Yes, and it will be a long year from what you tell us, however you have lots you can do including getting your mom to go with you to therapy and/or getting your therapist to advocate on your behalf. You can also go to the emergency room and let them know that you are feeling suicidial and that you need meds to help you. The doctors there can talk to your mom as can the social workers. You have lots of options. The problem is that like most of us who are depressed it either seems too overwhelming or you feel unmotivated or you just can't cope with the problems. So the answer? Do what you can. When you can. Hang in there. You just need to do what ever it is that will get you through the "crisis" part of how you feel. A lot of people will tell you that the rough feelings will pass. Yes, even without meds you can cope. Yes, it would be nice if your mom would listen to you. It really sucks that she is being consertive, but often parents are. So without meds you keep yourself as safe as you can. Keep in mind the ER and the other suggestions that everyone has contributed to you here. That's all we can do for you. We hope the best for you. mouse
