Ok,
God i swear i wished i had a reset button i press and everything goes back to normal.
Anyways, ok, my mom is preventing me from getting psychiatric treatment, and is holding me back from collage classes. I am trying to take Accounting, she says "i know what you can handle, you thinking is disorted, rerember mom can think better " That is pure personality disorder you can spell. My mom has a history of many things, she doenst know how to handle situations unless she has absolute apporval.
She will do anything that if she finds out that i am going to psychiatric treatment with out her, she will call the doctors, go to court, which i may have to handle. She refuses to change medications.
With the sitaution i am in i am trying to be Proactive and take Accounting, Collage Algebra, English, Literature. I want to take these courses but she refuses, and with medication i going to the doctor to be prescribed 40mg of dexedrine in the morning, 20mg at night, (english and liturature). I am on 30mg. She says the doctor will only put you on 40mg, thats it.
Listen, these courses are going to be hard, she is passive to what i say, busts out in rages, I have to do something.
I have to now be my own parent, "mother can think clearer than you" that is something that kathy bates would say on the movie Misery (1990). That is pure poisen.
My mom does have a kind side to her, im not saying that she is bad, but she has distored thinking herself. My mom can be nice, wants to do things that are wild, joke about parties, crazy things... ROFL, tells me about she the time she took Quualude, dont ask.. ROFL but with making descions she turns personalites.
Being my own parent is now breaking away from her.
I need advice.
Matt

I can definitely identify with your situation. Both my parents were similiar. The one thing I would recommend is to go to therapy, even if you have to hide it. They probably have one on campus. Sometimes the Psyc department or Social Work department provide counseling. A professional will be better equiped than anyone to tell you the best way to deal with your mother. You're in a very difficult situation, and you're too close to it to consider things objectively. I don't think anyone would know how to handle it on their own.
My T helped me tremendously with my Mom. She also helped me see that her problems aren't my problems. Its easy to take them on and feel responsible. I hope you will get help with this situation soon. I feel like I wasted many, many years not living my own life. I hate to see someone else going through it.

If you're over 18, medical confidentiality issues should not even allow your doc to discuss your medical specifics with your Mom unless you have given written consent. I'm not understanding how all this "interference" is going on.
I think this is a case of you needing to look into resources - college's health center, social services, whatever. That's my advice.
