She had depression for almost two years, that we knew about. It was only a few years ago, and now I've been diagnosed with it. So why doesn't she understand?
When I've just cut myself, I feel really guilty, so why do I want my Mum grabbing my wrists and making me feel even worse?!
I know it must be awful for her, but surely she knows what'll make it worse!

That does sound weird that your mother isn't more sensitive about making things worse for you. Maybe her experiences are different, or maybe she just so wants you to not have to go what she went through that is clouds her logic.

Have you tried to tell her how you feel about this? The least she could do is not make things worse.
