Well i totally understand where you stand. I have very low self esteem and my b/f always tries bringing me up. I always call myself ugly and fat and i get scared he will look at another girl and think she's pretty. All i can say honestly is i needed to just accept myself and the way i looked to ever be comfortable in my own skin. I hate like sometimes b/c it always about girls and sluts having sex all the time and it makes me feel like the world only cares about looks and how skinny a girl should be. I have been depressed a long time about this and the only way i cope is by telling myself what i like about me. That if no none likes me for me they can go screw themselves. I don't know you but always remember that you are only human and if people can't just hear you out then it's not your fault. Talk to a school counselor and ask if you can have a psychiatrist come to the school so your mom don't know. I know that's hiding stuff but she really isn't giving you any other options. Good luck. If you get a better answer then that let me know b/c i struggle from that same thing you do.
If you are still school age, the school can help you out. My old high school had someone come in just for kids that want help or need help. I'd go talk to someone in the office, or even the principal.
I am assuming you are still in school..high school maybe?...I am a sophomore in high school and i have the same problem..I have been having big family related problems..and it is very hard for me to manage the situation since i am right in the middle of the whole thing...I went to someone in school...and they sent me to a therapist..My parents then had no other choice but to take me to one..My mom says the same thing...she says that i should talk to her...she says that she doesnt like the fact that i tell some stranger more than i tell her...but i still go..she still takes me....it helps ...A LOT!!...the psychologist (therapist) is somebody that you dont know ...someone who knows absolutely nothing about me and i am able to go and say everything thats on my mind without feeling bad about it and without that feeling that she will tell someone...she has no right to tell anyone unless you are hurting yourself or others...
So go to a school counselor...the counselor will guide you in finding what you need....i wish you the best of luck!!
Try to explain to your mother that talking to her doesn't seem to help and be sure to tell her that you feel "my life is falling apart". If she still refuses to get you some sort of professional help you still have options. I don't know how old you are, but try talking to a guidance counselor, health care professional, or similar. You may also try talking to the parents of a trusted friend if you are otherwise unable to get the help you need. Please do get the help you need as depression hurts, and rarely improves when left unchecked. Good luck and don't give up.
Addendum: Listen to Lost Forever (above) she is/was in the same place as you.
