She is very worried that if I share, especially the details, that it will have a greatly negative impact on my friendships and life in general. I HATE when my mom is upset about anything to do with me and I do see her side a little. Should I share my story without her blessing? How can I get past it?

I think that it would be great if you share your story. My mom was upset with me many times when I tried to be me. Pooping as another poster mentioned was even an issue. I had to ask permission to pee or to poop. I know this probably sounds ridiculous.
I am sorry that your mom is so strongly opposed to your sharing your story that she has become angry when you have suggested it. I can also see her side a little. I also hate when a close person is upset about anything to do with me. I do think that it would be to your advantage (for want of a better term) to do what makes YOU happy. You are not hurting anyone else by doing this. I also think your mom's fears are not very likely to happen. Go for your dream
