Should i tell someone how i feel?

I have been feeling down latelly. I don‘t enjoy things as much as I am used to. My grades have gone down and I am not motivated to get better grades. I still laugh with friends but mostly so I don‘t become that guy in the corner who never smiles. I only laugh when I am on youtube. because of my bad grades I feel really dumb at school. sometimes I think of jumping out of the window so it would all end, but then I think the people around me. they would be devistated. I am a gamer and even games don‘t make me to happy. I am seeing the flaws in the games I ones like. the only game that I have been playing is minecraft. only because it kills time. there is his really nice girl I know. I am not in love with her or anything. she is really sweet and smart and I think I can trust her. I think I am depresed. what should I do?

    Its nice to confide in people, but don't use this girl as a crutch. Speak with a counselor instead. It could be more serious than you think it is, or it could just be a passing phase. But get checked out anyway.

    It depends. Can you be yourself around thia girl? Is she a person you could tell anything to?, is she like a best friend? If so, I think you could tell her. I do however think that you should contact some kind of therapist, but it's always nice when someone close to you know whats going on with you, so you don't have to pretend you're fine all the time.
    I do think you should talk to your parents as well. Parents do like to know whats going on with their kids.
    Hope you get better soon :)

    I wouldn't suggest in using the girl like a emotional crutch. I accidentally did that one or two years ago with a friend and now I feel so embarrassed about bad about it.

    As for you; either tell your friends whats going on or see a school counselor. It might be best to talk with the school therapist since they are professionals. Then again, not to make you paranoid, but I have heard some stuff about school counselors. Apparently, they are basically Social Workers and in that sense, I've been very apprehensive about the concept of them. In that case, I would see a therapist. Do not see a psychiatrist since they can prescribe medications and in my experience, don't do a bit of help at all. See a professional because your depression might not be a minor thing. It could be very serious.

    I suggest you talk to a psychologist. From the given symptoms it sounds like you may be suffering from depression. One wouldn't know until they are diagnosed. Your grades going down, losing interest in things that you once enjoyed, feeling socially isolated suggests a downhill change within your moods. Talking to someone who will truly understand and help you get through these down periods would be your solace. Try starting with your parents, let them in the situation. Then seek an actual professional in the field. With the girl you like, my advice is that you wouldn't really know how she will react so take things slowly. She may not be as understanding as you think. I get that you're looking for someone to confide in. Start befriending her then after awhile open up to her. Hopefully she will lend an open ear about it. Best of luck to you.

    Just remember, pain is temporary but suicide is forever.
