Tiredness can make us depressed, and depression can make us tired.
On those rare times when I feel down, I usually make myself get up and take a walk, exercise or take a nap.
If you are feeling this way for week after week, it would make sense to go to clinic for a professional's insight.

Are you ill or getting over an illness? This could explain why you are tired and depressed. Alternatively you may be suffering from lack of oxygen which will cause both those symtoms as well. As has been suggested take a shower or bath to refresh you a bit and (after getting dressed of course) take a short stroll to see if you feel a bit more motivated. If you feel better great, if not you many just be tired and need some rest. If the symptoms continue or have continued more than a few days go and see your doctor.

Be happy...chances are things aren't as bad as they seem. Be thankful you are alive and that god's beautiful earth is a joy to be on. Be thankful you were born in a country that has so much to offer you. You sound like you are a teenager, guess what, if so I had a rough spell or two when I was a teenager. Life isn't that bad, really. If you are having problems with friends at school, remember this...in ten years time you probably won't be around them anyway. Your world will change greatly once you leave High School. Trust me. It's how you persevere and go on that counts. Don't ever let anyone else have that control over you, they aren't worth it! Time to make new friends, time to get busy doing new things. There is so much out there to choose from. If it is family related, get out of the house, join a club, get a job, get busy. It'll help you not being around the situation all the time. Good luck!

Depressive disorders make one feel exhausted, worthless, helpless, and hopeless. Such negative thoughts and feelings make some people feel like giving up. It is important to realize that these negative views are part of the depression and typically do not accurately reflect the actual circumstances. Negative thinking fades as treatment begins to take effect.
Set realistic goals in light of the depression and assume a reasonable amount of responsibility. Break large tasks into small ones, set some priorities, and do what you can as you can.
Try to be with other people and to confide in someone; it is usually better than being alone and secretive. Participate in activities that may make you feel better. Mild exercise, going to a movie, a ballgame, or participating in religious, social, or other activities may help. Expect your mood to improve gradually, not immediately. Feeling better takes time. It is advisable to postpone important decisions until the depression has lifted. Before deciding to make a significant transition change jobs, get married or divorced discuss it with others who know you well and have a more objective view of your situation. People rarely "snap out of" a depression. But they can feel a little better day-by-day. Remember, positive thinking will replace the negative thinking that is part of the depression and will disappear as your depression responds to treatment. Let your family and friends help you.

See a doctor. Really. Depression is a serious medical condition. There a lot of real, valid treatments for it despite how "dangerous" television may make it sound. Just ignore all that "chin up" or "get some sleep and take a shower" nonsense.
If you are clinically depressed you have a chemical imbalance and all the positive thinking in the world will not help you. The treatment won't help you overnight, but listen to your doctor and take his advice.
Good luck.

You really do not give enough information to be able to suggest anything more than general ideas to you. Depression comes from focusing too much inwardly on ourselves, our wants, unfulfilled desires, our problems, our faults, our situations. Get enough sleep, eat a balanced diet, go to the hairdresser, and then get up, get out and try focusing on others, help others. If you stop to put it into perspective, you are probably better off than most of the people around you. Simplify your expectations. Be happy with the little things---a child's smile, a puppy wagging its tail, a sunny day, a good song. The most important thing is to develop a relationship with Jesus, if you do not have one. Remember that the Bible says that only God gives the peace that passes understanding. God bless you.

Don't listen to those who tell you to buck yourself up, or to get out and see your friends. It's not really that easy, is it? People who don't get depressed dont understand that that kind of advice can actually make you worse!
The most important thing to remember when you feel really low, is that 'this will pass'. It always has done, and it always will. It might not feel like it right now, but you know that if you just wait it out, then you will feel better again soon. That's what happens - when things are bad, things always get better again. So just be patient, and keep telling yourself - this will pass.
When you feel better, when you feel strong; that's the time to ask yourself why you felt that way, and to think about what helped - maybe make a note so you can easily remember if you ever feel that way again, so it'll be even easier to feel better.

Sounds like you need a good dose of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). If you have underlying depressive tendencies, you may struggle with it your whole life. I have depression but went off medication over 6 yrs ago by studying CBT.
Don't give in to how you feel - challenge it and ask yourself is this valid? The brain is very powerful and when sick, can mess you up. I was off work full time for 8 months and tonnes of med's and different forms of therapies - nothing worked until I stumbled across CBT.
Remember... what you think is what you feel - literally.

The answer is dependent on your situation, age, etc.
++You may have a virus - Answer, go to the doctors
++You could just be young (teens) growing up which will make your tired, confused, depressed, etc. - Again go to the Doctors, who will check your general state of health
++You may be stressed - What's making you stressed and try to resolve. Could be that you just need a holiday, get yourself fit, build your confidence, get out of the situation that is making you stressed.
++Could be a chemical imbalance - Get a blood check
The best option is to seek professional medical help to ensure there is no serious underlining health problem. If no problems detected, suggest look at your life style:
- Get fit
- Eat Healthy food
- Develop your spirituality
- Develop good relationships
- Re-programme your mind to eliminate negativity
- Gain meaning in your life. Help others, set goals, don't chase the material things in life.

If you are really so tired, get a good eight hour sleep and that should refresh your body and your mind enough to make the effort to look properly dressed and go out. But if these feelings persist and you cannot collect yourself enough to subdue them with your own will power and following a healthy routine, perhaps its time to consult a psychiatrist and get your depression treated.
