I’ve had the symptoms of and on for about a year now.
They’ll go away, the come back.
I really do want to tell her because I’m tired of being depressed.
She’s just going to say I have no reason to be depressed because I have no chores, I get whatever I want, etc.
But she doesn’t realize people can’t help it if they have depression.

I have not been diagnosed with depression. But I have been asking to go to the doctor for several years now to be checked for depression and my mom refused to take me or pay for any of this. (I basically know that I am, I guess I just need a professional’s assurance.) Now I’m 18 and have NO extra money whatsoever to go see a doctor, let alone pay for medication if diagnosed. I don’t know anything about insurance. Help!
