I think I might be depressed
I'm a 21 year old female. I think I might be depressed and socially anxious. I've been like this for the past 5 years. I self harm almost everyday. Of late, it's getting to much to bear. I cannot go out in public because I'm afraid of crowds. I cannot even do small things like ordering food from a shop. I panic so much that my heart starts beating so fast and sometimes I start feeling dizzy. My hands start trembling and my legs feel like giving up. I have no control over it. I feel empty most of the time. I do feel happy but it does not last longer. I have these voices in my head that keep telling me that I'm worthless and a failure. I'm confused about what's going on and I need help

Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
Regrettably your depression has gone on for too long resulting in worsening of anxiety/phobia. It is high time that you seek assessment from Psychiatrist.
Depression is like diabetes. If not recognised and treated, it will cause complications and affect one's life significantly.
Best wishes.
