crazy mother :(
my mom is irrational and manipulative. if i even begin to make a point during one of our disagreements, she turns it around on me and starts crying. the littlest things get her upset. she can't even react normally. she mopes around all day and when i ask her why she's mad, she says "oh, i'm not mad, sweetie." and then cries or something equally retarded. how do i even go about dealing with her?

When she says she's not mad, calmly give her some examples of her behavior that make you think she's mad. If this doesn't work, then withdraw from her a little. My mom has been like this for years and it's better just to let her mope by herself.

hmm.
i'm guessing she would be bi-polar.
at first, it might seem like alcohol or drug abuse, but it is not. bipolar disorder is an illness that involves long-term changes in mood. a person with bipolar disorder experiences alternating highs (mania) & lows (depression). a manic period can be short & last from 3-14 days or longer, lasting up to several weeks. the depressive periods might last from days to weeks or even 6-9 months. the periods of mania & depression range from person to person many people might only experience very brief periods of these intense moods & might not even be aware that they have bipolar disorder.
during severe manic or depressed episodes, people with bipolar disorder might have symptoms that overwhelm their ability to deal with reality. this inability to tell reality from unreality results in psychotic symptoms like hearing voices, paranoia, visual hallucinations, & false beliefs of special powers or identity. they may have distressing periods of great sadness alternating with euphoric optimism (a natural high) or rage that is not typical of the person during periods of wellness. these abrupt shifts of mood interfere with reason, logic & perception to such a drastic degree that those affected might be unaware of the need for help.
if left untreated, a bipolar disorder seriously affects every aspect of a person's life. Bipolar disorder tends to get worse & the person experiences full-fledged manic episodes & depressive episodes, which is why she needs to see a doctor.

Awh, i know how you feel. Maybe something is bothering her, and she might feel awkward or she might feel like she could upset you if she tells you? I think you need to talk to another adult about this, to decipher if she needs to see a therapist. Whatever you do, don't upset her anymore, or at least try not to. I know it may seem hard, but just try not to. Try doing little things around the house, such as chores, so your mother isn't as stressed or overworked. I hope things get better & I hope you two can eventually sit down and talk about whatever is bothering you.

I think...
this is hard...
okay...
You need to talk to another adult about this. Your mom sounds very depressed and she needs to see a theripest or a doctor or something. it is not good if she is mopping around all day. i dont know about your family situation but if your father or one of her syblings could help. your in a sticky situation and you need to deal with it too. "put some plastic over it" or make your situation not sticky and tell/ask for help from some one preferablly an adult. GOOD LUCK!

It's possible that she is bi-polar or has a form of anxiety or depression. I'd suggest talking to her one on one to make sure she's alright, because the fact that you guys argue a lot is probably very difficult for her if she is struggling with one of these disorders. she may be irrational and munipulative, but try to fight her less, even if it means giving in to ridiculous things, maybe if you just try forming a better relationship with her she will be more reasonable, it's worth a try.
