Confused and don't know what to do

So I ( 23m) recently got diagnosed with a moderate depressive episode with somatic symptoms.( Copied it off my diagnosis code) And general anxiety disorder, I got put on medication for my anxiety and depression. I don't really have that many people I could talk to, I live alone and I don't know how long I can stay functioning every day I feel a bit more and more fatigued. I am also very scared to open up to people ( parents, friends) I feel like if I did open up and did talk I'd end up hurting them instead I'd end up tiring or annoying them . So to speak i am alone on purpose I do have people I just don't want to get them involved.

Oh I'm new to using Reddit and new to this sub I always used to lurk instead ( so my apologies if it came out half assed or if I broke any rules)
