Just be honest.: Tell your mother about your mood, energy level, concentration, memory, self esteem, motivation levels, sex drive, sleep ; appetite. Crying spells, feelings of helplessness or hopelessness are pertinent as well as your capacity to feel joy. Let your mother know immediately if you have suicidal thoughts.

Be candid.: Just be honest. Let your mother know that you are concerned that you are becoming depressed again. Tell her your symptoms. If you are a minor, ask her to help you to obtain professional help. Let her know asap if you are having thoughts of suicide. Take care.
