Yes, you sound depressed... but please try counseling before you try the pills. It really helps to talk to someone about things (that isn't family or friend becuase they are biased).
Anti-depressants can mess around with you, so try thr counseling - give it time. Your counselor and doctor will know after this time if you need the anti-depressants.
The pills can help in severe cases... but they really can mess around with you if they aren't the right type (there's no way to tell except testing how you react to different ones)
Keep in mind it will take a while before you notice you feel any different.
Note: anti-depressants are often a band-aid solution and you're better off trying to talk about it as soon as possible. They do help in cases of desperation and suicidal thoughts though.

Dont get on anti depressants thats a bad idea
Ask for a counselor not a psych there is a difference you might just need some helpul advice, you should really do some exercise even if you just go for a walk

Not everyone has to be surrounded by friends all the time. As long as you are fairly happy with school and home, then you are probably fine. Some people like to be on their own, not having to always be interacting with friends all the time. I think you are fine. But try to get out with your friends at least sometimes so they don't think that you don't like them and then they drop you as a friend. Try to balance it out.

sounds like you are just depressed. if your mom own't take you to a dr, try talking to a counselor at school. some schools do offer counseling and referrals for those kinds of issues. don't let it make you more depressed. at least you know there is a problem and you want to get better. good luck to you.

its not just a teenage thing it happens sometimes to adults too but depression pills i dont think you need them becos you'll soon get over it with time but you do not really have to isolate yourself from your friends they could be good company sometimes maybe your just not used to your new enviroment yet. take your time to study the kinds of people that wont bore you how long will you stare at the tv you'll soon get bored

Sweetie, I think you ARE depressed or maybe you have a medical issue that is zapping your energy. See your doc, ok?
