This sounds like a very rough situation for you to be going through!. And sounds like your mom has experienced something rough as well!. My heart goes out to you both as I know many who struggle with depression and other mental illnesses!. It is very very hard to pinpoint what causes it but there are many traumatic events that could have caused this!.

I can give you a list of things but I have no idea what it really could be!. You are her daughter and know her best so you should investigate from there!. And I'm sure I won't be the only one to say!.!. and I am not trying to say you have to do what I say but I strongly suggest that you get your Mom some help from a professional!. Nobody deserves to go through pain and if she hasn't asked for help yet it makes me think that maybe she feels like she should be punished and that is why she becomes depressed!.

List of traumatic psychological events that may have caused this:

-Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse (I lean toward this because you talk about her getting raped and like I said - many people, especially young girls, think that getting raped is their fault and that is where the domino effect starts!.!. where she is harming herself, etc!.
-Life threatening events (car accidents, violent crime, medical complication)
-Seeing someone die (especially when you believe you could and should have done something)
-Seeing someone be abused, tortured, etc!. (again especially when you believe you could and should have done something)
-Loss of a loved one
-Loss of any close relationship

And I'm sure there are many other things!. My main point I guess is that even if you find out what it is that she experienced, it won't make her depression and self-harm go away!. I know there is a stigma attached to mental health professionals and all that but I know from experience that it can be extremely helpful!.

Sorry I wrote a book!. But this really hit me in a close spot!. I got into a car accident 4 years ago that had my best friend air cared to the hospital where she stayed for 6 months!. I know what psychological trauma and overwhelming guilt feels like!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hope you don't become your mums mother!. If you do guess right, what will that do for your relationship!? Maybe she did something to someone else rather than herself, so she does stuff to herself as penance now!. Of course it's not the best way to deal with guilt!. She should be working on her behaviour and what causes it rather than weighing you down!. The best way you can help her is get support for yourself and be assertive with your mum!. Don't let her manipulate you cos it's bad for her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

being raped is a HUGE thing!. all i will say is that you should try to help your mom get through it!. be supportive and stop her when you catch her doing something terrible like cutting herself or burning!. tell her to move on and let the pass be the pass, even though it's going to be hard, that's why she got you!. help your mom but don't go overboard!.

hope this helps !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. be the best you can beWww@Answer-Health@Com
