Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your situation.
I would strongly recommend you take help of your family members especially your mother for this situation. They will be able to help you. Even talking to your mother and venting out your feelings may not change the situation but may help you to deal with it better. If this does not help then a professional help may be required. You may need psychological counselling and probably medications for depression.
I hope I have helped you
thank you
