A couple questions. There are a couple ways to look at depression, but here's a basic one.

Do you have any trouble sleeping at all? Or possibly sleep too much?
Have you lost interest in doing things, or are things that you used to like to do less fun?
Do you blame yourself for things a lot or feel worthless?
How has your energy level been? Have you been feeling tired?
Have you been able to concentrate well recently?
Has anyone described your movements to be weirdly slow for no reason?
Have you felt like you wanted to ctb?

Actual doctors weave these in better, but it's a bit awkward in a forum rather than a 30 min convo. There are other methods to look at it such as screening questionnaires.
Also what I'm saying here is just trying to guide in the correct direction; this is not actual medical advice!

Ill be real, the fact that you feel sad and are on this forum is probably answer enough.

It's obviously not an official diagnosis but, they get you to fill out something like this at the doctors:

Patient health questionnaire

The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is an easy-to-use patient questionnaire for screening, diagnosing, monitoring and measuring the severity of depression.

But yes- just because you function, doesn't mean you don't have depression. I was studying for a BA degree and working 21 hours a week in retail when I got a diagnosis of mild to moderate depression.

That's a lot. If you're able, a psychiatrist/therapist might be able to fully diagnose you. There are definitely enough signs to warrant a formal diagnosis if you want one.
