Depression.

It's totally normal mate but it's not depression - it's pre-exam stress, we all encounter it. Just get on with the studying and revision etc - it's worth it when you get your certificate full of A's at the end and a place in uni.

I have most of them, except a few, does that mean I have depression?

It's totally normal to feel all-over-the-place during exams. You just have to do your best and be prepared. Don't ever leave things to the last minute, ever. This is guaranteed to get you worked up and stressed, not to mention you could have learned to much more if you had revised weeks before. Try get enough sleep and eat 3 healthy meals a day. Little things all add up to feeling good or bad. Exam stress & anxiety is common but should never be mistaken for depression.

You should never diagnose yourself with anything. If you feel you have an issue you're worried about, go straight to your GP. Better to stop something before it becomes worse or at least find out there is nothing wrong.

Life is too short to be depressed.
