Am I Tired or is it me making excuses?

...See more I'm a working and also a senior highschool student. I got a job I don't enjoy, at first I told myself atleast I get money but the stress, the exhaustion I get is already getting overwhelming. I have unhealthy habits, eating problems, sleeping problems I gained from going through something similar to depression last year.(can't call it depression because I'm not diagnosed) I want to focus on self care but this job is somehow making things worse. I don't have a reason for taking the job, my family bugged me to get it and I somehow regret it. I feel tired, I'm not happy doing it at the end of the day whether I have money or not. Not to mention wcopinh with studies and my bad habits it's stressful. I told my my mom why they want me to take the job....they said none. Now I am more lost why I take it. I said I'm tired and...this is when my mom said I am not. Because if im really tired I would be tiring myself everyday and not sleep the whole morning (bad sleeping cycle). I said i may not be physical tired (not sure if I am) but maybe mentally..but she didn't take it. She then says her situation is nothing compared to mine. Saying that I should be happy I have a job. She told me if I don't like the job I should quit then but she says it in not a reassuring way bit I guess...mocking. They forced me to take the job, for no reason...when I did it mostly to get their approval... What hit me the most are my mom's words. Am I really tired? Am i making excuses? Am i just pathetic and I have to man up?
