I was going to tell this to my friend, but I don't want him to hate me, so I'll just post it here.

I came home from school at 5pm (I had one class, but I left at 9 am because I like getting a private study room on campus). My mum was in a good mood that morning and seemed fine when I came home. She cooked two things and was gonna put both on my plate, then I told her I only wanted one. She got livid and started screaming at me, telling me that I can do whatever I want, that she wasted her life raising a failure, that if I wanted to starve I could, that I'm filthy etc. I messed up by muttering "Jesus Christ" under my breath (she heard me) and started slamming doors and berating me.

This morning before I left, she highlighted some things she wanted to do (go to the supermarket, cook etc). But when I said I was heading out, she said OK... and when I went to say goodbye, she seemed pretty cheerful. And now she's so angry... I just don't understand. I didn't ask her to cook for me. There's dining on campus, and I was going to eat out until she mentioned she was gonna cook later.

I wish I had stayed home. She got suspicious and asked me if I was really doing my work and going to class. I just like being in the study room before my afternoon class. It's quiet, soundproof, and most importantly, she's not there. I feel guilty, depressed, and miserable. I feel like she'll bar me from ever going back to campus. I hate myself.

I never asked for anything. I never asked to be born. I never asked for her to move with me. I never asked her to cook for me. She does it on her own and then gets mad.

I am going to second this. OP, this is not your fault. There was nothing you could do to prevent it. Something is going on in your mom's brain and body that is messing with her perception of what is going on.

If the person standing next to you started projectile vomiting, you wouldn't ask if there is something wrong with you. It would be obvious that they aren't well. This situation is a psychological version of that. That isn't your fault. There isn't anything you can do about it, but it still affects you. Looks like you were standing in the path of the emotional vomit, and it got on you.

It sucks to be the receiver of emotional vomit. Noone wants vomit on them. It sucks to be the sick person. Emotionally vomiting is not fun.

All you can do is give your mom space and encourage her to go to the doctor. That's it. Your mom is an adult; she has to make her own decisions about that.

If she starts vomiting again, consider removing yourself from the vomit zone. Find somewhere else to be and something else to do until she calms down.
