I need help

My relationship with my mom isn’t that great. I have a lot of issues that I’m starting to believe are a result of how I was raised/brought up (the difference being what she could and couldn’t control) and I also have suicidal thoughts often. I don’t care to tell her bc I’m afraid she won’t take me seriously. My boyfriend is worried about me and thinks my mom and I should go to therapy but we’ve tried that already, several times, and it only made things worse. I don’t know what to do.

There are suicide hotlines you can call 24/7. In addition to that, it sounds like your mom might have similar issues to mine or some kind of mental illness. There may be support groups you can join or a forum where you can make connections online with people in similar situations. Also, I would strongly consider trying therapy on your own and seeing if it can help give some perspective and guidance. I prefer cognitive behavioral therapy and there’s a lot of research behind it.
