there must be something or someone who can help me, right? there must be something that can be done to lift this depression. i cant imagine going on like this much longer....
im tired of hurting and struggling like this every day

A bad month feels like years!! That doesn't mean it will last forever. That's the first lie depression tries to convince us of.
Even if 'well' isn't great for you, it's better than now and most likely will come back.
Let yourself cry when you need to, it is a release and can help you cope. Try not to be angry with yourself for crying, it's a sign of pain, not weakness.
It sounds like you're a survivor. While your Mom is at work, if it gets really bad, call a helpline.
I pnoned the Samaritans today and a lovely person was there for me, he didn't judge or pretend everything would be OK, but helped me get it out of my system and calm down and I feel a lot better this evening.
Be kind to yourself, YOU deserve it
