From your posts, it seems like talking to a counselor or therapist of some kind is what you really need. And some help with your digestive condition would help as well.
As you may already know, seeing a psychiatrist might be a good plan after all, not to get meds, but to have him deal with your mom with his official stance. If she would take his advice, you would have referral to a psychologist who works with the psychiatrist for the talk therapy. But I realize you want to avoid dealing with her at all when she's so controlling about it all. Maybe someone at school can help and not betray your confidence.

I have been wandering about here for awhile. I am having a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy this Friday to look for issues. Hopefully I can get get it all figured out. She thinks that psychiatrist are just drug pushers. Although, let's be honest, some are. I have a friend I talk to at school, it's a mutual friendship. She helps me manage anxiety, and I help her with her panic attacks. They get so bad, but her psychologist won't do anything for her. Thanks so much for the care!
