How do I tell my mom that i'm getting worse? I'm paranoid and depressed all the time and my mom tells me that she's proud of me and that I'm a good kid but I just feel guilty because I feel like I'm failing her in the worst way possible when I promised I was getting better. I can't even vent without crying like a baby (I can barely see as I'm typing this now.) And I don't know what to do because break is almost over (i go back to school in about 1-2 days) and I know going to school will only make me ten times worse.

Hello, I just read this and apologies if I don’t help the best but may I ask,
Does your mom know about you struggling or are you keeping it in?

My mom knows I'm struggling but I don't know how to explain or advocate for myself properly without bursting out crying or shutting down for reasons I don't know.

Its okay to cry sometimes
You cant always put others in front of your needs yk
Besides why would you be failing her when youre constantly trying

She can't help you if she doesn't know what's happening, tell her what's wrong it's ok to cry, especially in front of your parents, I know that it's hard but you have to try, she will understand, and I get the school part but she can't help you make it a safe space if she doesn't know it isn't one

It’s always ok to cry! It’s a normal response when you go to explain but maybe try texting it to her? Just text your mom and be like
“Hey mom is it ok if I talk to you about something through text” and type out your feelings?
Or if you want to genuinely 1 to1 with her then each sentence, take a breath and calm down
