Failed everything from then on. Everyone I know is at college while I can hardly leave the house.. Though I want to so much. I have a lot I want to do, just no motivation and I'm scared.
I find it hard to talk about certain things, though sometimes things like 'What are you doing tomorrow then?' will instantly make me feel horrible and I cut the person off. As much as I wanna talk about things I can't because the words just don't come out. Cry almost every night and feel so horrible, my mind is everywhere. Every day just gets worse and I hate how much I've let my mum down. She sounds so disappointed in me, but I don't blame her. I'm a waste of space, a mess.
I hate myself for being like this. I just want to make my mum proud of me.

You are not a waste of space.
It can be so frustrating to try and answer someone's question when you're down, knowing your honest answer may cause them to feel a negative emotion. It's a no-win situation. It is not your fault, though, please don't judge yourself or beat yourself up right now. Talk here if you need to and keep reaching out.
The relationship with mom in particular can be tough during depression, I've found in my experience. You're not alone.
