This is very serious: in a 19yo . My only advice is to get in to see a psychiatrist as soon as you can. There can be many causes. On things is to check your family history for depression.

DEPRESSION: You are describing depressive symptoms. First have a physical exam to rule out a physical problem. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help you with ZOOM.com sessions. Research indicates with psychotherapy you can change & find better coping mechanisms. If there is a biological reason you are depressed please see a Psychiatrist for medication.
