Mum is becoming very controlling and im finding it impossible to leave the house without an argument or her being unhappy about it. I feel trapped.
When I try and explain to her how Im feeling about things it either ends in an argument or she turns it around to make me feel guilty for wanting to do something.
In the last few days its gotten to the point where my Sister and I are wanting to move out because it is becoming emotionally impossible to live with her.
Ive asked her to PLEASE go and talk to someone and try and get herself back to who she used to be but she refuses.
Im running out of options on how to help her and as much as I do not want to move out and away from my Mum in a time where she needs her family, it is starting to look like the last and final option.
I myself am becoming mentally sick. With already a history of depression and anxiety, I am not coping mentally with any of this. Ive had 5 anxiety/panic attacks in the last 2 months, and this is the first time in 22 years of my living that ive ever had them.
I dont know what to do or how to fix this situation so that everyone is happy and we can all live together like we always have.

So this is my first post on this website.
I am a 22 year old female living in South Gippsland, Victoria.
My mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in May of 2015. So far we have concurred chemotherapy and surgery (lumpectomy). Coming up next month is radiotherapy.
Personally, I am struggling. I dont know how to cope anymore and deal with my mothers emotional roller coasters on a daily basis. I wake up not knowing whether she is going to be in a good mood or a bad mood. If im going to get yelled at or asked if we would like to have breakfast together or go for a drive.
How I have been feeling on a daily basis recently is useless. I feel like nothing I do is good enough, nothing I say is good enough. There seems to always be a problem, even when there isn't one, she will find one.
I feel as though if I polished the floors with a toothbrush, it still wouldn't be recognized or appreciated or once again, good enough.
I am sick of feeling pathetic and useless and unwanted and unappreciated and stupid and worthless.
How do I get my mother back? I miss my best friend. I don't know who this person in my mothers body is, its horrible and scary.
There is ALOT more to this story, this is just dot points. I didn't want to scare anyone off if I wrote a novel.
Anyone out there who thinks they can help me or just be a good listener, I would appreciate it more than you will ever know.
