Depression symptoms
I have been under tremendous work and relationship stress and tensions for some weeks and end up crying almost every night. Lately I have noticed that I am sleeping excessively for 9 10 hours and still feel sleepy, losing interest in things i loved, i almost do nothing all day, don't feel like studying,cry often and wish I wasn't born, prefer to be alone and disconnect from people. I have also gained weight lately and missed periods in October ( haven't been sexually active since July) . I am scared. Am I suffering from depression?

Madam,
Firstly Don't Diagnose yourself.
it can be depression/ anxiety/ obsessive thoughts/ personality issues or a totally different diagnosis.
please visit a psychiatrist in person and get yourself evaluated, if you wish to get out of this miserable situation.
