I told my Mom about my depression.

I was feeling extremely suicidal and I was afraid that I would do something, so I told her.

Little did I know, she emailed all my teachers at school and told them I have depression and some other personal things.

I am very angry at her for doing that. Now, depression is everywhere. At school, at home, and in my mind. There is no escape anymore, and I feel hopeless.

Though your mother may have had the best intentions, her action violates at least the spirit of medical privacy laws (research HIPAA for the USA).

Important: Does knowing your teachers may be aware of your depression increase your urges to harm yourself?

Please take gentle care of yourself, xIxAmxSadx.

Yes, I do feel like she's betrayed me. And yes, knowing that my teachers now know such a big part of my personal life does extremely increase my urges to harm. I will try to take care of myself as best I can. Thank you for your support. xox
