I can never do anything right. I am always being yelled at for something, especially by my mom. I can't remember the last time we had a decent conversation about anything that wasn't school, work, moving out, or for something I did wrong. She never even says hi to me anymore. I try to avoid her when she is awake because she always has something mean to say, and then she complains that I never open up to her. She complains that I never go out and do anything, then complains when I go out that I'm wasting gas and money and that it's not fair for my brother when he wants to hang out with his friends (even though he always has the car). She complains that I don't hang out with my friends, and then thinks I choose losers for friends. My dad tells me she feels sad that I don't talk to her, but I am always trying to talk to her and when it's about something important she laughs at me or yells at me. She tells me to move out and then tells me she wants me to live here. My mom is more bipolar than I am and she's not even bipolar! My mom is driving me insane and there is nothing I can do about it. I want to run away but I know there is no where for me to go. I feel helpless.

Hey Doc Have you tried to schedule a time when you and your mom can sit down and talk about this specific issue? I'm guessing you might have but if not then it's worth a try or two.
This may be just the way it is and you may have to come to terms with that and hope it can get better over time.
Don't run away...try to resolve it and if you can't resolve it then try to learn to work with it
