Hi, Julia!
As said above, we aren't professionals but I know you posted this hoping for a response to your question. Depression signs sometimes vary from person to person, but generally it's usually low self-esteem, self-harm, thoughts of suicide, feelings of hopelessness, feelings of sadness, emptiness or numbness. Physically, there's sometimes sudden weight changes, interference with sleep, headaches or body aches in various places.
If you think you might have depression, then I seriously suggest talking to someone about it. Trying to hide it will just make things worse for you, it'll make you feel more alone. I know it's hard opening up, but you deserve support and help too. It's okay to ask for that. If you don't feel you can talk with your mom, is there anyone else? Like the school guidance counselor, friends, your dad? You could write down how you're feeling if you want and give it to them in a note.
You can message me anytime if you need to talk.
Stay strong.
