How would people here determine the difference between the two states?

Ive hated myself for about 30 years now, no self-worth whatsoever, but have always tried to portray a false sense of optimism when dealing with others.

However, I feel its coming back to haunt me now, and interfere in my working life, which ive managed to keep seperate for now.

My work colleagues reckon Ive lost my 'focus', and am making loads of stupid mistakes on a daily basis. Inside my mind, im constantly fatigued, and miserable.

Would that qualify as 'going through a bad spell' or depression? Also, would anyone recommend me battling it out and 'riding the storm', or seek medical help?
