I'm sorry, but changed her view on what exactly? Trying to help her kids? Medication? What exactly was your goal? To not get any help? To keep suffering through it? I was once your age struggling with major depression (still am) and I wish I would have actually gotten the help I needed when my mom tried to help me. As others have said OP, really apologize to her and let her know that you've thought about it and you didn't mean to hurt her. Take initiative now. It's your turn to tell her you want to get help. From what you've said, I doubt she'll refuse to. You're also gonna have to give her some time to process everything you told her. Hope everything turns out alright ❤️‍🩹!!

She's not now suddenly convinced that life IN FACT is awful, if she's now a little depressed it's because she's super heartbroken that her child has serious mental health issues that they aren't willing to address.

Depression, over the long term isn't something that most people can beat on their own. Start the conversation with your mom. Say "sorry, today was hard, I appreciate how hard you're trying to help me. I'm ready to get help." Things only get better from there.

Yeah you officially fucked up. Your threw you’re only chance at getting help out the window and flipped it off on its way out. You also probably fucked you’re relationship with you’re mom up as well. TL;DR You indeed fucked up.

Edit: Yes I know his mom isn’t going to straight up stop loving him because of what he did, I’m just saying he hurt their relationship in a way that is going to take time to mend.
