Why dud you load yourself with so much load and you are a student

Dont you know that schooling Isa stressful

Seat your mum and sibblings down to let them know that you are going berserk

Reduce some so that you can u can concentrate and graduate from school successfully

Being depressed is not bad, it is a sign that you are living.
I face depression close to 4yr because of lack of cash and so much pressure, but i come out from it life was all fun, especially when i look at the past, if to say i kill myself by then i would have not be happy with myself.
What i will advice u is don't think of killing urself thing will change just believe and bring your mind down, don't reason what people will say because depression is matter of life and death. Look at your family and manage with them, if u take your life u don betray ur people, it is not easy anywhere. Pls be strong

Talk to your family about what you are dealing with. Two of the major symptoms of depression is shame and guilt. You can work on overcoming both of them by allowing others become a part of that secret you think you are holding on to. Let those who benefit from you be a part of your support to help you overcome the depression. That or you seek professional mental health therapy to help you do just that.

@OP Cheer up.. Look at the brighter side of life, count your blessings and be thankful.

Tough times don't last, tough people do... A time of plenty will come for you soon.

Kill urself with load from ur family and see if they won't survive.
Sometimes we just have allow some things to take their natural cause. Face ur studies and survive firts before siblings or mother, they ll be fine i promised u. Be little selfish!

Take what I term ME TIME.

Disconnect from everybody, take a vacation and spend on yourself for once.

Draw monthly budget and increase spending on yourself. That way, you'll have less to spend on others.

The first time I damned the consequences and spent almost $5k on me in one shopping, I realized I've been living and working for others for too long.

Do the spend on me thing and regain your senses, trust me.

Nobody will die or become homeless if you don't feed them or don't help pay their rents. They will only learn to fend for themselves and you'll be bad person but only for a while.

Modified:

Being a student who fends for himself, I'll advise you focus on you for now and disconnect from everyone else. Direct all you have towards your education and upkeep in school.

Shalom.

Don’t make your family feel too comfortable….let them know that you are struggling too…
Start tasking your siblings…it helps a lot,even when you are capable of sorting things out.
Make them contribute their own quarters too…no matter what.

Why isn't your mother paying her own rent?

What kind of a parent is she that she's now making herself your responsibility when she should be doing something to support herself?

"NO" is a complete sentence, learn to use it sometimes. You have too much financial burden on your shoulders and to think you're still in school that's worrisome coz this in turn affects your studies. Your Mom should take some off your shoulders in any little way she can if your siblings are not of age to hustle.
Don't kill yourself for anyone coz life goes no Don't give in to depression, identify your stressors and cut out the negatives asap.
