I am 17 years old and I have taken many online quizzes and they all come out as me having moderate to severe depression. I also have a past of suicidal thoughts and self harm. I have been feeling this way for many years and I have not really spoken about it because it makes me feel like I am being weak and asking for attention. We have been through a lot in the years, my dad remarrying and my mom now struggling to support us. She often feels like every hardship we have gone through is her fault, so I have always been the strong and supportive one were my two older sisters have lived their own lives almost normally. We are currently going through a move in provinces again and she is struggling to find a school she can afford, she is under so much pressure that I feel that I cannot tell her I feel depressed because it may be too much for her. My sisters have now both gone off to University and I feel if I wasn't here, she would not be so stressed and not have to deal with me.
I don't know what to do...
I think I may have depression, but I'm afraid to tell my family. I feel alone?

Depression normally causes due to confused mind.There are good number of cases more siviour than what you have discribed.You can definatly overcome your problem by regularly doing meditation and pranayam,this will help you in calm down your thoughts,You will be able to think afress,your depression will gredually reduce down and thus you will be able to solve all your problem/s. However regular meditation and pranayama in quiet place is very much necessary.
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.
