Why do I feel so down and not happy anymore? I also feel really tired and non-motivated. Is that normal for someone to feel that way?

I know life is a journey and we are all temporary on this earth yet I feel heartbroken.

Nothing seems worth it anymore.

I now and then break down. Somehow my eyes just fill with tears. Even as I'm writing this I'm crying.

If you are a young person who is facing some small crisis then it's normal to feel as you are feeling temporarily. But you need to motivate yourself and snap out of the above feeling else you may fall into depression.
