For those that wanted to know...

I did end up texting my coach...Here's what I said, word for word...

"I guess I just haven't felt like myself lately..I don't have much focus or interest..it takes me longer to do my homework, when I feel like doing it. I still do all of it. I just don't really ever want to..it's like I care about my grades but I don't want to do anything to keep them up...I have a lot less energy too. I go home and just want to sleep and forget about anything else. I get irritated and upset sometimes too, and it's not just with my mom...it's with everyone and everything. My mom, my dad, sometimes my friends, homework...and I don't get it. I've never been like this before...it's getting to the point where I don't even want to practice...I want basketball and softball to get over with as soon as possible. That's not me...Softball is like my life, and now I really don't care all that much if I go or not..some days I would just rather skip it...that's not me...it isn't like this every day, but they kind of come in waves. It's like this for a few then it's okay for a few...but a month or so ago they rarely happened...I don't know why they are happening more now...the mornings tend to be okay but the afternoon and nights are the worst, including school and practices. A lot of stupid stuff that shouldn't matter makes me upset...I don't even know why I let it get to me. I'm not sure what is going on right now or what I should do or where to go...I guess I thought this was a start...and I'm sorry for putting it off..Sometimes I just have an issue with telling someone and admitting I have a problem that I need help with...I would rather solve it on my own, but I don't know if I can with this one"

She ended up asking me a variety of questions...and finally she asked me if I was depressed or anything...if I should go see a doctor or something...and well, she basically gave me two options:go to the school counselor or go see my doctor...and she even offered to go with me...I'm not quite sure what I am going to do yet...I am going to go and see her in person sometime soon though, and hopefully I will get more comfortable with talking in person then. Even though I trust her 100%, it is still hard for me to talk to anyone in person about my feelings. And I think my next step will be finding the courage within myself to ask for help from the school counselor.

I will try to keep everyone updated if you still want me to give updates...

Thanks for reading.
