To start I have never been actually diagnosed with depression by a doctor but what I have been feeling these past couple of weeks and in the past year have all been easy to decipher symptoms. I've been having this wave of depression, sadness and suicidal thoughts enter my life during summer time since last year and it continues this year as well. I think what first sparked this change was when I dropped out of college my second year and didn't have the courage to continue at that point. I fell like a complete failure that has let my family down and I completely shut myself down to everyone including my friends. It makes me so I completely close myself off to all of my friends and family and I end up canceling plans abruptly with no warning just to be alone. I have no motivation to even find a job or work places. I put my phone on do not disturb most days and just rot away in bed. I am alone with my thoughts so much to the point where it was so overwhelming I think of suicide. Even with all of this happening recently I haven't told anyone how i feel within my family or even my friends. The worst part about all of this is I have plans to meet with friends soon and with me feeling like this I don't want them to see me like this. Its a huge plan with it revolving around my birthday and i dont want to cancel and be a huge selfish asshole but i feel like i have too. What should i do?
