OK, I have been getting so much better this last year, now that I am on meds and out of my moms house. Now, I am 38 and I have to move back in with my mother because I can not afford to live on my own and go to college! I am not looking forward to this. After talking with a DR (#2 if you read my last post) we concluded that I am predisposed to depression because my mom is depressed. But how to tell my mom that she is depressed?!? Mom is in her 50's. It seems to me that she just accepted a long time ago that this is how life is and it doesn't get any better. She does only what she has to do to get by. She has no friends or hobbies. She works, comes home, and watches TV. That is her whole life. She is depressing to be around, like a black hole that just sucks the energy right out of you. This is why I was thinking of going to the same DR as mom. I was thinking maybe I could convince him to talk to her about it. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
