Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Our advice should never be taken as a diagnosis or as the definitive word on seeing a doctor or not. We can't and do not do that. Only a psychiatrist can tell you if you have depression or any kind of mental illness.
However, what you are describing sure isn't normal for most people and isn't with you. Can you remember when everything in your world turned so dark and what the trigger was? If you can figure that out and reverse negative thoughts with good ones than it's not a disease it's a mindset you adopted that you can fix.
However, if none of this is going away and it sounds like that's the case bypass your family doctor and go to emergency and describe the state of your life right now, feelings, cutting people off etc. etc. as that does sound like a mental-health issue.
If your quality of life is adversely affected and there's no hope in sight and only constant darkness, fear, and total inability to function normally than go to the ER. A psychiatrist will assess the problem and diagnose it and provide treatment.
You'll have to be patient but over time you would be back to who you were before. And believe me it is a medical crisis and an emergency to warrant going to a hospital immediately.
That's where a family doctor would send you at this point. Family doctors don't diagnose this disease correctly half the time. It's a psychiatrist's job.
Unless they believe you are a danger to yourself or others they won't keep you longer than 72 hours but if they think you need the temporary residential program as treatment go along with it. This is the kind of drop everything get this fixed immediately situation.
As far as your present boyfriend goes if he's making you miserable all the time that's not love and it's not fair. Put him in his place or move on without him as it would make you happier long-term. But for now go to an ER and learn what's at the root of these issues. Be 100% honest with them too as it won't help otherwise. Tell them what you told us. That's a place to start.
