I have no energy,& I can't really do much. I'm not motivated in school at all, I have no interested in school anymore. My grades are dropping,& my parents & teachers are wondering why I'm doing so bad.

I can't have fun, noting is really enjoyable to me. It sucks, I can't ever have fun ,& that I don't enjoy many things. I even noticed I'm losing interested in my passion which dogs.

The suicidal thoughts are everyday,& now there just a normal part of my thoughts. I'm really starting to enjoy the thoughts,& think of it as solution to my problems. I really fantize a lot with suicide. I contemplated when I get really low,& at times, have highly considered going through with it.
I am not a psychiatrist and I cannot diagnose you but I can tell you those are all the exact same symptoms I get when I am in a severe depression.

No energy
No motivation
Only want to sleep
No interest in things I am normally interested in
Can't concentrate on things
Screwed up sleep patterns
Changes in appetite
Feeling worthless
Suicidal thoughts
Not living up to peoples expectations and major shame about it.
Can't make it to work
Performance at work goes way down hill.
Totally isolating
Don't want anyone bothering me....leave me alone
Ashamed to reach out for help
etc

Those are all the symptoms I get when in a severe depression and more.
