As much as it would help if your mum was supporting you through this hard time in your life and I agree with the others about showing her what you have wrote down but you know what your dealing with and if your mum can't understand that then use others that will support you because constantly having your feelings belittled will only make things worse, anyone that doesn't understand what your going through, who cares about them, focus on yourself.
Depression can be very difficult and confusing time but keep fighting because it does get better.
Try writing in a diary every day, I have been told that is a type of self therapy that might give you a small relief.
You're awesome, keep telling yourself you're awesome and if negative thoughts happen just say no I'm awesome.
Hope this helps, first time writing on sites like this
I agree with Paxiled, perhaps showing your mother that you're reaching out in this way will indicate to her that you truly are in dire need of help. I am immensely sorry that you are going through all of this; I suffered greatly from depression too as a teen, even to this day, though it mainly targets me during my menstrual cycle. I know how frustrating it can be, seeking for help and being dismissed due to the idea that it's all "a cry for attention." That is hardly ever the case; depression is real and it can be a major hindrance in life. My advice to you is to remember, you're not alone and while depression is SO difficult to overcome, always remember to take that first step, even though it is hard, try to stay positive while you and (I hope) your mother figure things out for you. I have experienced exactly what you described in my life, and I just want to let you know you WILL overcome this, don't believe the lie that your mind and emotions tell you. It may take time, but don't give up, hun. It is already wonderful that you took the step in reaching out, and that you want the help; because if you really weren't depressed as your mom believes, you wouldn't be seeking elsewhere, and individuals who claim they have depression when they really don't, normally don't make such an effort as you are. I wish you the best and I promise you, you're going to get through this as you already made the right decisions to start off. Take care, and most importantly, stay strong!
hey stay strong okay? im in almost the same situation. i understand.
Okay, here's the thing. Show this post to your mother. Maybe seeing it in print will have the required effect on her. Generally, though, when a psychologist, if you believe the psychologists were good ones, tells you to see a psychiatrist, they have determined that your problem is so serious at the moment that you need medication to get you to a point where you'll be able to properly use the therapy. But I'm wondering about the quality of the therapists you saw, because medication does not solve the problem -- when it works it tamps down the symptoms -- and so you would still benefit from therapy would probably need it if you ever wanted to get off medication. Also, you're pretty young for medication, but again, if two psychologists told you to see a psychiatrist that's a pretty big indication that right now that might be what you need. But you still need a good psychologist, and I'm not convinced the ones you've seen fit that definition because they ended your therapy -- that's the odd part. Again, show this post to your Mom.
