I need advice
My mom isn't really taking my mental health seriously. I've told her about it and how on multiple occasions, I can't seem to enjoy life and I've had thoughts of ending my life. She often jokes about it, like in my last post on here, but the other day she had gotten upset with me.
She had found some of the things I had been reposting on tiktok and confronted me about it. I understand that she is worried about me but she went on to say that it's hard to believe me when I've lied about conditions I've had. I have a migraine disorder that I had to take medication for on top of three other medications. After a while, I expressed how being on so many medications was making me miserable and I couldn't keep up with all of them. I will admit, I did take myself off of them even though I do still get migraines, thankfully it's gotten better than it had been at the beginning. I, in no way, lied to my mother about them and she has seen first hand how bad they had gotten before.
She refuses to believe there is something wrong with me and will not get me checked by a psychiatrist until I talk to my school counselor. My schools counselor is not gonna do anything but possibly call my mom and tell her the things she already knows seeing as it's the only solution she can come up with when others have came to her about their own mental health.
My friends have gone up to my mother and have expressed how worried they are for me and my well-being MULTIPLE times and nothing is still being done. All my mom thinks it is is a hormone imbalance and a few bad days. I don't know what to do, I really need advice.
