For background;

I’m fourteen and I’m a freshman in highschool. Throughout middle school (6-8), I dealt with depression, anxiety, and we figured out I have ADD. I’m way better than I was before, but I’m still dealing with my anxiety and ADD. I don’t have panic attacks as much, but they happen occasionally.

I just had a panic attack and I have no one I can talk to about it. My mom was calling me dramatic, even though normally she is really supportive and there for me. She said I was just upset and that it wasn’t a panic attack (before I left the room to go get my book, I kept asking questions that she would just say “because I said so” and other responses as such even thought that is not a valid argument or answer). I’m having friend problems with my best friend of 11 years and we are drifting apart. I have other friends, but we are not close enough for me to confide in them during a panic attack even though I’m very open about my mental health. The one friend I feel comfortable talking to, I texted only half an about ago and I feel as if I would burden him about my mental health. We have been friends throughout all my mental health problems and feel bad about it because no adult knows how to deal with a friend going through depression (pretty much suicidal), let alone a freshman, sophomore, and now junior. I don’t know what to do and who to talk to. I feel as though my mom has been less supportive now that I’m doing better and she blows off my panic attacks and emotions and then asks if I need a hug after I’ve calmed myself down. I understand that she has to worry about my dad, brother, and sister, but she hasn’t been there for me when I need her. When I need my mom. When I need anyone. Please help and give me advice. I’m surrounded by so many people, but I feel so alone.
