I was feeling just fine while my mom and I were driving up the mountains looking at the autumn leaves this morning, and when we drove back, I rolled my window back up and then said "Roll them up!" to her, meaning the back windows because they were pelting my ears. It always irritates me when they do that. She thought the way I said it was very demanding and rude, so she told me I can't get away with talking like that to anyone else, and not saying "please". For some reason this sent me into a storm of anger and upset feelings, and made me even MORE vicious. Maybe it had something to do with "no one will like you if you talk like that to them". Or maybe she made me feel guilty about not talking "nicely".

I had old suicidal feelings resurface that I have no friends, no one loves me and I should just kill myself now, and I've been crying. I don't know why. It's very weird. I have no job, no social outlet, I just stay in the house all day every day, but I don't know how to get a good job and find people my age.

I'm sorry your mom came down on you so hard. Sometimes the things we say just don't come out the way we mean them too. It sounds like you both triggered each other. Just try to calm down the bad feelings and let it go. That would probably be best for both of you.

Every once in a while she gets mad about my cold tone of voice because I get irritable easily, especially when I don't want to be disturbed, so this is kind of an ongoing thing... but it was really nothing. One tiny, inconsequential comment made me lose my *****... but I feel better now.

I hear you; my mom does this too. I'll say something in a slightly off tone and she'll get extremely defensive. And then even when I try to tell her I didn't mean it that way, she'll stay defensive! Plenty of fights between us have started that way. And she frequently tells me I need to say "please" even when I don't think it's really necessary.

I hate misunderstandings, it feels like my life has been full of them

I understand how you feel but at the same time it's nice to say please and thank you to people
