Answer 1

A counselor will believe you. Talk to someone at school. Try keeping a journal so you can get some of these worries out of your head. Also exercise can help depression. Try going for a run or getting a video so you can work out in your living room.

Everyone gets depressed sometimes. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Go get some help.

Pills are one treatment for depression. There are others, such as therapy.

Answer 2

this is serious!

go see a doctor, he will believe you i promise, depression is a horrible thing to go through. Go see a doctor, really he/she can help.

i am pale too, i like being pale, don't care about it, people wont care whether you are pale or not.

Answer 3

Make a worry box; write down the things that worry you and put them in a box.  You are not allowed to worry about them once they're in the box.  Check the box each week and you'll find all sorts of things that you worried about and didn't need to.

Answer 4

relax and think of the good things you have and laugh.  Sit down and make a list of all the good things in your life.

Answer 5

You take a relaxed point of view on things!

Answer 6

Whoa, just calm down!

You don't need to be worried about being ugly or pale, i know everyone says this, but that's because it's so true: The people who are worth knowing will like you whether you're beautiful or not! Trust me, I spent so long with self esteem issues, i know it eats away at you.

As for the not sleeping because you're worried, the exact same thing happens to me, what I usually do is focus on pushing everything out of my mind, and after a while I calm down a lot. If that alone doesn't work, and you end up staying up half the night, try getting up and drinking some hot tea, if you put enough sugar in it, it's actually really good, and it's so soothing. ;)

It's very hard  if you have a symptom of that--as you do--and also, with the way this world and society are, it's almost impossible to stop!
