I'm diagnosed with anxiety and depression from my counselor. I'm stuck. And I hate my life everything is going wrong and I just give up.... Help?!!? What do I do?
I've tried everything no one in my family likes my presence I have no friends. Got kicked out of Girl Scouts cuz I'm different and quiet. And didn't make the soccer team after 5 consecutive years of making it. And playing for 13 years. And being picked on at youth group. Teachers at school make fun of me cuz im shy... My life is awful. I can't do anything right. I suffer everyday and night crying and trying not to show how much it hurts in public cuz I don't wanna be made fun of even more. Why is my life so awful.
Update:I can't my dad doesn't live with me. I don't even know where he lives actually....
And my mom doesn't care bout me she won't listen to me. When My counselor told her that I had depression and anxiety she didn't think anything of it. When my counselor explained that it is a mental illness she laughed and said "its not its just stupid teenage emotions and thoughts. She's just stupid. No big deal"

You need support, and your mom's not giving it to you. It doesn't matter why, she's just not.
You need to identify an adult in your life that you can ask to help you get more help. If not the counselor, then think of your most caring teacher, your pastor, your doctor, your neighbor, an aunt or uncle.
I would also try to find an activity that would help you feel better. I used to volunteer for Meals on Wheels, then I did visits to a senior center. It doesn't feel like you're doing much, but you are. And that might be a huge thing for you to experience: that you are important, and people need you.
I would also check with the counselor, or online, to see if there are any anxiety or depression groups. Then go to one. They are often in the early evenings, and sponsored by a local hospital or health group, and free.
I had a similar childhood, I get it.
Geez what is wrong with those people? call teen crisis hotline, 911, anything, I'm sorry to hear this I can relate a little, don't do anything stupid please, you're a one and only and don't take your life away like you're nothing, because you are something, you have one life make the most of it.
Talk to your folks. Immediately ! Tell them you need to be committed to psychosocial evaluation and care . If they Wong listen call 911 and tell them. Do anything within the law to get the help you need.
Please know that you do not need to fear being made fun of. Being made fun of is not fun, but please understand that your important. You are loved! Although pain exists on earth, trials are temporary. Pain on earth does not last forever. Please have hope.
If I could recommend something, I'd say to pray and meditate. God loves you and He hears when people pray to Him. Please have hope and know that things will be ok.
Warm regards and peace to you!
