You're not weak sweetheart. You're struggling - and there is a big BIG difference between the two.
I'm sorry your mum reacted in that way. I think sometimes when people don't understand something, or have any knowledge of it, they tend to do what they think is right - but the truth is, it can often make things worse, because it makes us feel worse about ourselves. That feeling that we are useless and no one can understand.
It's not a true though, we aren't useless and there are people out there who DO understand.
Perhaps showing your mum some leaflets on SH so that she is more aware about it might help, or trying to tell her how it makes you feel when she does certain things? I don't think that anybody can TRULY understand what it's like unless they have been through it - but I think people can try.
I'm really sorry things are so tough right now.
Take care of yourself hunni. You are so not weak, and you deserve to feel better than this. xxxxxxx
