if you don't mind me asking, why do you feel depressed? Where does it come from? Pressure of success? Impressing others? Being the best you can be? I feel like suffering in life can be a good thing, hearing your taking summer classes while still in high school is great! Im in college right now as a 28 year old, starting up a new major and so many kids from high school attend one of my classes for this program and most of them don't seem to care, as if someone told them that they had to take this class. If your taking a class in college because of your depression, maybe its a part of your mind getting you "motivated" to do something you really want to do and your conscious mind isn't reading the message clearly or even trapped in some cycle so that when you do sense something, it funnels towards those types of thoughts. I use to be this way, and not saying that this is whats happening to you, but I ended up getting prayer beads to wear and I used them as my "good thoughts beads". I would out loud if I was by myself, in a way that sounds confident not just saying them to say them, or I would say these thoughts to myself if people were around and I started to feel ill about myself. If you look into this, be careful not to use words like; do not, will not, try, because the mind only works with action, not implies no action which doesn't make sense, make sure to use words like release. I took notice that just wearing the bracelet stimulated something in me that allowed me to feel those thoughts the moment I wore the bracelet, it also helped that they were made of sandalwood and smelled kind of nice, stimulating other senses to instill "proper" thought. there are tons of tricks people practice to help with "proper" thinking and everyone's responsibility to find what works best for them. I hope something I've said helps you because I don't like seeing anyone suffering. I don't know if it will help, but I bought a book called the science of mind by Ernest Holmes and it helped me open my mind to the possibility of thought. Take care and I know you will do something great, even if you decide to take medication to see the amazing potential you have always been expressing. Remember that we ourselves are usually our worst critic. :P
