How to tell mom that I need help for depression?
I need help for my “prolonged sadness”?seriously I cant bring myself to tell her, because then shell be like “what did I do wrong” which I cant stand. I went to a shrink for a while then quit and she doesnt think I need one, but she doesnt understand.

You need to do things to help yourself through this sadness phase, here are some steps you should take:
Step1 Express your feelings. Bottling your emotions inside won’t make them go away and won’t allow you to move forward. Cry, scream or write an angry letter. Don’t mail it, but write it so you can say all the things you want to say.
Step2 Evaluate your life. If there are things that add to your sadness, such as drugs, alcohol abuse or a toxic relationship, break that cycle and end the pain. It will take time, but you will heal and be better for doing so.
Step3 Do something positive for someone else. The best way to overcome sadness and depression is to be of service. Serve food to the homeless, visit shut-ins in your neighborhood or go read to seniors or children in the hospital. Everyone will benefit from your actions.
Step4 Get plenty of exercise. Even if you’re not in shape to run a marathon, taking a walk in the morning or after dinner will help relieve stress, which also helps you overcome sadness and depression.
Step5 Find something that makes you happy. Take in a funny movie or visit an upbeat friend. That attitude is just as contagious as sadness is.
Step6 Consult a physician. Many times sadness and depression can be treated with medication to help you recover and return to your life. If you’re suffering sadness and depression for unknown reasons or extended periods of time, ask your doctor for help.
Step7 Make a list everyday of things you’re grateful for. Make it a rule that you can’t repeat anything from one day to the next. By doing this, you train yourself to search for positive aspects of life rather than focusing on the negative things.
Unload on someone is my advice, try to distract yourself or just come out to your mother, you can fix your relation ship when you feel better. Her being sad is better then you being seriously depressed or even dead. Feel free to talk to me, I’ve had friends with depression problems before.
You need to find help. Your mother may surprise you and help you find the help you need. If she doesn’t, you need to find a support structure. School counselor, school nurse, local health clinic or even clergy. Depression can lead to many other problems that are far worse than the depression itself. Please don’t wait on this and find help now. the best time to beat depression is while you are still reasonably functional.
