Lack of motivation, confidencee and self esteem after sickness?

Question

In May this year I became very sick with Barmah Forest Virus. I was out of school for 6 weeks.

Ever since then, I have lost all my motivation to exercise, eat right, do my chores, do social things and do schoolwork. I have zero self esteem and confidence and am constantly comparing myself to those around me (Physically). I never want to go to school anymore, but before I used to jump out of bed at 5:30 (Now I'm struggling to get up at 7:00).

Whats wrong with me! I'm only 14!

Honestly hun, it sounds as if you are having some major depression.  It probably is not related to being sick, but being sick may have triggered it for you since it is part of your family history.  You definitely need to discuss it with your parents and see your family doctor.
