What diagnosis', or suspected diagnosis' do you have? How old are you? Are you in the United States? If so - you might want to call around for adult social services type outfits. I don't know what your relationship with your mother is like - but even if this is the only problem, denial of needed medical care is considered abuse. If your inability to get treatment (by not being able to see a dr) is aggravating a disabling mental health condition (depression, bipolar, etc) - then being denied medical care is horribly abusive. There are probably County agencies that might help you.If your arm had been cut off and your mom refused to get you to a doctor and you bled to death - your mom would be put in jail. Mental health conditions deserve just as much protection.
Please call some County social service agencies. Even if you call one that can't help - they will likely be able to tell you where to call. You can probably google it and find a good starting place.
