Yes I have but she either gets pissed, defensive or ignores it all together. She's very traditional and basically represses her feelings. As a child I used to get very depressed because I was bullied and I would tell her this and she would always respond by saying suck it up or what do you have to be depressed about, others in the world are way worse off than you. I would hide in my room and dream up ways of suicide. She also is not artsy in any way or shape and doesn't understand and appreciate art or music and thinks the stuff is weird.

Unfortunately I get the other end of the spectrum - "Why can't you just push harder through this?" "Everyone gets depressed" "You never finish what you start" and the big one "You never keep plans and you hurt people's feelings".
Mine are Bipolar related but no one seems to get it. Maybe because I got diagnosed late in life - they think I use it as an excuse but I've always been this way since I was 14.
Either end of the spectrum just totally sucks. I have an extreme urge to move across the country 
Have you told your mom how she makes you feel? |
