Hello & Welcome, Dynalorene.

Yes, when a person is subjected to an assortment of stresses over a period of time, depression can creep in and take root. Now you struggle with all the other stresses and the depression.

I'm sorry your family is not supportive. Your mother may think she's being supportive by berating and humiliating you. She may have been socialized to see your "failure" as her own or the family's.

Is there anyone at your school, someone you trust and respect to whom you could take what you've written here?

Please make yourself at home, Dynalorene
