My mother always take things negatively and start overthinking on rendom things and get mad. I'm worried about her. What do I do?

Oh wow, I think we have the same mother. My mother is exactly how you described and I’m worried too. I don’t know what to do either, besides encouraging her to actually talk to her therapist and take it seriously. But she’s so stubborn. Her therapist gives her the same advice I do, but she either can’t or won’t take it. I can’t give up on her, but I can’t keep going like this. I probably understand how you feel. I mostly just wanted to let you know that someone else out there has a mother almost exactly like yours.

You can try to sit with your Mom and express your observations and feelings. I see you are feeling worried and concerned for her. Communication is important, so try talking to her honestly and directly. Also, you can direct her to 7 Cups to talk to a certified listener. Just talking really helps :) That is great you came to 7 Cups about this issue. Also, it's wonderful that you are there to offer her a support system. Directing her to 7 Cups can further help her along her path, and if needed, she could be directed to our therapy service.

Well, it's a bit complicated situation here as I've experienced the same with my mother. I was 14 years old when I realized my mother was not mentally well. My sisters and I could see her crying all nights over baseless things and exaggerating every small step. With the passage of time, we came to know of her bitter past and how she had struggled so hard in her youth. Though, she used to dislike all of us and sometimes, couldn't ever bear our existence in the house, still, we gave her immense love and respect that she craved her entire youth. My father was very supportive in this case. Then, after realizing her behavior for all these years, the love we gave her began to make her realize that she needs to change. She started visiting a psychiatrist and after 4 years, she has become a wonderful mother, wife and a student. She continued her PhD and it's in the last stages of completion now. The love we all gave her proved to be a gamechanger and we're all living a peaceful life now ❤️
