My psycho mom likes to spy on me and cook whenever she thinks Im watching TV just so she can spy on me and arrange what shes doing around when she thinks I will be here gets upset if I even ask her why she has to make dinner be ready by 5. Like isnt that kind of early? I go to work then so that makes me think shes just doing it so she can be cooking and in the room the whole time I am there to spy on me. Wth??

I think you are reading too much into it. lots of people have dinner at five. it is pretty much a normal time to have dinner.

I highly doubt that your mom is psycho. If she has the routine of making dinner ready by 5 every day, she pretty much has it together. She might enjoy being in the same space with you while cooking because she likes you and cares about you. If you are a teen who works, then you probably are just going through adolescent rebellion. If you are a young adult and not a teen anymore, I would see a psychiatrist and talk to him or her about what you wrote in OP.

I have to say i agree with hamster bamster and kaliope.
Nothing you discribed about your mum sounds like she is a psycho.
She probrably wants to cook while your in to make sure you eat. She probrably likes to spend time with you which is perfectly normal.

Is this a new routine?

Why do you suggest I see a psychiatrist? I just want my mom to leave me alone while Im watching TV and not spy on me.

I suggested you see a psychiatrist because the OP raised the suspicion of paranoia, which is a psychiatric concern. I suggested that in case you were a young adult. The subsequent post from you did not state your age, but made it appear that you are a teen. If you are a teen, then the thoughts and ideas you verbalize are explainable by age-appropriate adolescent rebellion. If you are past the adolescent stage, then there is a concern that your thinking might be paranoid.

Did you bring up specifically and directly that you feel uncomfortable when she looks at you? Sorry I don't really understand. Maybe she wants to watch what you're watching and just be around your presence, maybe she feels lonely but knows you don't want to talk

Seems now a day most everyone has a TV in there own room? Is she coming into your room while in the kitchen cooking? or are you a common room / living room near the kitchen , like and open floor plan? If you have a TV in your room? why not just stay in your room away from your mom cooking ?
