My mother is a narcissist and unless it benefits her or her self image in some way, it doesn't matter. She only loves herself and only cares if it directly effects her. As long as we look like "One happy family" from the outside, she doesn't care.I am sad to see you suffering so much. It's important that you understand that depression is a liar. Your mind can convince you that things won't ever get better and that's very discouraging. But having a feeling that you are xyz does not make it true. And you can ask yourself if it's true or if your thinking is distorted due to other things. As far as support it's important that you go to people capable of giving you the support you need. I'm sure your mom loves you but it doesn't mean that she can support you. And you are dealing with a lot of things she may simply not have any frame of reference about.
Please keep reaching out to your psychiatrist and consider some behavior therapy. They work best together. The medicine helps you feel stable and then a good clinician can help you develop the tools to give yourself the support and comfort you deserve.
