I'm 14 years old, I'm homeschooled, and I think I'm depressed...
I've told my mom about it but....She's not doing anything about it. at first she said she would take me to a CHRISTIAN counselor but I really don't want to go to one....
all they do is tell you to pray about it and that's not what I need . she wont listen to me and I can't talk to any of my siblings about it. my father isn't available as he is away on a work trip and frankly he's not home much when he's home anyway.
please tell me what I should do! I want to go to my doctor to see what she thinks but my mother wont do anything like that she thinks that the medication is bad for you.
I told my mother Im depressed but she wont do anything about it?

Hello, I am truly sorry to hear about this. I feel you should truly have a heart to heart conversation with your mother. You should explain to her that this is a very serious issue that demands attention. I know mother's worry so much about doing the right thing and providing their child with all that they can. However, there may be some things in your life that she is not aware of. The best you can do for now is tell this is of uttmost importance and you feel, you may need to seek professional help. If your mother is not comfortable with medications, there are alternative therapies.
unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done without one of your parents. if it gets bad enough, being suicidal is literally all it takes to be hospitalized. you need to nag your mom until she does something about it. don't give in. this is her responsibility. and insist that you need medical professional help. not friggin counselling.
The first line of defense against depression and anxiety is B vitamins. Get nutritional yeast powder and/or B-100 pills. Read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right.
Vitamin B2 is a water soluble dye that turns urine bright yellow. So when the color fades, it's time for another pill.
