Sadly, I think that the only way to really find out if you have depression or not is to speak a professional such as a doctor or a therapist, because they are the ones that are trained to diagnose it. You can't really find out through something like an online test or through someone who isn't a professional because they can't take your individual personality and needs into consideration when diagnosing you.

I agree with Elsa that you really should tell someone about this, because ignoring it will make it so much worse.
