Depression, anxiety or something else I have no idea.

So I'm not sure where to post this as I'm relatively new to this but here goes.
For a long time I've been feeling not myself, when I say that I mean complete opposite of what I usually am. I am an outgoing person usually quite confident and forthcoming, but of late I've been feeling very down more than usual and closed off from people.
I've been having thoughts that have been saying I'm not good enough or I'm not worth the time and overly worrying about situations which are completely out of my control (just to name a few) which then in turns physically impacts me feeling sick in my gut and cold which in turn stresses me more to the point of being very irritable and angry.
More than that I've been distancing myself from friends going out on occasions and I honestly can't say why I do, I feel tired a lot of the time, can't find pleasure in things in which I used to enjoy doing, but still try to find the good things about them and why I do it. And to be completely honest I feel super lonely, my best mate left to go to the army and we were like two peas in a pod, but he's gone and now I feel really lost and lonely.
Not only that but being used and abused, rejected by people you care about. One person who I cared about dearly left me and for someone else, and I can honestly say I have not delt with it yet, I still feel hurt, quite worthless and empty really as I've had heaps of experiences like this.
I have no idea how to go about sorting this problem out but I am scared about going and seeing someone regarding purely because I don't like opening up but also I feel like my future goals may be impacted, but I am willing to make a sacrifice again for the betterment of my health, so any advice is welcome.

Hi W1,
Wellcome to our forums.
Im sorry you are feeling this way.
I understand that it’s hard to feel this way and it would be so hard not to have your best mate around .
Im sorry you feel used and abused if the people you spend time with do this to you then they aren’t your real friends. You should get as much back as you put in to a friendship.
Im sorry that you have been having the type of thoughts you have been experiencing…… have you thought about putting your own thoughts back into your mind?
You could try saying:
I am worthy
I am love
When you find yourself worrying try to redirect your attention onto something more positive in the present moment.
What we give attention to we give power to.
Have you thought about seeing a gp in regards to how you are feeling?
A psychologist can also be helpful.
