This is step 1 for any and all depression treatment (because alcohol is obviously a huge depressant.)
One of the big indicators of depression isn't the mood/psychological effects, its the actual physical effects. You haven't seemed to mention any of those, so it sounds more like you just need someone to talk to and validate the complexity of your self-image. A counselor is a good place to start.
