Anxiety and just feel blah lately

[Jmerrick22]

So I've recently started a new job which I really like, and I've started to see someone and he makes me really happy. However, my mother who is a single parent has been causing me a lot of stress lately. This boy is amazing and treats me so well. She hasn't met him yet and she makes all kinds of derogatory remarks about him which upsets me and she knows it . She also calls me constantly when I'm out with him, and as soon as I come home she starts on me . She leaves me nasty voicemails etc. I will be 25 in January and I feel like I'm being suffocated by my mother and it's starting to bring my depression back and I've been on 20 mg Prozac for around two months . The dr suggested raising it to 30 mg but I feel like I'm just putting a bandaid on the issues . I think seeing a counselor would be good for me . Any thoughts on this ? Or what do you think I could do ? I just want some happiness back in my life

It sounds like your mom is a little toxic. Can you move away? If not your need to put up some clear boundaries asap or it'll infect other parts of your life.
