Thanks for your replies already!

I guess maybe I should go to the school counselor, but I feel like he's just going to say make a decent planning and just study. I told my mom today that I just can't concentrate anymore and she was like just tell yourself to start studying and just try your best and take breaks every now and again. I feel like she just really doesn't get the fact that I can barely even start studying. So that wasn't very helpful.
I also got some medication prescribed to try and get rid of the hirsutism which can also get you down a bit. So maybe that's also part of it. But I'm scared that if I stop them, that the hirsutism will get worse again which will make me feel terrible anyway, so it's like trading one bad thing for another Also my dad and grandma sometimes say things which make me think that they're also not the happiest people on the planet, although they're not really depressed or anything I guess. But I know that if there's depression in the family that you have a higher risk to get is as well. So I'm scared that maybe that's another possible reason: that we all just have some light form of depression or something.
But all in all I find it really embarrassing and awkward to talk about this to someone. I can't even say all of this to my mom, let alone to some counselor or professional...Also my grandpa has cancer and my uncle is struggling with some things as well, so I feel like my problems are not bad enough to start complaining about it or to say "I don't really feel the best these days" because it's nothing compared to them. I mean I go to uni and have a great family and everything so there's nothing I can complain about. Compared to them it would just seem like I'm wallowing in self pity for nothing.

To answer your question bebogirl16, I have looked for support groups online but honestly there's barely anything out there in terms of forums or something...I also don't know anyone who has this, so it kind of makes you feel lonely and that no one cares.
