You never really get over something so huge as losing your Dad. Have you been in counseling? You are showing that you need it still. Ask around for a good counselor and have your Mom do the same. Ask your Drs. who they recommend. You can also look at the website of Psychology Today and see the philosophy, specialties, cost and insurance accepted of counselors listed. You need an adolescent counselor.

Also you need to see your GP to rule out any physical problem like hypothyroidism or a vitamin deficiency and clinical depression and anxiety. Your GP may prescribe an antidepressant and/or anti-anxiety meds or refer you to an adolescent psychiatrist. Either way you need to be seen for these problems. Please don't delay as you don't want to lose this semester for lack of feeling well and motivated. You can feel a whole lot better in a couple of months if you move quickly on my recommendations. Please don't delay.
