Loss of control has happened to me more than I’d like… but explaining it just makes it sound like an excuse, and (from experience, anyway) people won’t have any of that…
No, its not. Abusive and codependent people do this to manipulate. This is how it feels. You feel like its all a lie, like there is no love and nobody ever loved you, and all that poison comes out, and when it passes you are sick and sorry.You can’t imagine how you felt that way, and are horrified and ashamed of the things you said.
That’s a notion (children can’t be depressed) that was officially discarded in the mid ’80s. Nevertheless it continues to create woe and fails to remediate sorrow.
My mom does this and says horrible things to me but then tells me I’m not supportive because that’s her way of expressing herself. I don’t know what to do anymore because I can’t tell her how I’m struggling because she just throws it in my face and says I have no reason to be depressed.

Story of my life..
wow this one is all too familiar David
Joe Hayabusa Brooks. *cuddle*
Wow to true Jako King
Been on both sides of this. In the same relationship. *sigh*
Depression is a serious issue…but is this not also showing a verbally abusive and codepent relationship? That’s terrifying

My friend has a kid who does this regularly… and the doctors keep telling her children that young can’t be clinically depressed.
I was depressed in my pre-teens in the 70s. Whilst I was not diagnosed until I was at uni at 18, I was definitely clinically depressed from age nine.

It can theoretically, happen to anyone.
This is exactly how I’m feeling. Sometimes I can love, sometimes I can only scream and hate, but I really don’t mean it… Just losing control 🙁
yep. Know this too… every relationship I had…
Wow! So me and what my other half has put up with. Now I see it in our child.

Depression does not need a reason. She is just trying to remain the center of attention.
