For a while now, i have been feeling incredibly down and every day is becoming a real battle to fall asleep, and to get out of bed in the morning. I lose my appetite when i get so upset, and i just want to be left alone to cry.

I have no interest in anything anymore, i dont want to go to school and see my friends even though i am usually academic, and i have got my first ‘u’ in a test because i am so unmotivated, tired and sad to revise or try in lessons, and im not lazy either

I haven’t talked to anyone about how i feel, because i feel like no one understands or has the time for me, and i feel like a constant burden for people. I try to tell myself this feeling will pass, but i feel like im sinking and im starting to realise it might be more than just sadness or heartbreak or loneliness, but am still struggling to come to terms with the fact i might have depression amd still tell myself its just sadness itll pass, but for months its lingered.

I dont know how to stop myself crying and constantly torturing myself day after day, and the loneliness and doesn’t help. Nothing i do seems to make me happy anymore.

I am really unsure as to where to turn..Am i depressed, and if i am, how do i try to make myself feel happier...😒
