Carrying things that make you most comfortable with you while you go out are things that I've found the most helpful, if it's something you can't carry because of size or weight, you can snap a picture and save it as your home screen on your phone, so whenever you go on your phone to distract yourself, the warming image is there to greet you!

Try seeing a therapist for help or a doctor for medication. At home, you can also do some mindfulness meditation (you can find this on YouTube or download an app called Calm), or do any activity that relaxes you such as exercise, listening to music, venting to a friend, etc

It's not easy. I say it a lot, but the best thing to do is take it one day at a time, and make sure you have the time you need to care for yourself.

Take up a new hobby! It may not seem like much, but having something to care for and to be excited about can really help low mood.

Its just another phase of life. Time heals everything. Keep distracting yourself from thoughts that will make you sad. Do what you like most. :)

One of the best ways I know of is talking to a trustworthy adult, your parents or some friends about how you're feeling, talking things out can often lead to things getting better in your life because you will feel more supported

You are fine. There are a bunch of things you can do. Have you tried writing down your feelings, thought by thought? Try that. Also, 7 Cups has nice Meditation-type exercises, especially for Anxiety, too: http://www.7cups.com/exercises/mindfulness/?showlist=1 Check out the "Anxiety," and "Uncategorized" sections.

Sometimes we can't do everything on our own. Sometimes we have to rely on something bigger than ourselves to help us "change" or "transform". Not everything can be fixed by waving a magic wand. Some things take time and work. The Buddhists call it "effortless effort". This is the practice of meditation, and it is both relying on a "higher power" to mend your broken bones, while at the same time driving towards your goals.
