A depressed teen here. Gonna be long and boring but need help

Can't be thankful enough for any of what you all said.
@nla4625 , I actually never heard of him before I honestly don't listen to Egyptian music that much but I'll try to. However, one of my biggest living inspirations is a Dutch singer called "Mr. Probz" he had a small documentary & album back in 2017 called "Against the stream" also know for "waves".
You should definitely give it a try. And you should come here again after this... Virus and actually, I was born in Luxor.
Unfortunately, I cannot delay my exams as I forgot to mention that the faculty that I'm in doesn't give a "second chance", meaning if I failed any of my upcoming exams or scored less than 60% for each topic, then that's it. I'll have to stick around for another year. So I'll be a class behind (don't know what's the right word).
The upcoming one " 2022" is clinical so I can't have the exams later on in the summer or while being in clinical. That kinda makes me even more and more worried. People accept me to keep going and pushing since I joined the school but I feel like I've no energy left
@erikas I may be confused with what you said but If I don't do well at school, does it mean I don't belong here? I feel so ungrateful about it. And like Miss Nancy @nla4625 said this is probably my only chance to have a proper job and my parents, who are both teachers, reminded me of that a lot and they're right
I said that I enjoy studying med when I don't think of that pressure. I really like to know how my body works especially when it makes sense. But I don't know what I'm thinking right now. It's getting very toxic.
@lacy2 I'll try the relaxation advice as it's all that I've for now. This may sound inappropriate or not of my business, but I hope that talking to me didn't interrupt you from having a glass of wine and spend the night with your husband. God bless you both.
@erikas I want to talk to a doctor " teacher", psychologist but this will have to wait after my exams as I can't talk in person due to where I live and really ashamed of myself to try to text them now. I mean ""you're asking for help now? just before the exams?!"". I won't blame them if that's said but I also don't have the choice of when to get depressed 🙁
And sorry if there's a "misplaced @" somewhere

@led... gosh no! Husband and I been married 40 years... after supper I come up to my room and watch tv or go on Ipad I dont drink... He goes to big TV in basement and watches his favourite shows and has a glass of wine or two..... we see each other all day. What I meant to convey was: I am searching for help on Internet for my issues daily, which can be stressful, and on this great site, and hope also to talk to others about what has helped me too... but my health , mental and physical is all-consuming and sometimes just wish I could watch some of the mundane tv shows as he does, totally enoying...and put up my feet and have a drink and relax as he does. I get a prescription and read it all and worry about it; he is on 15 meds, puts the pills in his hand and washes down with - yep - a glass of wine and hasn't read one thing about the meds he is on/side effecs... just wish sometimes I could be that trusting and less anxious.
I like You Tube for "guided meditation for xxxxx" but pay $12 a month so I dont get ads. I dont like the ones with binatural beats in or music in background or waves but some do... so I just search for such and such, "voice only." I have been trying to get my daughters to listen to them when they cant sleep but they wont! I can honestly say although they have not cured me or changed my life dramatically, I have settled myself down and felt Peace by listening to them many times... with or without headphones ... thanks for saying you might try... we all would like to help each other even in small ways .

@led I've worked on a campus as a graduate student and during finals is when most students needed help.
I'm not saying you don't belong at school. It does however sound like you are struggling but I don't know you or your situation enough to make a judgement like that.
You are saying essentially saying that you feel hopeless, worthless, lazy, and that the only way for you to have a future with a good career and a good life later is to pass your exams. Did I get that right? That is a lot of pressure to put on yourself.

@led I apologize if you interpreted what I said as meaning that being a doctor is the only chance you will have for a proper job. That's not what I meant at all, and I don't think that. You must be very smart and have a variety of skills to have gotten into medical school. I have no idea what the economy in Egypt is like at the moment, what the unemployment rate is, or what other prospects for employment there might be. Since tourism plays such an important role in your economy, I think things must be challenging now since the tourists are staying home. I didn't intend to offer any advice one way or the other on what you should do about becoming a doctor. I just hope you will take care of yourself, be well and be happy. Music is such a wonderful way to express our emotions. I recommended that song writer because he writes songs about depression that you might identify with and has a facebook page (not web site) where people share their experiences about depression. It was so helpful to me when I was depressed to know I wasn't alone and other people understood what I was going through. You might find some people on his facebook page to talk to...which could help a lot. When are your exams? You have several people here hoping you do well!!! Take care, Nancy
