Ask her. I think she’d be very happy to take you.

She's not now suddenly convinced that life IN FACT is awful, if she's now a little depressed it's because she's super heartbroken that her child has serious mental health issues that they aren't willing to address.

Depression, over the long term isn't something that most people can beat on their own. Start the conversation with your mom. Say "sorry, today was hard, I appreciate how hard you're trying to help me. I'm ready to get help." Things only get better from there.

Then ask to go. Just cause she's unlikely to offer doesn't mean she won't take you if you ask to go.

It sounds like you both need the doctor after the abuse you put her through

Go up to her, hug her, and ask to go to the doctor. Please. I remember being a teenager just a few years ago and wanting to die, and it got so much better out of high school, and once I was on antidepressants

so fucking what singingsausagedog you made a mistake shit happens. try and talk to her and not just saying how awful life is but how to get better while actually listening to her.

you didn’t break your mother although you did continuously fuck up every second trying to “win” an argument.

if anything your mother is thinking out her options because she is extremely concerned and wants to help you.

You can take yourself doctors homie, also eat well, drink water, sleep normal hours. Treat yourself like someone you would care for. Go excercise or make your body move around a bit. You got this man life can be lovely and it can be lovely for you. It's fucking tough to break the depressive cycle but just give it a chance
