Help?

I have been told that I need to tell someone about my undiagnosed depression,  and it was suggested that I write a note to my favourite teacher explaining how I feel. Basically she is my biology teacher and knows everything about me, but I don't know what to write. Can anyone help?

Oh and I was one of the top students and I started sliding down so now I'm at the bottom of the class. Please help me.

Just write to her exactly how you feel. Act like you are talking to a best friend. She sounds like a really nice person and someone who won't judge you. I can't tell you what to write because I don't know your feelings or your situation. It should be something that you write.

First follow this technique for 3 days, twice a day. You will notice the depression will not bother you, and you will be able to write the letter.You can write about this forum and whatever else you want, but your thoughts will flow nicely. Continue the pranayam, and you will get back to your higher level.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.

Do not feel embarrassed about it.   IT is a chemical problem that can be resolved with medication.  See a psychiatrist though and not a general practitioner.     You will feel better I promise.    IF you want to write your teacher then that it great.  Just be honest.   Depression can be tough to talk about due to the stigma but I have had it my whole life and it will get better..............
