this is very unfortunate that you have to deal with this stress. This is probably giving you anxiety as well bc you maybe scared to walk in on her at times, bc you dont know what you'll see. The best advice that i can give you is to be strong and stay hopeful. My dad was depressed and i suspected that he wanted to end his life as well. He never straight out, said it, but he would hint around, and of course i caught on. All i could do was be strong for myself and stay hopeful. There were many days and nights that i was afraid that i would come home from work and find him dead or that i would all of a sudden hear a gunshot in he house. It was frightening, but eventually things started looking up for him, and the depression left...after 2 years.
There's really nothing that you can do to help her, because if she is determined t take her own life, then there nothing that no one can do to stop her. Again, just stay hopeful, and help her in anyway possible. If your religious, just look to God

She needs to go to AA Alcoholics Anonynous or to rehab of some sort. There's no other way, she has to stop drinking since it makes her feel even worse. So please tell her you care for her and things will get better once she's off the alcohol.
There are some more things she can do to beat her depression without depending on alcohol. Here they are
1. Eat healthy - eat organic food, especially a lot of fruits and other foods listed at whfoods.com
2. Drink plenty of water, around 10 glasses
3. Get close to nature - Spend at least an hour in nature everyday and enjoy it
4. Focus on what you want - watch "The Secret" on youtube
5. Help others when you can - good karma
6. Get pets
7. Plan your career, learn about depression and your finances - read the books How to lift depression... fast and how to master anxiety by joe griffin and ivan tyrell, Rich Dad, Poor Dad and 7 Habits of Highly Effective teens/people, Think and Grow Rich
8. Consider getting romantically involved with a person of your choice and make more friends
9. Sleep with the windows open for maximum fresh air
10. Let go of all anxiety before sleeping and just relax. Keep a journal or tell someone like your parents or even me what is bothering you, don't keep anything inside you, let it all out to feel emotionally free.
Hope that helps. Feel free to email me by clicking on my name and then email. Do all those things and you will be fine. Don't worry. Do not hesitate to email me from my profile for any more help.

She needs professional help. Get her to see a psychiatrist ASAP. When somone says they want to hurt some one or themselves its serious. If she has a plan on how . That's suicidal ideation and she needs help right away. You should not have deal with this at such a young age but I know you love your mom. So get her help. Look in the yellow pages for a suicide hotline or mental health clinic.

I'm sorry love, this isn't something that you should even have to think about.
nobody can stop someone else from drinking.
call a suicide hotline the next time your mom talks about killing herself. they will help her.
good luck, I wish you & your mom the best.

Her life is important. If anyone cares about its God, you and me. If she wants a new beginning tell her that Jesus died for her sins and to believe in Him for that. All she needs to do is call on his name and believe. When, that happens expect a change, because its not about religion, but relationship. God loves and values her, so do I.
