I am 14 and I want to go into a mental hospital. I have told my mom before and she said tell your counselor and I have told her and she said no. Mom thinks I just have minor depression but I know I have anxiety, anger issues, i sometimes see things, I have anorexia even though I am fat, and horrible nightmares. I self harm, not cutting myself, but scratching, biting, and hitting myself. I have told my mom about these things but she honestly does not care. People have said to call 911 and tell them, but my anxiety gets in the way of that. I have attempted suicide 4 times before and my mom only knows about two of the times. I do not have the energy to do anything except sit and watch movies that i usually don`t listen to. It scares me that one day i might actually kill myself and almost anything will trigger me now days. it keeps getting worse, seeing a therapist does not help, and I never say my true feelings or I think i might bother someone. I have medication but that does not help I just say it does. The medication for my nightmares worked but i was pulled off them because i have a ''disease" called POTS. I really want/need to go to a mental hospital but I don`t know how to. Please help me.

I have gone to treatment because of depression and anxiety I believe it did help. How I got sent there was I went to my doctor and told her everything even that I have thoughts of suicide she suggested I go to treatment and i agreed. While being at treatment they took a gene testing which determines which medications will work best for you. You should speak to your mom tell her everything I know it hard but it's how you'll get help if she choose not to listen or help, seek help from other like a counselor, teacher, principal, doctor, friend etc I really hope this help keep your head up you can make it threw this.
