Struggling with Family Dynamics

Being around my mom makes me feel really depressed. It’s been a constant struggle for me, especially as I’ve gotten older. I find myself feeling like I’m back in my teenage years, experiencing all the same negative emotions. I know it’s not healthy for me to feel this way, but it’s hard to break out of this cycle. I’ve tried talking to her about it, but it always ends up in an argument. I know I need to prioritize my own mental health, but it’s tough when it feels like I’m constantly being pulled back into this dark place. I would love to hear from others who have experienced something similar and how you have coped with it. It’s comforting to know that I’m not alone in this struggle.
