hello.

It's normal to be anxious and depressed when finals are coming up. A lot of things to do and you feel like you have so little time or perhaps you are getting worked up in setting your goals right that are way above.

If you really feel that awful it wouldn't hurt to try to tell them that your finals are coming up and perhaps you are so busy and tired that you haven't hangout or talked to them. I'm sure the landlady would understand why have you been cooped up in your room

Communication is very important in treating depression and anxiety, it would be best if you try to hang out once in a while with you classmates or your room mates, think of it as an outlet for your stress. Being cooped up in your room would just make you think in an endless spiral of negative thoughts.

After the finals be sure you surround yourself with friends or family if you're coming back home. Just try to be a bit more outgoing as it will take your mind off your finals exam results etc...

lastly
you're having depression and anxiety. have you tried or are you currently taking any meds? Perhaps, it could help you by seeing a therapist
or guidance counsellor at your college university I'm sure it'll help you.
