I'm so depressed, I've given up on life, nothing excites me anymore. What should I do?

I think the most important thing you can do is to express these feelings to someone close to you and to talk to a professional. your recovery begins with you

its okay to admit you need help, I think you should find someone to talk to, a close friend, parent or other family member, maybe a trusted teacher, or a school counsellor ?

It's good if you could set near future goals that you can achieve it and work towards achieving it. You can start with near future goals then work towards far future goals.

Start small. Feeling this low can be so crushing and can feel like you're at the bottom of a pit looking up to see how hopeless and far the surface looks. Everyone is different and your pain is unique to you. The most important thing to remember is that you matter. Start with baby steps, after feeling so low for so long you may have to manually restart a few things to get things in motion for yourself. Start with reaching out to someone you trust, talking connecting getting it off your shoulders. It may take a while to get back to feeling things that you describe as "exciting" but to gauge your progress with being little better than yesterday. Depression and healing can be a journey but it starts with asking for help and really believing in yourself enough to put yourself first.

Its hard to say what to do because depression can be a little bit different for everyone, but seeking professional/ medical and or mental health help might be a good way to start working on getting on a road to better managing your depression.
