My mother just asks me what can be done. That question is absolutely retarded and frustrating, I tried using analogies to explain to her that I can’t tell her how to help me since I DONT KNOW!
So how do I help my parents help me?

Start small?? You know that your mom asking you "what can be done" is frustrating so start by politely asking her to stop (if you haven't done so already).

So you would like your mother to check in on you sometimes then? Food for thought: What kind of a check in
might you want? Phone, in person, text, email? How often? What would you like to hear from your mom during that check in? Do you just want a "how are you?" or do you need to hear something like, "I am here for you if you need me?" Do you want her to pick you up and take you out to lunch once in a while or to a movie?
