I know this probably sounds stupid but I think I might be depressed.

I have lost interest in pretty much everything, including things I previously loved, like art and writing, stage makeup etc.

I'm perpetually exhausted, though I try to cover it with an extreme, hyper, sarcastic persona. I literally can't get through a 'day' longer than 4 hours without being ready to drop at the end.

I am right at the start of my GCSEs (I don't know the American equivilant, sorry), so this is a crucial time, and with my lack of interest and motivation, I'm 'scared' that I'm gonna flub these up.

Another problem is that if I am depressed. I don't know know to tell my mum, cause me being a teenager makes her think that this is just one of those mood swings, but it's been going on for over 6 months, since the end of August, start of September.

So how can I convince her to let me see a doctor about this? Since that's the only way it can be 'truly diagnosed' if I am infact depressed.

Thank you in advance c: (and sorry if this makes no sense, as per usual I am fucking exhausted.)

i know how you feel and i've been in almost this exact situation.
in my opinion i wouldnt go to the doctor but only because they'll just give you meds to try and "fix" you and those always just make you feel numb and sometimes even worse.

but some things you can do to try and alleviate the feeling are
-keep a journal/draw, i dont know why but it works for a lot of people to write things out, trust me
-you get exhausted easily so it shouldnt be to hard, get plenty of sleep
-meditate, that sounds stupid but really all you have to do is get comfortable and try to relax for 10+ minutes and it really helps

its not just teen hormones when you feel depressed but it will get better when you grow out of your teen years, just because when you are a teenager you feel everything more intensely, depression included.
