Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Well your nineteen,
which gives you the option to seek
help yourself, or ask your mom.
Which ever you find easier you should do.
I mean the symptons you list are signs of depression, and if not taken care of soon,
can worsen. You most likely have low seretonin,
which can be fixed by meds if you seek help.
Try talking to a counsular about this.
Thats something I highly suggest.

Look at it this way: You are sick, not incredibly and unbelievable sick, just a bit sick, so you'll need to ask for help and see a doctor.
Darling it really is that simple. The fear you have about telling your mother, the shame you feel about being unhappy, and the silly idea that you should somehow be able to fix this on your own. That's all part of the illness trying to keep you ill. It isn't true.
This wont go away on it's own, it never does. It gets worse until you ask for help. If you can't go to your mother, any adult who cares for you will work, a neighbor, an aunt or uncle. Anyone who will listen and help.
In the meantime, force yourself to exercise a bit, and eat regular meals at proper times. Just taking a good walk each day, eating three decent meals, and forcing yourself to go to bed a decent hour might help you bring your body back on track. You have to want to get better, but if you do want to, exercise and a proper daily routine is a good place to start.
But that will only help; it won't solve the core problems. You are going to need to tell someone.
