asking my mom about going back on medication before school...?

Question:

about 6 months ago i went into the doctors and was given meds for depression. they didnt work for me. i dropped outta school. was put on another medication. made things worse. then just a month ago i was given a 3rd medication to try. and it didnt help either. school is starting in 3 weeks and i have really bad anxiety about things, especially if they are new to me. i have panic attacks. anxiety and my depression was what kept me from going to school last year. and going back is scaring me. but its what i wanna do. i just dont wanna go back to the bad place of being so lost and alone, cuz i have no motivation..my parents arent supportive really, and my friends and i rarely talk. so i want to find a medication that works..i was supposed to have a doc appt to see if the 3rd med that i was on worked and i cancelled it cuz my mom didnt wanna take me. i wanna go..

my ? is how do i convince my mom to take me?and i guess is there anything u do that u can share to help w/stress? please and ty

Answers:
why do you want to get back on meds if none of them have worked for you? and can i ask that while you were on meds did you attend therapy sessions regularly? the medication alone will not take all your problems away. trust me i know. you should tell your mom that you would like to get back on your meds and perhaps get some therapy to aid in your healing. if you truly believe that you can get out of this rut you're in then you can. you just need a little push, which a psychologist can give you.

ive been severely depressed too lately, but i do not have the luxury of insurance to help pay for meds or therapy.. so i made my own plan that i was going to start exercising every morning and eat right and then maybe i'll feel better about myself. you can try that too.

your mom probably thinks nothing of it. people dont normally understand the pain of depression. some think its just a cry for attention and that its nothing. but they are wrong. you have to show your mom that its much more than that. and that when you're depressed the world and your problems seem much more bigger and painful, and that if she cares about you then she should help you on the road to recovery.

if she still doesnt help you, i suggest going to the supermarket or vitamin shoppe and buy st johns wort pills (its an herb). take that and keep a private daily blog/journal of your pains and frustrations. you have to vent it out. otherwise it will build up inside of you and consume you.

extracurricular activities also helps. pick up an instrument or write some poetry. or start drawing or painting. do SOMETHING. dont just sit there and wallow in your own misery.

ok say it like this "MOM I WANA GO TO THE DOCTER FOR MY ANGSITAT BE4 SCHOOL"

have you thought about therapy, maybe that'll help you calm down a bit...

im sorry about your anxiety and depression, i bet its hard not being able to find a cure. if your mom wont listen, maybe you have a close relative that could talk to her? you could even try telling one of your friends parents to talk to her about it. in a way it sounds like she is trying to ignore your problem, or maybe she doesnt see how badly you actually want to fix it.

the only thing that i can think of about helping you with stress, is to find something to calm you. maybe you like to read, or paint, or listen to music. try to find something that you can just relax to. also, if youre stressing about big projects or something, just take it one step at a time. good luck.
