Am I suffering fom depression? Please answer. I want all the information I can get.?

I'm 13. I have many of the symptoms. It takes me forever to fall asleep at night. I usually don't wake up in the middle of the night, but when I do, I can't go back to sleep. I fidget constantly. I have lost interest in many of my favorite activities. I hate being around my family and participating in family activities. I have trouble concentrating in class. I feel horrible all of the time. It's not like normal sadness, and I can't seem to understand what's causing it. If I am depressed, shouldI get help? Based on the information given if I do have depression, how would you rate it on a scale of 1-10? I've never felt like this before. If not depression, what is it?

sorry to hear about your troubles. sounds to me more like a teenage thing. its a phase just about everybody goes through around that age. its hard but it gets better. its ok to feel the way you do. i would say you are depressed, however, your depression seems like typical teenage anxiety. you would probably benefit from talking to a psychiatrist or school counselor. you should probably make your family aware of your feelings. i hope you start to feel better soon, dont give up on yourself, and talk to someone who is more qualified to help you.
