I'm depressed because of my parent's hoarding and my own messiness.

HELP/ADVICE

I hate going home because of how messy and cluttered the house is. My mom is a shopaholic and buys clothes every week. My dad isn't as bad, but he buys things in bulk around this time of the year, which can make the house more cluttered. He does have a huge collection, but at this point, I'm not sure whether to call it hoarding, because they've told me it's what he loves and it's just a collection.

I took the day off school so I can catch up on work I neglected due to a mixture of stress, loss of motivation, and laziness, but I still can't find the motivation. I started to clean up my room instead. I'm taking three AP classes and my grades are low, I'm afraid for my life in the future when I need to look for good universities to accept me.

I don't know what to do anymore. How do I deal with depression while living with hoarders?
