Crying
My dad lost his job. He is being a stubborn ass and has still not found work. For about the past 6 weeks all I do is cry. I cry when I think what will happen to me and my family, and when i realize I don't have the courage to talk to the guy I really like, but have not spoken to. Sometimes I just cry for no apparent reason. I also have been getting frusterated more easily nowdays and cry when I do. Am I depresed? 15/f Thanks

Perhaps you are.
The little detail they leave out about depression is the fact that to a degree, it's completely natural. You wouldn't be human if you didn't feel shitty when things were shitty.
You are tired, stressed out and fruserated. Those emotions will leave you drained and quick to tears.
There are just a few things to keep in mind.
One. Your dad not having work right now falls firmly into the catergory of 'adult problems'. Yes, it might stress you out and frighten you, but there is abolsutely nothing that you can do about it. You are just going to have to trust your father to do his best. Making yourself sick with worry isn't going to make anything better and frankly, six weeks without work is difficult, but not the end of the world. There are a lot of factors at play but job searches can certainly take a month or two when you are adult. It's okay to be frightened, but it's not okay to ruin all your happiness over something you can't control.
Two. If you don't have the courage right now then you don't have it right now. Obviously, when your homelife is stressful and a mess you are going to have a hard time finding the courage. You are emotionally drained. Don't beat yourself up for being overwhelmed in a situation that would overwhelm anyone.
Take a deep breath and forgive yourself, and your father. He might be a stubborn ass, but I highly doubt he is a stubborn ass who wants his whole family to starve. He'll pull through. He has too. He's the adult.
Crying is okay, being afriad and being stressed out is just fine. All you need to do is remind yourself what you can and can't control, and take your happiness where you can find it.
