Depressed?

Hey I'm an 18 year old girl and for about 2 years now I have been in and out of feeling extremely down and being angry at everything. I had a terrible school life I was bullied a lot. I moved out with my boyfriend about 3 months ago and it didn't even make me happy. Nothing seems to make me happy I randomly start crying uncontrollably for absolutely no reason. Lately I have completely lost my appetite and when I do eat I feel physically sick. I can't sleep and when I do it's broken. I constantly feel like I am a burden to everyone and I always feel guilty even though no really makes me feel that way. I have an amazing family and boyfriend but it just doesn't seem to make me happy and I don't know why. Can someone maybe just help me tell me if that could be depression or anything of the sort? I feel like maybe everyone would be better off without me.

Hi I feel like you and I are somewhat in the same state of mind and I understand how youre feeling. I feel angry and depressed alot too but I think im getting better at dealing with things. I moved out with my boyfriend two years ago straight out of high school and my parents were very upset with me. A lot of my depression I think came from the disapproval I recieved from my family. Now I still live with him and were doing very well and I found that you have to surround yoursellf with thoughts and people that do not judge and to not judge others. Try to think of things that make you happy like dreaming of the future thqts what I have fun doing. I hope this helps haha whenever you want to talk please feel frre to message me. If things be ome too much to handle please seek help from a counsellor or therapist they can come up with great ways to help you with things specifically.  I hope this helps you are not alone and the people that love you need you and want to see you be happy:)

Hi,
I am sure you are not a burden.
I can imagine how confusing your situation is.
However no one here can tell you the diagnosis. You should see your doctor or even psychiatrist to get diagnose.
I also think that therapy would help you to deal with the problems from the past eg bullying, feeling guilty etc. I would really recommend to seek professional help ASAP. Do not wait another year or years. Such problems usually do not disappear on its own - or at least it was like that in my case. It is hard to deal with them but much harder to live with them for years and years/ they are always somewhere round the corner. :(
All the best xxx
