Re: Help me stop resenting my mother

Actually, because it's something my friends suspected too, can I ask what you mean by her hormones? Is it an imbalance? Was it always like that or did she just start getting worse? For me it feels like I've become this way over time, and while I had mood swings as a kid, for all of my 20's I was mostly fine. It's just become worse with stress, and things I've gone through.

AYRT

hey there.
I'm an ESL so it's a bit difficult to explain, but basically, as it was explained to me:

My mom's side of the family has a long, long, long history of mental illness (depression, suicide, various disorders). There are some symptoms earlier on, during puberty, but for most of the women of the family (as it seems to mainly afflict the female members of the family; 3 of my mothers 8 sisters also show symptoms similar to her's) they really manifest during menopause, so the general consensus seems to be that there is an inherent hormone imbalance in the body that is worsened through strong hormonal changes.
This seems to be not too far off, as one of the sisters who took hormone supplements (she's the only one, the other sisters never did because of their religious beliefs) showed signs way earlier than the others.


Dearest anon, I hope that clears things a bit up.
Please don't beat yourself up regarding anything of your illness - you did not choose this, and you should never be held accountable for things you had no say in.
I hope things get better for you soon and you can live the life you want to.

Thanks. That really helps a lot. I think I have other problems on top of it that just complicate it (Attention Deficit Disorder for one), but that really might be what's wrong with me too. I'm scared of taking hormones, so I didn't want to listen to them. I didn't want to admit that there was something wrong with me and I keep telling myself if I'm strong enough, I can just change how I think. But I know it's not weakness to go to a doctor. I'll do everything I can.

I hope things get better for your mom and your family!
