It does sound like you may have depression.
You arent going to get any help unless you go to the doctor.
I hate to say it but if you dont go to the doctor you may have to just suck it up and deal with it.

if you hate being and feeling how you do then you need to get it sorted ASAP before it becomes much worse. I put my feelings off, and ended up wasting a year of my life depressed. Its the biggest regret of my life and im sorry but id strongly advise you to see your doctor so you can get counseling once a week … i didn’t like that idea, but in the long run its the best thing i ever did. i hope things turn out ok
