Labels are practically useless, especially in the case of sexuality. Try not to box yourself in with the use of labels. It can be nice to have others who you feel have similar ways of life/preferences, etc. but don't allow a feeling of wanting to belong override who you truly are if that is the case here.

You have plenty of time to test the waters and see where you stand. Gain some experience into your own needs and desires, then place a label on yourself should you so choose. Focus more on treatment that can alleviate your depressive and anxiety symptoms.

If you'd rather have a personal anecdote than practical insight:
I thought for about a year that I was asexual to find out that isn't the case. I have been dealing with depression most of my life, so to say that could have played a role isn't much of a stretch.

And whoever may consider you "broken" or in need of being "fixed" is not worth your time. Stand your ground and don't allow them to treat you as such.
