Tell your mother about the depression and go get some help. There are many drugs to help depression. Also, talk to a therapist. If you do not like the first therapist, go to another until you find one you feel comfortable with. You will feel much better and sometimes therapist know (from other patients) of a good back doctor. You keep trying and DONT GIVE UP. You are young and will find the right help to get better. Now log off and GO TELL YOUR MOM YOU WANT HELP WITH YOUR DEPRESSION. GOOD LUCK!!!!
