Wow, mr misunderstood, your mom sounds like an overbearing control freak! I would distance myself from her, and seek treatment regardless of her opinions! Good luck.

It does help And pawn78, believe me. You have no idea how much I want to ahaha. It only gets worse since my doctor is basically a $230 puppet who spouts things she likes to hear and as soon as that 30 minutes is up, it's "Do you have the check?" I get it. He needs to make a living. But he's on thin ice as it is. The first REAL therapist I saw let me come in for an emergency session AND stayed an extra 45 minutes just to help sort it out. It was a family argument. But this man just sits there and goes "Bud" "Dude" "Man" "You don't need anything! You're fine!" And then he'll go "And I think your mother would agree." To which she'll say, "It's true. I haven't noticed anything wrong with you." Then I just sit there because I'm too shy to speak up and confront him on it. The day before, I'll get psyched up, I'll tell myself that I'm gonna demand answers, and then the appointment comes and I just sit there like a bump on a log while they tell me I don't need anything to help, and I scream internally. I love my mother most of the time, but I seriously hate them both with a passion when it comes to the medicine department. She'll justify that she "Didn't need medications for her car accident" so why should I? Even though she takes Coreg for blood pressure and smokes pot to relax. But her defense is that pot is "all-natural" and "going to be legalized soon." Ughhh. Parents.
