Well Im going to go the other way to the rest of the posters, as usual. How old are you? Does your mum perhaps know you best and able to see what is going on for what it really is? Sometimes I think one thing is going on and I talk to my partner who sees it a different way - some of the time he is right! From your posts on here you sound really quite young, and at this age you do have many choices to make which can get overwhelming and cause you to cope in unhealthy ways. Its a great time to learn good healthy coping strategies that can help you for life. Its your choice to choose the healthier options. Perhaps this is what your Mum is getting at.
