Depression about a job

Hello. I am a 16 year old boy and I feel sad all the time. I may have a mild Depression problem. But that isn’t what the problem is about. I am taking classes to become an Automotive Technician. I just got my very first job at the local Lube shop. The job seems easy and my first day is tomorrow. When he told me I got the job I made a fake face of excitement, but then when I got to my truck I was really sad. When I got home my parents got mad at me for being “underwhelmed” about this. I know I should be happy and excited, but all I feel is severe anxiety and sadness, as well as an unwillingness to perform my job and a feeling of “I can’t do this job”. I want to tell my parents about it but I am afraid they will get even madder because we can’t afford medication or a therapist. I’m not sure about how I can ask or what to do myself to pick me back up. Thanks.

Talking to your parents is definetly hard. Here’s what I would do: I would talk to my mom(only because I am closer with her) about the job and the depression. You’re 16 and a lot of things can be stressful. Heckk, I’m 13 and I am reeeallly stressed out. But the point I’m trying to make is that there is always help. YOu can get on a medication to help depression. Just remeber talking to ANYONE can always make you feel better. Your friends,family,peers,teachers,even your pet lol. Just someone to get your feelings out to. Hope I helped(:
