I don't know how to deal with my depression
This might be a stupid reason to get my depression at its finest, but this is what happened. Please no judgements. I just need to share and hopefully anyone would be kind enough to give me any advices.
Depression is something that haunts me every single day. It never actually goes away from me. I see my depression as a flame. One time the flame would be small, then another time it would be medium, but most of the time it is big, like flames that could burn a whole mansion. I always feel depressed and down every single day, yet even I don

You're valid.
You know why? Because these are your emotions. This is how you feel. You know what it is like. Your emotions do not lie. That's what makes it valid.
I don't know what your class or grading system is. But if you feel like grades define who you are. Then you are wrong. Grades do not say "Hey this person is stupid and incompetent at life because this person failed at math 420."
For all we know, you might be extremely talented in other aspects of studies. As long as you put in the extra effort and have the will to continue learning, then you are definitely not stupid. People become stupid when they stop learning and stop trying. I believe you still have that willingness inside you. Utilize it. The willingness to learn new subjects is a beauty itself.
So what if your friends will be better than you? Everything that you do, there is always someone out there in the world better than you. When you learn, it's not about comparing but actually about learning the subject. Change your mindset and focus on yourself. You are your own person and you do not need to compare yourself to others. You are valuable because you are unique. There is no other person like YOU in the world. You have from A - Z set of skills. Sharpen the things you love and you find interesting. The beauty of learning is not about comparing but to gain knowledge.
I want to leave you with a quote.
"Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid."
Best~
