I understand depression. If you can’t go to the doctor right now, you have a few natural options and you can do them together everyday,
Eat a banana everyday.
Take the amino acid suppliment “L-Tyrosine” ..as directed on the bottle. You get it at a health food store.
Exercise at least 30 minutes everyday. Get your heart rate up!
Get plenty of rest…you need about 8 or 9 hours a night.
If you do all of these and it doesn’t help…you need a doctor.
You can also eat a healthy diet of veggies, fruit and lean protein.
Hope you get better!

I think that you need to tell your parents about it becuase it could get worse. If your parents bring you to the doctor’s you can get medication for it and you feel better. The only reason I know that is because I have a friend that was depressed and when she got medication she was a more happier person.
