SUBREDDIT: r/relationships
TITLE: My (F/21) mother (48) keeps invalidating my experiences by always talking about how she has it worse.
POST: I've been very depressed lately and I'm currently seeing a counsellor at my college. A lot of my depression comes from my dyslexia which some times makes me feel like I'm bad at my studies. Since it is nearing the end of the semester, I have a lot of work due. Whenever I say something to my mother about how I feel tired or stresses, she invalidates my feelings by saying that she has it much harder than me so I should shut up. I just want to know what I can say when she pulls this shit on me. It's so infuriating.
TL;DR: 
I'm going through a hard time with my studies and whenever I express my concerns, my mother tells me that she has it much worse than me. What can I say to that will make her be more sensitive?
