What I can tell is that you need to see a PSYCHIATRIST, not a psychologist or a counselor. Your symptoms are bad enough that they are affecting your life, causing thoughts of death and suicide, and making you pretend to be something you're not (calm) so you don't worry others. You most likely have a medical condition which can be eased with the help of a good psychiatrist.
Don't be afraid to see a psychiatrist. Our thoughts and emotions are affected by the physical problems in our brains. The only people who can be sure they will never need help are those without thoughts or emotions. Why should you suffer like this? Tell your mom you need to see a doctor immediately and either see or get a referral to a psychiatrist. They are medical doctors and they are kind, helpful people, not people who want to judge you, lock you up, drug you, or make your life more difficult.
