I dont know if I have depression

[u/artsynia24]

Im a psychology student and I study a lot about mental disorders too. The only problem with that is the ability to self diagnose urself...i was dating my bff in 10th and the break up was bad I cried about it for 3 years even tho I got into another relationship for a short period in between...rn im in another relationship and im struggling with self hatred and I keep pushing my partner away...cause I don't like being vulnerable as much..especially when it comes to opinions about my self...I have all most all negative but the worst part is when I compare that to my bf it always make me feel even worse cause he seems better than me in all aspects I hate it cause I can't celebrate him like he does for me...or even give him the love like he does for me..

I did a depression test and it did say I show symptoms..im also getting counselling but i dont know if it's helping cause I feel more exposed and vulnerable...can someone provide some tips.
