I have clinical depression and currently fighting myself.

Is this where the depressed people come and chat? I’m new.

Hello, I should give some context. I am a 13 yr old male struggling with year 7. My family is split and I live with my mum and my brother. I have clinical depression and currently fighting myself. With the still going events of 2020 it is a hard life, and have tried (on numerous accounts) suicide but I couldn’t go through. I am quite fat, have AD HD and spectral autism, and can often be found sleeping or gaming. So that is a little about me.
