Many people go through life feeling sick most of the time. The reason for them being sick isn't a medical reason, but it's actually physiological reason.
Life has a lot of obstacles and turning points that some of us cannot handle, especially for us teenagers, who experience adolescence. But some people go through more than they should at a very young age, which can often lead to a person being at a constant low. This is called depression.
Depression is not good for your health at all. It lowers your lifespan, and can lead to alcohol and substance abuse. Depression is often a result of constant stress which could be caused by various things; exams, friends, parents, or even life and death.
There are many ways to make sure you are relaxed with what's going on in your life. Some of them include writing down all your thoughts and feelings, speaking to relatives or/and counselors about how you are feeling and hanging out with friends and having a good time instead of sitting at home alone.
Depression happens when you bottle up what you feel, so be open honest and don't be afraid to express yourself. Just take each day as it comes; one at a time.
