Hello everyone, this is going to be my second post I will be making. This is tied to my current situation.
For anyone who didn't know, I (26, female) live with my mother who I believe displays narcisstic and controlling traits and because of that, I've been struggling with mental health issues and, over time, I feel like it has been getting worse for me to the point I have been put under a lot of stress.
I overeat, I constantly feel tired and now I recently started noticing that I’m beginning to display OCD traits, such as excessively washing my hands.
Unfortunately I cannot speak my mind and open up how I feel because to her mental illnesses are just an excuse for someone who is lazy and she refuses to listen to any other reasons. Just today, she wouldn’t let me talk and instead dumped our housemate’s responsibilities onto me and expected me to deal with it all. I tried to tell her this is not my responsibility to take and that I shouldn't be the one to take it but all I get was "this person can't do this because they're unavailable" or "you always at home doing nothing all day".
I also have been struggling with a disability. So far I have been working on getting back to a professional help and have been making a secret plan to get away from her as soon as possible as I don't feel like I have a safe space at home since everywhere I go she would hover around me.
I was wondering if anyone has been through similiar situation. How do you deal with it? What helps you to get through the day?
Thank you for listening and I hope that everyone been having a great day.
