I wish I could talk to my parents about how I really feel. It’s so hard for me to open up to them and show my vulnerable side. I’m going through a period in my life where I don’t know what to do in life, what college program I should go into, what career path I can take.. I just don’t have anything I’m really passionate about. I’ve been feeling depressed and anxious lately and I’m too scared to let anyone know. I’m usually a funny, out-going, and caring person. At least, that’s what all my friends and family say. But they don’t actually know what I’m feeling. I cry myself to sleep for the most random things, I feel insecure, I think I don’t have good social skills when it comes to talking to other people, I don’t like how I can’t do simple tasks, I have low self-esteem, and I don’t love myself enough. It gets harder to keep going and instead of living life, I’m trying my best to survive in it. I make sure I don’t skip my meals, do a physical activity everyday, and learn new things. But still, I’m not happy with what I’m doing right now. And I’m mad at myself for not being able to express how I truly feel to my parents or to my close friends. So, here I am writing this at 1am hoping I can sleep without crying about whatever I’m feeling or thinking after this.

Write a letter to your parents letting them know how you feel. You did it here so do it again for your parents.
Just pick something you think you will be good at for college and a job later. If you don't like the job you can change and get a different one. You can have as many different jobs as you like throughout your life because life is a journey not a destination.
You should let your parents know (in your letter to them) that you are depressed and anxious and need to see a doctor.
For low self esteem look at yourself in a mirror every day and tell yourself that you are as good as everyone else, and even better than some. Say this over and over until you believe it. If you are lacking in confidence as well write a few speeches and say one now and then to your family and friends too as they can be your audience.
Instead of loving yourself love God and talk to Him every night before you go to sleep. He is your heavenly father, and you are His precious child.
As well as writing a letter to your parents you can write to your friends in texts telling them how you feel as well. Wishing you all the best.
