I'm home from university for the summer and it was ok for the first couple of months but now my mum constantly puts me down and tells me off for not doing things her way, even when said things are not relevant to her. She's thankfully backed off about my weight (used to be paranoid about me becoming overweight/looking fat despite me never even being close to that) but still tries to control my eating to an extent, and now gets at me about housework, university work, what I do during the day, being insufficiently "ladylike" (sitting wrong, speaking wrong, eating wrong etc.)... Pretty much everything. Her main complaint seems to be that she is very busy and I am not (because I am on holiday...) and she often tells me that I'm very negative when in fact she's incredibly negative a lot of the time and I have been working hard on not being negative. She also seems incapable of asking me to do things without first guilt tripping me and after most conversations with her, however brief, I end up feeling ****** and depressed and hating myself. Everytime I call her out on her guilt trips, shaming and negativity she acts hurt and says that I am trying to guilt trip her by pointing out that she has hurt me, and then doesnt understand why my dermatillomania (skin picking) is not getting better despite knowing that stress worsens it... I can't move out yet cause I have another year at university and then i have to find a job to afford to move out, but being here is absolute hell. My brother doesnt understand why I can't just ignore her - Am I just being oversensitive? I really don't know how to cope with this, I've wanted to move out since I was 16 (I'm now 22) but it has only been possible during university termtime so far
