mom wants me to see psychiatrist
I was having a heart to heart talk with my mom last night and she mentioned that maybe I should go to a psychiatrist. At first I thought she was joking, and then I realized that she was serious. I was (well still am) really hurt and shocked. I don't think I have a problem at all, and my mom really isn't one to go to psychiatrists which is why I'm so hurt because my mom thinks I'm so messed up that I need professional help.
I'm very upset, I don't think I have any problems, and I think that there are a couple people in this family that need help way more than I do. I just feel attacked and sort ostracized by my own mother right now.
I just need a pep talk or just any feedback would be nice. Thank you.
17/F (But I'll be 18 in less than two weeks, so I doubt my mom will be able to make an appointment before then because I am NOT going, and at 18 I can legally make my own choices.)

Well forst of all i'm sorry your feeling hurt. I have to say that your mother doesn't think your crazy, but maybe she sees something in you that you don't see, like maybe she thonks your depressed or something. What you need to do i calmly confrount your mother and ask her why she feels you should go to a psychiatrist. If you hear what your mom as to say then you may see what she sees too. Hope i helped you. :^)

Um.. Okay. When you become a mother y our always going to be protective over your child no matter what. She doesn't mean to hurt you, she wants to help you so bad that she would anything for you.
Look i think you should go, not because you're messed up or anything. No just because it won't hurt at all, and he might help you in some stuff. Not a big problem.
Good Luck and talk to your mom.

Hi there,
I am sure that your mum didn't mean for that suggestion to come off as hurtful.
Perhaps she can see something in your attitude that she's reading too much into and that's why she suggested for you to see a psychiatrist.
Tell her that you can't understand why she mentioned it to you. Ask her why she thinks you need to get professional help.
Just talk to her and tell her that you didn't appreciate her telling you that she thinks you need help especially if you are over 100% sure that you don't feel you need to talk to someone.
Hope I Helped :)

I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt your feelings, she probably thought you were reaching out for help or advice. If this really is bothering you, you should tell your mother exactly how you feel. She is the one person in this world that will understand.
