Depression is wrecking my confidence, grades, team

I've been so depressed lately. I guess it's because I feel like I don't have any friends.
I've been comfort eating and gaining on weight. My grades are going down the drain because I just can't concentrate. I've been skipping volleyball practice and games to just advoid people. I don't know what's going on with me and I don't know what to do. I just really want to give up on everything. I'm strongly considering quitting volleyball tomorrow.. but I know that will be a bad choice but there's no point of being on the team if I am not even going half the time.

I completely understand. I've also undergone this sudden lack of will to do anything.
I would suggest you stick with volleyball, firstly because it's an amazing sport and secondly because exercise is really good for the mentality of the depressed. That little kick of adrenaline can actually motivate you to start doing things again. I don't know what the problem is but I've seen it happen to almost everyone. We all stopped caring. Perhaps it's because, by the way things are looking, the world is in this black downwards gyre. We're bound to fail, it seems. But, whatever the case, it's so important that we find a reason to live And to live with vigor. I think it's because we're all so hooked on the idea of the future We think, 'the world is going to end' or 'I am never going to graduate High school' or 'my folks are never going to appreciate me for who I am' But perhaps it's time we all start living in the NOW and start living for no one but ourselves. It's time we stop worrying about our weight or or grades or our evident demise that is sure to come. I am pounding down homework right now for the first time in months And, really, it feels good to LEARN. I forgot how wonderful it is to know that this is great for the RIGHT NOW. Sure, I might fail a test this week, but this information feels good to know right now. As long as you try your best for what it is you love to do I am working on the exact same problem right now I can't find a reason to even continue living. But our generation is going to experience some incredible things. And the only way to LIVE is to want to live and want to live well. 'Go big or go home' I think the saying is. And 'big' is subjective for all of us. I hope everything works out for you. What position do you play in volleyball?

its not a good thing to push everyone out. im sorry that i cant help with *u should try*'s or *this can help*'s, but i can tell u that there r many things in life u'll miss out on if u give up now. i guess u should try figuring out what exactly ur running from. try talking to ur friends and tell them ur confused. they're sure to listen and help u pull through.
