized person I have ever met. You're out in lala land."
And I feel as though they aren't doing this to help me but just to hurt me.
The person saying these things is my mom.
Gosh I want to cry just thinking about it.

NOT AT ALL. You are NOT overreacting.
I'm so sorry to hear your mom is saying such things to you and being so very unsupportive... You mentioned her being drunk. It does sound like off-the-wall alcoholic thinking. I can relate. My mom says pointless, unsupportive stuff too. Hope you can detach with love.
Be gentle with yourself. Don't look to her for support or advice, remember your higher power.
