I think you are normal teen. The hormonal variations lead to weird changes. Are you sleeping well? Are you eating a nutritious diet? I say Go Through the Motions of doing things which have the potential to be meaningful-like take a summer class or volunteer at an animal shelter or ask an older neighbor if you could help with errands and chores. You dont have to want to do all those things, but soon you will find that you feel better about yourself. You write' now I can't play' and I dont know whether that is due to injury, summer vacation or not being good enough. I wonder if that is just the reason you are down. There are more things in life than football......and they are MUCH more important. Soon you will be in college and thinking about what you want to do with your life. Maybe check out career listings and what they entail. You will be fine. Whatever you do, dont go get a prescription for anti depressants which will medicate you forever and you wont know WHO you are. I hope you have a job since being busy really helps.
