Hi there. I am not an expert on depression, but I would say that some of the things you have described could be symptoms of depression. I think a good person to talk to would be a school counselor. Their sessions are confidential and she or he might be able to help you in dealing with some of the things that you are facing as well as give you some feedback/resources on whom else you could contact. You have mentioned a few things where I think talking to a counselor might be beneficial.
He covered most of it. You might not be in actual depression, but you seem to be getting close to it. I certainly think a school counselor would be able to help you out without needing to resort to (and pay for) a professional psychiatrist.
I was going to suggest going to see the school counsellor, too. Take a list with you that includes everything about which you have an issue, that way, you won't forget anything.
