Venting Does it ever get better...

[Ferret77]

Hey, I haven't posted in a while. My mental health got a bit better, and even for a little while, I had hope. Hope that I could actually be better, that things were looking up finally....But these last months, I've been just falling in and out of depression constantly. No matter what I seem to do, even if external things seem alright, I can never escape myself. I'm sitting here, cutting myself, crying and everything is always the same. Even if it gets better, it always gets worse. Is this really all there is? Is this worth it?
A week ago, my mother tried to choke me and hit me. She'd never done that before. I guess I really am just useless...

Have you reported your mother to the police? What she did to you was assault and is not acceptable. Do you live with your mother and, if so, do you have anyone else you could stay with instead?

You need to cut her out of your life asap and report her to authorities she might be one of your reasons to your mental health issues

It gets better for some people but not everyone. If there is some way out of your mom's house, that might help. Did not help me but it helps some people. It might be worth trying if you can figure a way out
