You need help: The symptoms you describe are far out from the normal range of having a bad day. Would recommend starting with your pediatrician or primary care doc if established who can further refer for psychological help. Counseling would be at a minimum needed. Try to avoid being alone and seek the company of people that bring joy to your life.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
