How do I tell my mum I'm relapsing into depression?

Question

She knows I've been depressed before, she took me to the doctors and I got referred to CAMHS but she didn't know the severity of it. It's a lot worse than it was before, suicidal thoughts are almost always there. I don't find easy telling her stuff but I feel like I need to because I need help and I don't know what to do. I get really scared opening up to her, it's very awkward but as I said she needs to know. I wondered what the best possible way to tell her is?

. · Accepted Answer

just open up to her I know its hard but listen she loves you and would be devastated to lose you don't give up on your life there's people out there dying and suffering and they don't give up neither should you do things you enjoy try spending time with your mom maybe both of you go to therapy together? don't kill yourself think of the people who would miss you here are some suicide hotlines to call if you need them
