Every time my mum tries to support me with my academic work I become tetchy agitated angry upset hurt misunderstood and it usually leads to her getting frustrated with me and me shutting down needing lots of physics and mental space, I usually find myself crying a lot and needing to blast music or block my ears and rock myself to soothe my body, my chest feels electric and I hate it when she tries to hug me.

Why is this?

She usually offers me support but she just chats to me and asks me lots of questions about why I can’t do it or what’s going on or what the best option is of things to do or if I need a break or should I be doing something or how can she help, she doesn’t understand why I find it hard and neither do I, it’s overwhelming as fuuuckk.

I have issues with procrastinating which I have had therapy for and have dealt with alllll of this I’ve described from the age of 14 to now at 21 through school and uni.
