Firslty, i'm really sorry to hear about your mum, it's completely understandable and normal for you to be feeling this way. xx
And secondly, Sorry but I completely disagree with the poster below. Not allowing a doctor to help, self medicate with sleeping pills? What irresponsible advice!
Of course a doctor will help you, that should be your first step.
Your doctor will be able to help you and advice you and a way that is suitable for you personally.
They may think councelling is the key, they may not. They may perscribe medication, something suitable to fit your needs, you shouldnt be taking off the shelf stuff without a doctors advice.
Depression is a serious illness , you NEED appropiate help and advice from a proffessional in order to get better and feel happy again, and not to let it get to the stage where it goes too deep as it will be even harder to treat (I know, ive had it for 10 years and my life has been a mess, so unwell with it, please dont let it get that far before you do something about it.)
Take care of yourself x

This is gonna be tough for you but no doctor/conselor can help you. only thing they are gonna do is make you talk about/relive what happened and why you are depressed. I went thru it all. everyont is different yes. Agreed, but the only way to get real HELP is with in yourself. Its tough, it sucks. pills will make you happy, but your only runing away from it all. My best advice is to go to walmart, by sleepin meds an take them before you go to be so you can sleep. An then find someone how will listen to you.. NOT RELATE to you, but listen. because all you really need is for someone to tell you ur not alone with this... Everything will be okay kiddo. depression sucks. And im sorry about your mother!

Sounds like depression, real depression. I've been through the same thing and that's just how I was, up for days and feeling like everything is just closing in on me. First thing you need to do is make a doctor's appointment and tell the doctor everything you said here. He/she can help you get started in dealing with this. If you want to talk to someone, google 'depression help/hotlines' and see if there are sites or numbers in your area to contact for support. But really, go to the doctor. You are definitely struggling with depression, but the good news is, there's help. You don't have to stay this way, and you can find your way to a healthy, happy you... you're just going to have to do a little work. You can do it. I know you can. Call the doctor, and don't be shy. Its all confidential.
