I don’t know what else to say, I need to discuss to my mom on what’s been going on because she seems to have forgotten, I can’t bring myself to do it and I’m really stressing out over nothing now.
Its just building on and she tends to act like nothing out of the ordinary is wrong.

Maybe try writing a letter to her. It might be easier for you to gather your thoughts that way.

I wish this thing had a hug button instead of the like button. I don’t like that you feel that way!
I can’t, I can’t write legibly. Especially when about this stuff.
Try making a list. It doesn’t have to make sense. It will help your case if it doesn’t.
Or pick from this list:
I’m having delusions
hearing voices
having negative symptoms
disorganized thinking
abnormal motor behavior
-The inability to experience joy or pleasure from activities (called anhedonia)
–Sometimes feeling nothing at all
–Appearing desireless- seeking nothing, wanting nothing
–Feeling indifferent to important events
–Feeling detached from your own body (depersonalization)
–Hypersensitivity to criticism, insults, or hurt feelings
–Sudden irritability, anger, hostility, suspiciousness, resentment
–Depression- feeling discouraged and hopeless about the future
–Low motivation, energy, and little or no enthusiasm
–Suicidal thoughts or suicidal ideation
–Rapidly changing mood- from happy to sad to angry for no apparent reason (called labile mood)
–Severe Anxiety
-Ruminating thoughts
-Racing thoughts
–In conversation you tend to say very little (called poverty of speech or alogia)
–Suddenly halting speech in the middle of a sentence (thought blocking)
I need to be seen by a psychiatrist
These are from this site. You can cut and paste.

Sad part is I experience like, 95% of the stuff in that list. I have been for years, last time I talked to my mom about it I wasn’t able to say it all, just that I severely needed help.
Sometimes all you need to do is say you need help. I hope you can get the help you need. Now is the time to be brave and let her know.
Type it? You type here…pretend you are just typing a message here but you are talking to your Mom…
I could try that, main issue being that I don’t know how I’ll bring myself to ask her to see it.
mail it or email it? Or leave it somewhere she will get it?
Personal computer, she doesn’t use an email, I basically have no way of contacting her about this. All I can do is keep asking when the medical cards come in and then just tell her I need to see a psychiatrist, but without reasoning I don’t know how well it’ll work.
It’s your mom! She’s known you all your life.You really can’t talk about mental health issues? My guess is she wants the best for you. In order for that to happen it seems she would want to know your problems so you both can deal with them. You’re just going to have to take the plunge and bring it up to her. She may even be cool with it.
Me and my mom have had a lot of shaky years. I’ve told her my issues before but they seem to have passed her. But I also didn’t tell everything, other than that I have a lot of problems.
Wow. Bad situation. My family are my biggest allies in this fight.
