im doing yr 12 at school and has a part time job. my mum is depressed. she snaps at me and tells me im not supporting her. i respect her a lot so i don t snap back but other then the usual staff i do to help and chip in with bills and stuff i don t know how to support her, i ve got depression myself and there is not many people she feels comfortable around to help support her. she has started her medication for her depression and will be seeing a consoler but i don t know how to support her until then.
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I see your problem. You do not have to support her. Just continue with the love and affection you are already showing. Your mother is in a disorder. She will say so many things about you because of that. Ignore those comments. It is part of her disorder. Your duty is to love her and be affectionate to her. Treat her as if she is a child and she will come nice to you. Also you do not have to worry much about her illness and put yourself in problems.
Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
