Hi Hoh, sorry you’re going through this. It sounds like you have a good understanding of what is going on, that your mom is sick and the medication is making her feel worse in many ways and that she might be taking it out on you.
It would be great if your mom had someone to talk to about all of this, and another adult could explain to your mother just how you feel and how this whole situation is affecting you.
In order for that to happen, you have to tell this whole thing to the right person. Your easiest choice is to tell the school counselor. They are trained to help you with trouble at home. They can call your mom and talk to her for you and even get your mom connected to a counselor of her own. You can even print out what you wrote here and have your school counselor read it. How easy is that?
So get off the computer and go to your school’s counseling office and see if you can get this whole thing moving in a better direction. Good luck!

I had a brain tumor removed a year ago. I was on steroids for a long time.
You are you and it is wrong to feel so sad and hurt. I know that but I will try to explain where your mom is coming from.
When you’ve been sick and had a cold or the flu, do you remember how rotten you felt. Now, can you imagine feeling that way everyday? What would you do if when you woke up in the morning you were as tired as you were when you went to bed? And how sad is it to know that you need something that makes you fat and grumpy to help you get out of bed each day. When you feel bad, it makes you irritable and when you never seem to get better, it gets worse.
I am not saying what you Mom is doing is right but I can sympathise with her.
Try to understand that she is sick. Its worse than a cold or strep throat.
I know that you and your sister are young and it is hard being a teenager these days. You are going thru a lot of hormone changes yourself and that dont feel very good when you dont have an adult to help you thru it. Do you have a best friend with a good Mom you can talk to or does your Mom have a friend. I dont want to put your sister down but a t her age, there is a lot that she dosn’t know or understand and probally a lot of thigs that she thinks she knows but dosn’t.
Please dont be angry with your Mom. Try your best to help her and I know it is hard but try to understand how bad she feels and how depressing it is to be pretty and young and healthy and have something change and make you a person taht you dont like being anymore and knowing that there is nothing you can do to change it.
Hopefully, you are eating right and have clean clothes and you are doing well in school with lots of friends. You are young and you should be enjoying life instead of worrying about so many things. My daughter had to do the same thing.
Trust me, it will get better.
I wish I could do more to help you understand but I have already wrote a book. I want to wish you luck and tell you taht God gives us all trials in life and when we pass-we are rewarded. Be good to your Mom and help her because the less stress and problems that occur, the easier life will be for everyone.

Talk to one of your relatives or someone at school, they should be able to help you.
