You made a brave and positive step by getting some help for your depression, especially when many with depression are unable to muster energy to do anything, even get out of bed. Good for you. Medications can take up to three months to make a difference in brain chemistry, so please be patient and give them time.

There is much hope and very good odds you WILL feel better. Be good to yourself, hon.

I'm just feeling a strong urge to confess and admit to myself something that I've been denying for years..

I have a terribly low self-esteem
I feel like a total failure, something totally worthless and a shame for humanity.

I have no friends .. I cannot make friends at all I really suck in this

I lack to self confidence, and people can easily sense that.

I've been living alone for around 4 years. I used to love to think of myself as: a strong, independent woman. However, the truth is I'm nowhere from being strong
I was lying to myself and everyone around me the whole time.. pretending that I'm someone I'm not.
maybe it's the other way around. Maybe you are independent and strong and the insecurity is just an illusion. Maybe when you look in the mirror you see something different than others see because you doubt yourself. Take the doubt away and look closer. Which is the reality what you think you are or what person you want to be.

hug for you. I've felt alon before, especially because i'm very shy and suspicious. But don't overdose. You can find people. There's beautiful things everywhere. don't lose them. Losing touch on reallity is okay, in the words of Alice, "I think of 16 impssible things before breakfast."
Let your imagination keep you safe, and look everywhere for a friend. It might seem it, but it doesn't ever hurt anyone to try.
