Depression
I find myself difficulty in remembering as well as focussing on subjects. It leads to headache when I try to push myself. Some days it becomes difficult for me to sleep and I frequently get tears in my eyes thinking about my day wasted therefore I keep myself engaged. I try very hard to study because I used to love it but now I find very exhausting. I am preparing for competitive exam and if I will tell my parents they will think that I am giving excuses to avoid study. Today I read an article in newspaper about depression and I found myself in similar condition. I am getting suicidal thoughts also for being useless

I understand your concerns. Definitely, all the symptoms you described are pointing towards depression. Moreover, you are also under severe stress because of the preparation for the competitive examination. The stress will further worsen depression and depression, in turn, makes you feel more stressed. This becomes a vicious cycle.
Moreover, depression results in poor concentration, poor memory and ultimately poor performance in the exams.
You need professional help.
Please don't shy away.
Next Steps
please consult a Psychiatrist ASAP for detailed evaluation and comprehensive treatment.
Health Tips
discuss your concerns with your family and friends and take their support, if possible.
otherwise, atleast consult on your own, but don't neglect the early symptoms of depression as they become more problematic when they are left untreated.
