I'm 24 years old, I live with my parents and am in a Cosmetology school. My mother has been on me about not spending enough time with her because I'm so busy with school, and I feel like I am taking everything to the extreme, but I don't have enough strength in me to deal with it any other way. She yells at me for not cleaning my dishes for eating which is the only time she claims to see me anymore. So I stopped eating, I haven't eaten much all week the thought of eating makes me cringe, I feel weaker every day, I am shaking like crazy all the time. We got into an argument yesterday about pointless things, I was about to eat something for the first time in a few days and she already jumps on me about not doing my dishes, so i put the food away clean my bowl and go upstairs. She sent me messages on skype about everything im diong wrong in our relationship...when we stop the conversation I took a CD player case and beat my arm with it till it was red and burning. Then I took a bobby pin pulled off the rubber protector and scratched it into my arm. I've been hiding them all day, I feel guilty when I look at them. But I also feel like, I hurt myself more than my mom did, so that I win. If I can make my body feel worse physically than she makes me feel emotionally, I beat her. But the problem is ME, she isn't a terrible mother, I don't know why I'm reacting like this..... I haven't done this in 7 years..I thought I was over it.
