my mom is great .. unless something is wrong. i told her I was depressed, and she completely dismissed it as "normal teenage feelings", but I think I know better. Then, I asked her if maybe I could be bipolar, and she once again dismissed it in the same way. I know something is wrong with me, but she ignores it. My brother went through this exact same thing at an even younger age than I am, and she sent him to a psychiatrist right away. She says that because I saw what John (my brother) went through, I'm probably just faking it. What do I do? I don't know how I can show her. At the beginning of all this, I would cry uncontrollably right in front of her, and she would just dismiss me.
