Amen, Jake. If you live in a house with someone who is acting crazy, it makes you crazy (depressed and anxious)-whether it is your mother or your wife or... It's really that simple. Maybe mom is the one that needs the therapy and meds. Anyway, I can empathize with the feelings towards a manipulative mother...it sure sounds like she doesn't want you to get well. But I've been there and I know it may be easy to see from the outside, but impossible to accept when you're in the situation. I like all the posts that basically say, "get away from your mom, if only for a little while". She's the source of your pain. And as Jake said, there's nothing like talking to a fellow male to get this stuff in perspective. Best of luck...
