I am a 23 year old female that is having terrible mood swings. I'll be happy and then I'll be angry. Every time I talk to my mom we end up bickering. This has been happening quite often and it makes me so upset. I think we're just having a hard time understanding each other because I have anxiety and depression and she doesn't. I come to her when I need to get anger out, but it always turns out me hating myself and thinking my anxiety is more mentally ill. I feel like a monster sometimes. I never hurt my mom, I just bicker with her. I just don't want her to think I'm a burden or so difficult she doesn't want me around her. And honestly, I don't want to be around her so I don't bicker with her or make her feel sad.
I have started this new medication and ever since then I have been acting up. I am going to call my therapist tomorrow and set up a meeting. I'm starting to think I should see someone weekly. I hate spending my parents money though.
Does anyone have advice on how my mom and I can be better to each other? I know she loves me and I love her and that will never stop.

People judge me for who I was over 2 years ago, as if I haven't changed at all. I did dumb things in the past and things I really wish I hadn't. I was aggressiv...
It's probably the medication then. Perhaps you should stop it if you haven't been on it long but not without talking to your Dr though. Your mom should be more understanding but unfortunately not every parent is because they don't understand what your feeling. I have anxiety depression as well and it's like sparks flying trying to talk to family at times but that's just me. The other I can just recommend you try is to just if possible try to sit down and have a calm toned conversation with her and go from there. It's not always possible believe me I know the other person has to willing to be chill also. Gradually casually build up and lead up to what you want to discuss. I wouldn't be afraid of burdening your mom. you're supposed to support eachother through thick and thin but not everyone thinks like that I suppose. Hope it gets better for you. Take care <3
