Definitely sounds like depression and don't feel bad about seeking help Lynn because it will pay off. Imagine, if you see a therapist and he is able to diagnose you with the type of depression you are having, followed by a proper treatment (anti-depressants), and when you begin to feel good you will be able to finish your college years with out having to worry about the horrible symptoms of depression.
Soon after your treatment, you'll be able to enjoy life, concentrate on your studies, and at the same time know what type of depression you are suffering from and how to manage it, which will help you for the rest of your career & personal life. Also, as others have pointed out, the doctor-patient relationship remains pretty much confidential, unless you release a medical concent for an employer or a government agency to review these files. Pretty much at this time, statistically so many millions of people suffer from depression that it is as common as flu. You should be ok as soon as you seem help with a counselor or therapist.
