You say you're 16 - you can get a GP appointment yourself, show her you want to make steps to get well again.

If you're in the UK there are services you can self-refer to as well. The wait lists tend to be long, but it will hopefully show that progress can be made.

You could also try some techniques at home - with my students we recommend Healthy Minds (https://www.lpft.nhs.uk/young-people/lincolnshire/young-people/i-need-more-help/low-mood-and-depression) BUT this would be temporary until you could get further support

On that, you could talk to teachers at school, school nurse - anyone in a position with safeguarding will have a requirement to move things forward and be able to give you more specific advice

Ask her to take you. Take ownership of your health and well-being and ask her to help you.

Your mom is reeling right now. She knows you need help, she's afraid of what will happen if you don’t get it. She took a big step and admitted there is something wrong with her child and it is more then she can fix herself. Instead of getting you the help you need you pushed her away. You pushed her away by showing her how worthless you found life. Which was probably showing her things were worse then she was ready to believe. Give her hope that you want help and she will be there
