Am I Depressed?

Hello everyone,

I joined 7Cups about several months ago, when I had just returned to my home country, after 6 years of living abroad. I initially thought that I only experienced reverse culture shock and nothing more, but now I have doubts. I check all the boxes for a happy life: I have a good job and career prospect, I love and feel loved back by my family, and I also have no trouble dating (at least many people have told me so, if I had put myself out there more often).

However, I have just realized that I spent most of my waking hours working which somehow numb my feeling. When I have finished all my tasks at night, though, I feel a rush of emotion. It was a mix of loneliness, nostalgia, and a sense that something in my life is missing. It feels as if nobody will ever understand me and that I will never meet someone who truly does. I also feel an urge to just run away to place no one can find (I usually accomplish this by reading fiction). I usually feel relief too at night though. It is as if I get a respite from having to deal with so many people who will never understand me.

Sorry for the rant. I just need someone's opinion about this. Should I seek help? Maybe I should try speaking to one of the therapists here at 7Cups.
