If you see a doctor for a physical checkup once yearly, you can talk to your doctor about it and he or she should help. Even though you don't like to open up to people, explain to your doctor how you have been feeling and maybe ask them to talk to your mom.
If you don't go to a doctor for checkups or you don't want to wait that long, talk to another adult or authority figure in your life that you trust not to blow you off. Maybe there is a teacher, another relative, an older sibling, or some other person. Explain your situation and get them to talk to your mom. She may listen to an adult when she would not listen to you.
You really need to get your mom to understand before you can get treatment. If you're 17, she's still paying the bills, so she needs to understand that treatment is necessary. Get her to understand that this is a real problem and not some teenage phase.

If you go to school, talk to a school counselor. They'll set you up with an outside therapist if you need it, and will take care of everything for you.
If you don't go to school, your normal physician can connect you with a psychiatrist. This will usually be covered under your insurance. Good luck!

Try looking for a clinic in your area. Also google the type and see what causes you disoder and some sites might have treatments you can do by yourself.
