Please help

It seems as though I have 1 or 2 really bad days every week. My life usually sucks in general but, those couple of days every week are the worst of all. Honestly, I can't take it anymore... I'm constantly feeling depressed and anxious about everything. I've never been calm and relaxed in my life. It's starting to take a toll on me, not only mentally but also physically. I've attempted suicide before and, as you can see, it was unsuccessful...

Well, there really isn't much anybody can do with such limited information. But I'd say, you need someway to occupy yourself, find something that makes you happy. Get out of the house, go to a friends.

it sounds like you have clinical depression which needs to be medically treated

Did you ever get any professional help? It seems that you really need it from what you say. Otherwise try to occupy your mind with pleasant things and find ways to relax, I know how hard this can be, believe me but till you get some professional help it's the only thing you can do.

I can't get professional help. My mother doesn't want me to. She doesn't want me to be anything less than perfect and that isn't what she calls perfect.

Um, your mom wants perfection? That's probably one main factor that causes your anxiety and depression...I'm no professional of course and can't diagnose you but that's what my therapist told me once. But see, nobody can always be perfect and your. mom must see that, too...you said you attempted suicide...what happened then? how did yor family react....should you have had therapy then? I thought they force you after a suicide attempt...at least where I live.

to make it short, even if your mom doesn't approve...you need to seek help...your profile states that you are already 17, so I guess you can take your life in your own hands whether or not your mom likes it.
