I have been struggling a lot lately with suicidal thoughts. It’s become a daily occurrence and it’s been really overwhelming to cope. I am safe right but having to fight this is very exhausting. I feel so trapped, I am tired of living in pain, fear and shame. I feel like a burden to people and unimportant.

By her saying that more people have authority over me makes me feel as though more people have the opportunity to control and manipulate me. I don’t think being controlled or manipulated. I think that statement didn’t sit with me well.
I'm glad that statement didn't sit well with you, as it strikes me it's your mum's own fears she's putting on you.
I too have a fear of people controlling and manipulating me, but I do trust my psychologist thoroughly.
How are you feeling today? @creative_writer

I guess it’s about weeding out the toxic people and only allowing people who support and inspire you to be a better person.
Yes, this can be hard @creative_writer .
