I don’t want to go to school anymore

For the past 3ish years I’ve been suffering through what feels like depression. I’ve never been officially diagnosed, as the one person I told in real life was my guidance Councillor at school, and well, she didn’t believe me. That was 3 years ago.

It all came to a head on Friday when I had a bit of a mental breakdown and snapped at my mother in the morning before leaving for school. I just feel so depressed that I don’t even want to go to school any more, and I’ve felt that for some months now. I feel it just adds to the issue because of the extra stress from my classes. I’m fed up with getting up at 5 in the morning and getting home at 3 in the afternoon, but not being able to have any time to myself because I have 4 hours of homework, but I’m completely tired out, and I stay up trying to get myself to start my homework but I can’t even manage that.

I’m just completely lost and scared and lonely.

First of all, I think you should talk to someone about it. Carrying it around will only make things worse. Get a diagnose, or understand just how much or little your "depression" is if you are having one. There are many symptoms, including lack of appetite, sadness etc. Knowing what's going on makes it easier to help you.

As for school, maybe you can ask them for extension on your tasks or something, or even look into the possibility of studying at home if you think that would be an option.

But more importantly, focus on yourself, getting better. Take some time off, make a plan for tackling homework tasks, doing little everyday, a good sleep schedule, nobody functions properly with to little sleep, as well as keeping a good diet and drink a lot of water. And also, find time to do something you enjoy, wether that would be listening to music or whatever you feel like doing.

Feel free to not take my advice cause it probably won't be very good but here I go anyway, what I feel would be best for you is to tell someone who you are close to and trust about how you feel so you aren't so alone, even if you talk to someone on here just to let it out and so you have someone to help you through this. You are not alone :) :)

I would suggest take a week off. Clear your head. Maybe travel somewhere,live life and be happy. You will come back renewed. You could also meditate and give yourself some alone time. Doesnt matter if that costs you an assignment or two. Will be better in the long run. I understand that confiding in your school councillor and her denial affected you. But it would be best if you confided in someone you are close to. Or you could just talk with someone online. thats what we all are here for. You will pull through. Dont worry. :-)
