I can understand where you are coming from with this question. I often go through random short-term episodes of Depression. I know that you may often find yourself sadder than usual, sometimes to the point of suicidal thoughts. You could be feeling constant loneliness and even though it's overlooked, a lot of depressed individuals or suicidal individuals are very tired. When I go through this kind of thing, my energy completely depletes. This is directly linked to the hormones that go through your brain. The ones linked to happiness are also mostly linked to production of energy. If those hormones aren't working correctly, then you may feel a major depletion of your energy. I recommend talking to family, or finding a hobby that you enjoy. If that doesn't seem to work, then don't reject the idea of receiving medical help. I hope you find this useful.

Thank you, I've just been feeling exhausted which has affected my performance during school causing me to almost getting in trouble.
