So the last few weeks I've been really depressed feeling and like I just get super stressed out where my chest gets tight. I'm under so much pressure from everyone because everyone expects something different from me. I feel like I've lost a lot of friends and family members. I just feel like no one cares about me and I never come first or even second to any one in this whole world:( people never have time for me or blow me off. Lately my grades have been suffering I went from getting 80''s and now I'm failing or getting 60's. I feel like I have no one to talk to and honestly I wanna talk to someone but I don't wanna be honest about this stuff. Also I get jealous extremely easy I hate having to share people. I cry often as well. If it helps I'm a teenager. I just need advice can you please tell what I can do to stop feeling this way do you think I'm getting depression or anxiety? all advice is appreciated.

When you say you cry often....that finally made me think teenage girl with emotional struggles due to the hormones of puberty. It can sneak up on you, being fine one month and the next, all of a sudden you cry easily at anything, are really sad and can also get easily irritated or anger for nothing. Sometimes these hormones that come with puberty can be out of balance, just like teen periods can be very irregular for the first couple years. Eventually your body figures out what's a normal amount and normal pattern and settles in just fine but for a couple yrs it can be really really bad. I've recently read of parents taking daugthers to the Dr to have the hormone levels tested and they were extremely high and causing the problems which included depression and anxiety over things happening to them that they didn't understand. The parents wrote that the daughters were put on meds for a couple years and later taken off once their bodies went back to normal. And it made a world of difference in their level of happiness.
The tightening in chest suggests anxiety and depression but I can't say for sure whats going on, for all I know you might be a male.
Jealousy is common in teens because this is a time when we are so unsure of ourselves and worry alot about what others think of us, of making a good impression and so we also fear losing something, fear losing friends, popularity, fear doing bad in school, fear that we are not good enough to make friend material, we compare ourselves to others and we are the most critical of ourselves. But understanding what the mental thought process is and learning how to feel self secure and confident and will deal with the problems of jealousy.
So let me know if you are a female. Because I would suggest mom take you for the check up I mentioned to rule out hormones. If not that, then the doctor can refer to someone to work with you on the feelings of anxiety or whatever. There are a few things I can suggest you try if you really want to, that help with depression due to circumstances around you rather than a clinical depression where a person must go on medication.
I got this list on line. My daughter got the same list from a psychiatrist through her job and we both know it works for us whenever we have situation/circumstance related stress. If you want to try it let me know, also whether you're female or not. If you have no improvements by end of a week, then you definitely need to see a doctor.
