Basically as the statement says I’m super tired living with my mom. 26 year old female for reference I moved back home after living on my own for two years due to obtaining a better job so I’ve had to move back in with my mom as apartment prices are absolutely insane. I’m not sure what’s happening but my mom has been criticizing everything I do. What I wear, how I dress, what I eat, how I do laundry and clean it’s extremely frustrating and exhausting. And I am literally sick with a bad head cold and she got upset that I didn’t fold her laundry even though I was nice enough to wash and dry it just for an example. For context she wants to me essentially act like I don’t live here. The way it’s setup is I have my room downstairs with no kitchen or microwave or any way to make food and no desk so I usually spend time upstairs in the kitchen (I cleared off a small section of the table) to do my art stuff and of course get the basic things like food and water. Well she throws a fit anytime my stuff is in the kitchen despite you know having no where else to put it. Essentially in my mind she doesn’t want me to be heard or seen which really hurts. Oh and also got diagnosed with OCD and just started working on it and one of my compulsions is putting my clothes in the dryer when I come home which is proving to be a massive issue for her even though I’m actively working to stop said compulsion I’ve stopped putting clothes in the dryer after waking up still working on trying to not do it when I get home but it isn’t easy with my new therapist but she doesn’t care that’s it’s difficult she doesn’t care about my anxiety just that again my stuff is there her (she only does laundry once a week and I always make sure the dryer is completely empty, I’ve also offered multiple times to assist with paying the electric bill and keep getting denied) Anyways I’m just super frustrated with her and just wanted somewhere to vent to definitely a conversation with my therapist this week.

It sounds like she doesn’t want you living with her. Rent has been increasing everywhere over the past few years it seems but if you have a roommate can you afford to get a place? I feel like so many people won’t leave home unless they can afford their own place without a roommate, which is becoming less realistic in these economies.
