Answer #1

Depression is a medical condition.

To me: you sound like a teenager…which is normal :)

But, to a doctor, they can actually give you a solid medical opinion, based on lots of science, research and knowledge…

none of us, here, based on reading one paragraph is capable of giving you a proper diagnosis.

Answer #2

Sorry, he’s right. Cant diagnose depression off a paragraph. It takes several hours to do that and several sessions. However, yes those are many of the warning signs,

anhedonia (loss of pleasure in previously enjoyable activities) sadness/crying somatic symptoms (backaches)

the self harm is especially troubling.

You should talk to your school counselor or your parents.
