See a psychologist: You should get evaluated. Schedule an appointment with a psychologist for an evaluation. Therapy and/or medication will help if in fact you are depressed. Make sure you talk about your symptoms and not a diagnostic label.

Many Ways to Tell: Depression can manifest in many ways. Here are the main symptoms: feeling bad about yourself, losing interest in things that used to bring you joy, fatigue, poor concentration, poor self-esteem, guilt, pessimism about the future, wanting to die or hurt oneself in some way, sleep problems, eating problems. You don't need all of the symptoms to be depressed. Consult with a doctor when unsure.
