I've had problems with depression and anxiety since my teens. I've been medicated for all of my adult life, and even though I've had some really horrible episodes in my life, I had my family to help me through them.

For the last year I've had pretty much no success with treating my symptoms. I've had to sell my car, and now I've lost my job. My family are supporting me financially, but I've just had the most unpleasant experience of my entire life.

My mother called me over this morning, and as I went up the stairs I could hear she was on the phone. Private phone-calls are private, but what I heard hit me like a sledgehammer. She said she doesn't want to be around me anymore.

She saw me standing there, and proceeded to end the call and sob her heart out about how she can't deal with me anymore. She even said she was considering sending me outside the UK to an island where my fathers business is based, so I could "stand on my own two feet".

I've only ever done this for her. She is the only reason I've carried on this far. And now she doesn't seem to want to talk to me anymore. She said that when I was born, she knew I'd break her heart.

What do I do? Pretend that things are getting better and force happiness? I don't care about me, but I'd do anything in the whole world so that she doesn't cry about me again.

I don't have any friends, and I've spent most of the day mindlessly performing tasks. I just feel completely blown away. After a year of intense misery, this is just about finishing me off.

What do I do?
