How can I tell my mom about my depression?

I am 15 years old and I'm always super depressed. I've taken plenty of online depression tests from reputable medical sources and even the no-so-reputable websites. All have said that I have severe depression. I looked up symptoms, and I match. The trouble is, my mom and I have never been very close. She takes everything as a joke and when it comes to health, according to her, I'm lying for attention. I can never talk to her about anything serious. I don't want to be depressed anymore. At night it only gets worse. I fall asleep as soon as I get home from school, wake up just before everyone else goes to bed, and stay up all night crying with this weird lonely feeling. The only reason I haven't committed suicide is because I'm afraid of not dying fast enough. I don't want to feel the pain. well, that's the main reason. also because I have a bunny, but my mom's always threatening to get rid of him. The only reason he's still at our house is because of me. I'm the only one who takes care of him. if I was gone, he wouldn't be taken care of, and my mom would probably give him away. I don't want him to leave. I don't want to feel this way anymore. I want to be happy and successful like everyone else. how can I get help? Is there anything I can do that would make my mom believe me?

Depression is a very serious condition and it is very important that you get the help you need. Can you try writing your mom a letter? Or you can call the Boystown Hotline anytime 24/7 at 1-800-448-3000 to talk to a trained counselor, we can also talk with your mom to help her understand how serious your problem is. Please seek help and take care of yourself.
Counselor RR

talk with your school counsellor or anyone that will listen.in most areas there are help lines in place for people with what you are going through. just don;t do nothing seek help asap.i was in the same boat and found that it helped by seeking professional help.one thing to remember you are not alone here unless you want it that way but please there is no need to do it that way.
the best thing to do stay of drugs if that's your thing ,it only worsten the situiation but don;t do nothing.there is hope but you need to reach out. good luck

It's going to have to be a hard conversation.
You should sit her down and say. "Mom, I've been really depressed lately." tell her all of the stuff you said here. then tell her that you want to start saying a psychiatrist immediately.

If that doesn't work
There are clinics where you can get help for free without your parents knowledge.

help me?
