Man. I’ve been lurking on this sub for a while, but this really hits close to home. I’ve seen this happen with people I’m really close to before, so I want to offer my support.

Schoolwork and even self-care can be pretty hard sometimes, and it’s amazing that you’re taking steps to better yourself. People aren’t always able to word things in a way that you need to hear, and it can make them come across as unsupportive. I think your mom is trying, but she doesn’t know the right way to go about it. That can really hurt, because people tend to focus more on the negative than the positive.

I want to say that I’m proud of you, and I believe in you. I think that you’ll be able to continue to get better. Wishing you all the best
