Does this sound like depression?

I know I can't get diagnosed online but can someone tell me if this sounds like depression or dysthymia

I am always sad and suicidal.
I hide myself away in my room and try to avoid talking to anyone
I pushed what friends in person I have away and am slowly doing it to friends online
I get bad anxiety a lot
I feel overwhelming guilt a lot
I always want to eat Because it makes me feel a little better
But then I look in the mirror and hate myself more
I self-harm
I have attempted suicide a few times
And I have no motivation or self confidence so I don't try to get a job and dropped out college
I do have a day where I feel numb or I get really hype

Sorry if this is stupid or pathetic but sometimes I feel like I'm just pathetic and that there's nothing wrong so I would just like to know what you think is wrong

I don't too much about dysthemia but what you're describing could well be depression and anxiety too. For a proper diagnosis you would need to talk to a doctor because there may be other factors too playing a part in all of this. Certainly a doctor could help you to work out the best way to deal with depression, be that a combination of medication and counselling or therapy. A lot of people find that helps.

it does sound like depression but only a qualified expert can diagnose you and say for sure. also dysthymia and depression are the same thing, its just dysthymia is considered to be low-level depression and clinical depression (or major depression) is considered to be more more moderate-to severe. i think i have that right.

either way though it sounds like your dealing with some serious stuff, whether its depression or not. and some stuff that would probably best to get help for such as a clinical psychologist.

also, many people on this forum have been through or going through what your describing so your not alone. and i know this stuff is hard, but with help it can get better.

You sound depressed ....
Don't worry so much...
Don't let your mind make you guilthy or bad about yourself.
I have been in your shoes before, because I got bullied before, and feel anxious and self-conscious abt what others think of me, I couldn't go out of the house by myself.
I used to cry almost everyday.
Sometimes, when we are depressed, we feel that there is no hope, but don't worry, in the darkness, there is light
Exercise more ! Jog more!
Eat more blueberries I feel happier after eating them
I can ensure you that you'll feel better but don't over-exert yourself :p
Don't worry about self-image, lift your head up:)
It's not the end till everything is okay
Trust me, it takes time but there's always a way out.

I can't help but feel guilty for nearly everything and I worry so much everything pushes me Down when I try to get back up.
I exercise everyday I skip a lot and lift weights but the second I go in my room they thoughts come to me then I think about every way I could commit suicide (ways people can't find me, ways that'll hurt less and be over quicker things like that and it makes me feel hella lot worse.
I constantly think I'm too fat and my girlfriend gets annoyed when I say I'm fat then there's "other places" on my body I'm even more insecure about,
Just now I'm crawling close to the only way out is suicide…

hey there are always other ways out
usually losing weight does take some time but it's not impossible

I'm sorry to say that but this is almost like a list of the worst possible things to say to a person with depression. (This is not to say the OP has depression.) Would you also tell people with cancer they should eat more blueberries and lift their head up?
