My mom is supportive in many ways. I live at a very low rent in a house she owns and she helps me keep up with housework and generally function. She even makes sure I eat meat at least once a week because I can't afford it. But there are things that I cannot talk to her about and will not talk to her about because it scares her too much and she becomes obnoxious and kinda mean.

Your mom is not being mean or obnoxious but she is trying to fix you and as much as that would be nice she can't. That's why you have to talk to the dr. as YOU, not as you listening to your mom (or anyone else who doesn't understand what you are currently going through), and you need to tell them you need to be IP no matter what family thinks. You know this illness, you know the warning signs, you have to trust yourself.

I'm sorry about the voice from the computer. That is scary and as I tell my brain frequently, so unnecessary. It's not like you don't get the point already.

I hope that you are having a better evening. Does it help to have your husband home?

She is quite amazing in every area of her and my life, including my illness, for the most part. But, she cannot handle suicidality which I appreciate because she is my mom and she rants and raves in rage when I mention the hospital.
