i'm 16, and i have been depressed for over a year now, and it hasn't gone away. My mom doesnt get it AT ALL. Me and my mom used to go to school late so we could go to breakfast and talk, go to the gym together, come to work just to chill out, watch movies together...now nothing. first my mom was okay with it, then she just went into denial saying she didn't want to deal with me anymore. She wanted me to stop taking meds, she wanted me to stop going to the therapist, she wanted me to do counseling with my church pastor. i've done all of that, and i still dont feel better. She used to whine about how i'm depressed because i'm "up in my room all the time", and i stopped doing that. now she doesnt even care. We dont go to the gym anymore, we don't go out to dinner anymore, its like i'm not her daughter anymore, unless something goes wrong then i'm the one to blame. She's always working or out with her boyfriend, rather than actually taking care of her children. I tell her how i feel about her never being home and leaving all the responsibility to me and how it makes me more depressed, she just gets mad. What can i do to make her like me again?
