So my mum suffers from anxiety and depression and has been on and off since her early teen years (she's 38 now). Right now she's depressed and has been for a few years. Ever since I told her about my depression and she found out about my 'eating disorder' I feel like she's been really disappointed with me. She's been saying things like "I think all of this is really childish and stupid, why did you turn into this person?" and when I respond "I didn't choose this" she just says something like "yeah, sure". I know this isn't that much of an issue really, you probably think this is nothing but it actually causes me pain. Before I told her I imagined her being supportive and kind and help me get thru this but she's honestly just making it all worse. Considering her experience with depression I thought she would understand but she seems to think I'm choosing this. She has also blamed my ldr boyfriend and saying I should break out with him and stuff just because according to her he's "making me sad". If she really loves me, she should be incredibly grateful to him because without that boy I would probably be dead by now.
