What should I do?

Okay so I'm not diagnosed with depression because I've never been at the doctor. I have like all the symptoms and I tried to kill myself 3 times. I live in Poland and here you have to be 18 to visit a psychiatrist by yourself, otherwise you have to go with your parent. My mum thinks I'm just lazy and selfish and this is not an ilness, so I don't need any doctors. I don't think I can take this any longer, I'll be 18 in a few months but it can be too late. What to do?

Tell your mom you need to see a doctor that something isn't right maybe she'll listen then

If your mom wont listen to you, reach out to somebody else who will! My dad is the same way, doesnt believe in mental illness and taking medications, he thinks its just another way for drug companies to make more money.
Your mom doesnt understand, or maybe she is just in denial that you might habe something like this going on. It can be hard on parents watching there child struggle. Maybe she thinks telling you things like your just being lazy and selfis will make you snap out of it.
If you cant go to a psychiatrist yourself, then try to find another family member that might believe you and help you out.
Good luck!!!
