It's almost as if I'm randomly for uncontrollable reasons. I can't concentrate on things I use to love or anything for that long anymore. I hate going out and keep having to make terrible excuses as to why I can't. I feel like I have no one to talk to and I keep tearing up at random moments. I hate feeling like this and knowing that only makes me sadder. I don't want to bring attention or extra problems for my parents in real life but I need some advice. I don't know what they think about mental illness either due to the bad stigma. I've been feeling like this for almost two months now and I seriously hope I'm not ill. I'm desperate this is my only and last call.
Thank you so much!

Having difficulty controlling emotions can be very frustrating. I have been there, I did have depression and anxiety (which you may or may not, I am not a professional but concerned for your desperation )
Either way IT WILL BE OKAY. You must realize in your heart that your parents will love and support you no matter what. If you don't feel like you can talk to them about this yet then please find someone you can trust ( friend, councillor, doctor). If you do find that medication may help then try it. Stigma is nothing compared to suffering.
Take care, Life is beautiful. Youve got so much to give! Shine another day!
The first line of defense against depression and anxiety is B vitamins. Get nutritional yeast powder and/or B-100 pills. Vitamin B2 is a water soluble dye that turns urine bright yellow. When the color fades, it's time for another dose. Read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right.
I would get checked for depression.
Of course, depending on your age (and gender) it could be hormonal.
The part about not being able to focus falls in line with ADHD, which you can get as a child or adult.
Perhaps it is best to research into depression seeing as you've experienced this for two months, for example there are multiple types of depression-related illnesses. Such as:
Major Depression
Bipolar Disorder
Seasonal Affective Disorder
Psychotic Depression
Peripartum (Postpartum) Depression
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
'Situational' Depression
Atypical Depression
I hope this helped you in some way.
Yes, and make sure your B vitamins are natural and not synthetic. Some synthetic B vitamins are extracted from tar and can be harmful (I know from experience). You may also want to try magnesium (any form except oxide which has bad bioavailability). Magnesium deficiency is common and can cause depression.
