By posting here you are taking a brave step towards taking control of how you feel and getting better. You are not alone. What you are describing sounds very normal and beyond just dreading another school year.

Talk, talk and then talk some more. Explain to your mother that you don’t want to be depressed (or anxious, stressed, etc whatever word she accepts best) but that you need help. She is your mother and loves you and will want to help. Seek out someone you can share your thoughts with and discuss behaviors that will help. Almost every school and community has resources available.

Again you are brave to recognize that how you are feeling is negatively impacting you. You are even more courageous by saying something here. Go a small step further and get someone in person to talk to.

As far as college I will go cliche and say it will work out. I swear it always does!

Good luck
