I've been debating starting HRT for a while now, but I don't really know if I should start because of my depression makes me unable to feel excitement or happiness at the prospect of HRT

It would depend on what you expect to get from it I suppose. Is your depression related to gender dysphoria?

I'm not really sure if I have gender dysphoria or not, how can I tell? I definitely get gender euphoria from people calling me a girl and wearing skirts and stuff tho :>

I suggest seeing a therapist related to this. Not all trans people even experience gender dysphoria though, it's not a requirement. Like CW for me it was disgust at my body and general unhappiness with how I had to socialize as a male that led to anorexia to delay puberty and self harm (my entire body is basically covered with thin scars from using a box cutter)
