Today was supposed to be a good day..... but then does it ever go good. Im a high school student who tries their best to get all A's, do after school activities. But it never seems to be enough. I recently applied for an internship which I got, I'm pretty happy about that. but my mom said that she was disappointed in me for not doing more. This didn't really effect me because she usually makes sure to tell me everyday. Today I did everything that I do normally, got up, went to school, after school activities, and lastly my internship meeting. After i got out of the meeting my mom was waiting the with a look of disappointment all over her face. She started talking down to me saying how I was lazy, never did anything, and was always at home. I ignored her because it was the same thing everyday. I then had to go to a cheer banquet right after the meeting and I sat alone like I always do. And it didn't get over tell 10 pm and I wasn't able to eat dinner. On the way home my mom was giving me a list to do for when we got home. that being homework, laundry, dishes, take the garbage out, etc. And yes I know a lot of people do this everyday and its nothing. but for me I was starving because I'm always to busy to eat during the day so the only thing I'm able to eat is dinner sometimes. So as my mom was telling what to do I said "may I eat first, I'm hungry" and the next thing she said broke my heart to pieces, her words where "oh of course you do thats all you ever want to do is eat, don't you think you're fat enough" this hurt me and many levels, or one I'm not a "big girl" if anything I'm the girl who say should "eat a burger" or "wow she's doing it for attention' and I really wish people would take a second and ask how I'm doing, and really want a truthful answer. Im lost, I don't feel like I have anyone to lean on, to talk to when I'm stressed. Im lost and I don't know what to do.
Sorry if this was to long I just needed to get some stuff off of my chest.

CONFUSION
I tell my partner straight up what my problem is and what will resolve the matter, but he seems to not understand. i get frustrated because he tries to tell me...
Be honest to your mom on how she’s making you feel! I’m 20 and I have no idea what I’m doing with my life! I have a part time job and am trying to save up enough money to go to collage bc my family can’t help me with that so I get it, it’s hard and having her say things to you is really sad. Just know your beautiful the way u are and you are a adult and deserve to be treated like one! Stand up for yourself!
ReplyIt must've taken a lot to write your feelings out like this, its okay if its long <3 I cant give advice, because i dont know you personally, but i hope this helps a little as to make you feel better!
I think your mother isnt being very considerate or aware of your feelings, and, i wont sugarcoat it, but she sounds like a shitty parent. And its not like you can just be like "f u mum!" or something, cause, despite everything she says, shes still your mom. You still have that emotional connection to her and love her in a type of way. But no matter how many times or how used to it you get, it still hurts when you think about it in the lonesome of your thoughts, right? Maybe if it helps a bit, you could try and pinpoint as to why she says such things to you? Like stress or her own issues causing her to take it out on you, and let it become a habit.
But please, do remember that YOU are always enough. Everything you do is great, and the most powerful weapon you can have is the confidence behind what you do, even if its a risk, and being okay if it doesnt work out. Because hey!! Its no biggie, youll get them next time! Remember to take care of yourself, physically and mentally. Think about if you need a break, and take a breather. Pet a dog, or walk outside for a bit and catch your breath so you can take your next step forward.
Youre never alone, even when youre lost, someone will be near you. Dont throw yourself away in your head.
