what do I do if I think I have depression?

I've been thinking I have depression for a few years now, I just thought I was sad because I had a hard childhood but it doesn't end. And it doesn't take much for me to feel like my world is crumbling down. I feel like I don't know what I want to do with my life and I'd rather give up then keep fighting this shit fest. I'm so sick of feeling like a bother and an annoyance to people. I try to keep myself and others happy but you really have to choose one. I'm so sick of feeling the way I do. How do I know I have depression or even go about getting treatment?
