Anxiety-depression help

[ThatMattPattKid]

So I had my GCSEs in June, which I got really worked up about, like to the point of sleeping about 2 hours a night with worry, but I thought nothing of it and that it would pass with my exams. I did well enough in them but I found that after them I became hyper-sensitive to worry (granted some really big family stuff was happening, I was starting to think about unis etc) but even over silly things like what I was wearing and how I acted around people. This has gone on for about 5 months now and the amount of worry I had was getting me really depressed. I've lost interest in school and can't concentrate, I don't want to go out or talk to anyone, I've lost my appetite and self-esteem, I just want to shut myself in my room and think, and my mind always wanders to questioning what the point of me carrying on is and considering suicide. I saw a doctor about it and he thinks it's something called an anxiety depression disorder and has contacted a therapist, but I just wondered if there was anyone who could give me any advice about it all, I'm really struggling to cope.

If it helps, then chronic depression is in my family history and I've tried most of the advice online (exercise, meditation, relaxation, generally trying to be positive) but nothing seems to help. The doctor thinks I should tell everyone at school so they know what's up but I'm reluctant to because I'm ashamed of it.

Ive had depresson almost throughout my whole life, but its nice talking to someone. Ask your family what you should do maybe since depression runs in the family, and If you need to talk you can VM me if it feels too uncomfortable to talk to people irl still. I hope you feel better soon.
