Options: I am sorry to hear this. Even if your mother is mad, i would hope that she would be willing to schedule an appointment for you to meet with your doctor or therapist so that you can be evaluated. This is the best route. However, some other possible options include talking to your school nurse or your pastor - both may be able to assist your family with connecting with services. Take care.

Keep talking: You did the right thing and hopefully your mom will come around. Keep telling people you trust until someone takes you seriously and assists you in getting help. If you feel that you might try to harm yourself call a suicide hotline.
