Tired all the time and depressed
No, not clinically depressed, I am not suicidal or anything to that extreme. It's just lately I feel like I don't matter, like whatever I do whether it is great or not ... it doesn't matter. I am a junior in high school. I am taking three college courses this year and it's getting stressful. My boyfriend me get a limited time to talk ( long and stupid story) and we aren't even talking the time allowed. It feels like our schedules are opposites. I went home and crashed yesterday, I slept from 6-8 and then went back to bed at 9 and woke up at 6. I was so tired when I woke up... you would think that much sleep would put me in a good mood. .. right?
Also I feel irritated and all the small things that shouldn't bother me, like how a friend talks a lot < but she's been doing that for a few years and it hasn't bothered me as much till now. ... I don't know what is wrong with me. How can I get more... happy? No doctors, no counselors, no medication...

It sounds like you are overreaching a bit, stressed out. Other than suggesting you make sure you are eating properly, getting proper rest and exercising. There is not much more I can offer you.
You have said "No doctors, no counselors, no medication." I will suggest you reconsider these options, at least to the point of having a full physical if you did not get one prior to starting school. There are reasons you are feeling the way you are. There can be a medical reason that needs a doctors attention or you could be stressed out by your work load.
Stress is a big problem that can lead to physical problems. Left undiagnosed it can the physical can be very serious, even in teenagers. I suggest you reconsider your No doctors, no counselors, no medication request and at the very least schedule a visit to your primary care doctor.

in the end true happiness can only come from you. you have to listen to yourself, and what your hearts telling you. you have the ability to make change in your life, since you are not actually clinically depressed. i hate using cliches and am trying to avoid them but i have to throw in a couple, take time for yourself. relax. regroup. you are obviously stressed and therefore irritated and tired. you may feel in a rut. these are all totally normal things. to deal with stress you really just have to rise above it. a lot of stress is unnecessary and created by yourself. instead of getting stressed, try and have a sense of humor about things. come to terms with the fact that what ever happens, happens, and a lot of it is out of your control. realize what really matters in life, and what will actually make a differnce long term. and overall just try to take a more positive outlook on things. im not talking rainbows and butterflies bullshit, just a more light postitive outlook. how you perceive things will determine your outlook. dont take shit too seriously. really. things can always be harder, and worse. give thanks for what you have and focus on those things. they are what is important in life. and for the rest of it, time takes care of everything, things work themselves out. just go along with the flow, with a smile on your face.
a good nights sleep and a little R&R never hurt either. eat a good meal and do something you enjoy, or better yet, do nothing! dont stress, your alright.
