Please don’t tell me “see a therapist” I know that already.
My rebuttal is that your mom’s a bitch and there’s no reason to pay attention to anything she says.
Damn right.
Right? If I had a mom like that I’d be depressed too.
Oh wait, I did, and I was.
Confirmed. Tagged this person before, I’ve noticed they often comment about some fucked up shit their mom says. But they’re young and probably not able to escape it yet unfortunately :/
She’s giving you the most difficult life lesson. I am almost 40 and to this day I dread to ‘actively hear’ many words my dad has to say about me or my decisions. It’s a difficult lesson because they are our caregivers and as such they did many good deeds. But at some point we need to put our own mental health above anyone else’s rant, rage, or toxicity. We don’t owe them shit. After that leap, you may be able to come back to the issue that they were addressing with their comments and reflect upon the issue itself on your own and/ or with the help of others (friends, therapist, chatgpt?? I wouldn’t recommend the latter but it may be a good starting point and better than nothing…)
She’s utterly wrong. Take Robin Williams as an example: he was famous, rich, loved by everybody, stupendously funny. Still had depression. Still suffered.
It has nothing to do with people’s “value” or their work ethic.
Iirc part of the reason he killed himself was because he had a very aggressive form of dementia.
He had Lewy Body Dementia, which is a horrific disease. That’s why he killed himself. Not depression. Look into what it’s like to experience that disease, and you would probably want to kill yourself also.
I wrote a longer comment above, but you should know that the symptom of actual clinical depression is present in many neurological disorders, including Lewy Body Dementia: when both are present they cannot be separated.
But what you say is absolutely true: the disease is beyond horrible.
That statement has as much empirical evidence behind it as stating that depression is caused by the lost souls of dead aliens from an ancient federation killed by an evil overlord being stuck to your person and generating negative thoughts as a result of their traumatic death.
Hitchen’s Razor is your ally; what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
Tell your mom some random on the internet told her she can eat a bag of dicks.
That story sounds somewhat Scienterrific
Scientoligical, even. Just listening to it, I can feel my personal agency transcending its bond with matter to the point of mastery over it as I shed those lost souls. If you too, would like to learn how, please DM me and have a payment method ready. Trascendental enlightenment ain’t cheap.
- All humans have an inherent value.
- Depression has numerous contributing environmental, social, and biological factors.
- Who asked bitch? Shut your dumb ass up.
Your mom is an asshole.
tell her to remember that as she ages and her “value” declines
ohhhh well done
Stop talking to your mother. She is a bad person and will have negative effects on your mental health.
She’s been brainwashed into thinking that only people who contribute to capitalism have value.
I mean, she has a lot of investments in this system… seems about right for a capitalist.
She thinks she earned it.
She forgot how much I helped her.
She forgot how every time she made me translate stuff. How I literally filed her taxes every year.
But then she says that’s something so insignificant, and that she could find an accountant to do it. And she refuses to find a lawyer, and literally made me starting doing legal paper work stuff when I was 16.
But of course, that’s insignificant.
She told me to go to a court case with her to translate, because she doen’t trust the court interpreters. Then she messed up the paperworks, lost the case, then cries in court, then blamed me for not “helping”, wtf bitch you messed it up.
And she got so petty, she voted against the judge in the next retention election 😂 (of course 1 vote didn’t matter)
Holy shit that’s just abuse at this point. For all you know she might be the cause of your depression.
Unless you need any of that investment she has when she croaks, I’d be cutting ties. That’s a toxic person.
that’s insignificant.
Sorry, but she comes across as a narcissistic person. Probably you have guessed that already. Won’t change your day to day reality, but it helps you when you are establishing your own interpersonal boundaries and contactmoments (small#E).
she sounds so bitter and hurt inside

Your mom’s a cunt.
Woah, hey now. I doubt she’s got the depth or the warmth to be called that!
There’s no rebuttal. Some people are just wrong and honestly better of out of your life.
Also, I can’t imagine she’s just a great, enriching person except for those two opinions.
Prune her of your life.
You cannot logically rebut a bad worldview. Plant seeds of doubt, protect yourself, and move on.
Sorry to break it to you, your mom is an asshole.

Lol I remember I used to say something like: “hey grandmother is kinda useless, kill her? hehe” (jokingly)
I think mom just said something like “she had value in the past” and “i never had value”
… 🥲
my rebuttal would be to cut her entirely out of my life.
