I need mental help!
16/f
when something bad happens, i dont just get over it, i really stay mad for atleast an hour or longer. i'll end up taking my anger out on someone not physically just verbally. or sometimes i'll just shut off my phone and not answer any calls or texts, even from my boyfriend, even if HE wasnt the one that pissed me off. i heard about serax and prozac. my mom deffinitly would not let me take those from the doctor she believes in holding your breath and i cant do it. my other optiion is xanax and im young obviously i know i can get this without a percription. helppppp?

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you may have received and may continue to receive from others.
The medications you wrote about are primarily used for depression and anxiety. What you have, based on your writing is anger issues; an entirely different subject.
Because of your age I see your mothers’ position on this as one of a phase young women go through because of the hormonal changes they are going through. Put another way, your mom sees this as a phase you will grow out of. Why? You are not alone in how you are handling anger issues; at your age you just may be being a typical teenager. The operative words here are may be.
First things first: DO NOT TAKE ANY PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU BY A DOCTOR. You will be doing yourself more harm than good. Antidepressants are not recommended for persons under 18 for good reason. When they are dispensed they need to be done by a qualified physician and the person need to be medically monitored for side effects.
Now as Snarky recommended you need to sit down with your mother and tell her how you REALLY feel. Tell her you do not like feeling this way, yelling at people for no reason, turning the world off for no reason and anything else you think she should know. Then tell her you feel you need to speak with the family doctor, if for no other reason than to assure yourself than to assure yourself that this is normal. Taking this stance with mom may bring her around to agreeing to taking you to see the doctor. Your saying in essence; Mom you may be right that there is nothing wrong with me but can I please hear it from the doctor so I feel better about it.
Once you see the doctor you will have your answer make sure to tell the doctor about your anger issues and ask to see the doctor in private, you are old enough now to ask for privacy. If you are right mom will most likely follow the doctors advise; try to reframe from saying I told you so. If mom is right and the doctor finds nothing wrong, Try and tell you mother your sorry for being so insistent but that you needed to hear this from the doctor. I say this for whatever the outcome giving mom the respect she is due will give you a great deal of respect from mom in handling this in an adult manner.

From what you've stated, you've never been psychologically evaluated. Therefore, those "options" you've just mentioned are not options until a doctor makes you a prescription for them.
Do not take any medication you haven't been given to by a doctor. Ever. It could result in many complications to your health, even death.
You need to sit down with your mother and discuss what you're feeling. Inform her that you'd like to see a doctor to make sure everything's okay with you.
None of us here can offer you a mental diagnosis.
