Your mom is being very unloving and not supportive to you at all. You can not scream someone into wellness - or we'd all be screaming at ourselves!!! Your mom needs to learn that just because she wants something from you does not mean she's going to get it, especially something you do not have a lot of control over. You are doing the best you can at any given time, that's all any of us can do.

Try keeping your distance from your mom, especially an emotional distance. Try to keep telling yourself that your mom is sick and her actions are her problem. YOU are not the cause of them, you are unfortunately a target of her unhappiness with herself and her issues. Trying to find a therapist or school counselor to help you is an excellent suggestion. Keep posting here also. You need all the support and help you can get in dealing with your mother.

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
Thanks for this!
