Look can't diagnose you over a message really but as a medical professional I'll just give you a couple bits of info to do with what you will;
Sometimes people who are depressed don't even know they're depressed, they just experience fatigue, lack of enthusiasm for life, low motivation, reduced sex drive, reduced presonal hygiene etc and pass it off as them being lazy.
You may simply not be getting as much vitamin D as you are used to (you mentioned that you are an exchange student, if the country you are now in is darker than your home country). This can lead to depression, low motivation etc. It would be worth taking a good supplement.
Other than that, maybe you're lacking purpose and drive. We need a goal in life to drive us, otherwise it's very easy to just let your life dissintegrate. A lot of people are experiencing that these days so don't be hard on yourself.

If this started happening recently I have to wonder if it's COVID related. Either COVID itself, or from the vaccines. It sounds like chronic fatigue syndrome which can affect your whole body and your life.
I was sick for a long time, then I received the 2nd COVID vaccine and now I can't hardly do anything. It made my condition a lot worse. Just a thought.
Depression presents differently in different people and its not always about self hate, but certainly includes lack of motivation. Considering you are away from home in a foreign country it is unsurprising, I'd suggest its only mild depression and I'd recommend seeing a counselor. The college you are studying at should have one.
It's pretty normal for people to go through cycles. This is what we used to call being in a funk. You'll probably snap out of it. Maybe make some kind of change in your life to stir things up. Maybe do something crazy and completely not-you.

As a biological organism if most of your basic needs are met, you aren't really designed for so much more of course it doesn't limit but evolution hasn't come this far.. you just have to figure out what's worthwhile to spend your time on, time is a limited resource at least for now.Let me guess: you see the Western women acting like whores and it's upsetting and your heart is grieved on behalf of God and humanity.
