So unfortunatly I can kinda relate to this song:

Anyone else and how do you deal with it when you just want to be left alone a bit to live your life?

You could go in your room and shut the door. You could go out and do stuff with friends and on your own.

My mother was difficult, too, and I found it easier to not tell her anything she could use against me. If you complain to your mother about your problems, she will get into your business, but if you keep it to yourself she won't have anything to concern hersefl with.

I don't listen to pink floyd. (Actually first song I heard from them) you said its unfortunate that you relate to this song? Why do you feel that way?

As far as wanting to be alone to live your life.. I pretty much lived at home until I was 23.

My mom was incredibly annoying, I actually went there a couple of months ago and she was trying to control everything I did, from how I packed my suitcase, to trying to make me buy a cell phone (with my own money!)

I mean for the most part I often just shut the door to my room as often as possible and if I REALLY wanted to be out, had my cell phone off.

I actually told her last time I went out there that I don't like how she tries to manage every part of my life and she cried and said that at least that means she cares and said I should worry when she stopped trying to get involved with my life.

I ended up moving out due to similar feelings.

I hope things get better for you soon.

Another concern is I am pretty sure my mom will not be to happy with what I would like to do.......but I can't let how she feels about it stop me even if it is out of real concern rather then an attempt at emotional manipulation or whatever.

It would be easier if your mom understood you. It seems like maybe she is freaked out over your depression because she feels powerless and unable to help with that... and then she tries to make up for her perceived shortcoming by being more controlling.

That is the way it feels for me with my dad, but at least he somewhat understands my depression so I can put up with his pushiness. He stopped telling me my depression was my fault and that I should just "get over it" in high school. I think he realized that was untrue when he saw how much it hurt me and made me feel hatred towards him to the point where I almost wanted to physically hurt him (and I was bigger than him). Now the main thing my dad does that irritates me is he starts doing things for me without my permission if I procrastinate at all. He is supportive, has me on his insurance and pays for my medical needs and such, but he also butts in and intervenes in my life way too much.
