You know I'm your age and also have a bad relationship with my mom she also takes her frustrations on me. I get abused verbally and emotionally every day. People don't realize how hard it is to actually get the courage to just get up and leave. I'm also in that program too, they want me to go to counseling but I'm afraid to tell my mom because she will have to take me and she gets tired after work too.

It’s pretty shitty of your mom to blame you for this.

Quit the drinking and any other self destructive stuff--be on your side, not your critics. Keep working on managing anxiety. Have a goal--like getting a job so you can move out and away from your critical mother. Use positive encouraging self talk and start every day with an affirmation saying you are worthy, strong and getting better every day. Start to believe in yourself.

She too has struggles. It's sometimes hard to put yourself in the mindset of someone else when you are struggling. Her anger is her own. I suggest going to a new counselor if you can.

I feel like I'll commit suicide if it doesn't get better.

Move out on your own then you don't have to worry about what your mother thinks

You can’t just get over anxiety, that’s not how that works

I'm sorry she's doing this to you..

What’s the source of your anxiety?

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Overcoming anxiety is not a question of “growing up” and certainly not something one snaps their fingers and does. Surely on some level she knows this. It’s [b]her[/b] frustration talking. Keep doing what you need to do to take care of yourself. Drinking, unfortunately, isn’t it longterm.
