Can being fearful make you depressed?

I think I beat myself for being afraid of delving into a relationship. I was afraid things wouldn't go right... like I wouldn't be myself...a fear that may sound irrational to most... BUT feels rational to me because right now, I am not only unable to be myself, but have lost sight of my dreams, my aspirations, my beliefs.. things that matter to me.

So, in all, instead of conquering the fear, and learning to live with faith, I've become depressed.

My question is, do I have to target the fear first in order to resolve my depression? Do you think that's the root cause? If so, how do you rid of fear and live with complete faith?

ALSO, can the fear of failure make you feel uncertain about what it is you want? Because I definitely feel uncertain about things I KNOW I want...to the point where I feel indifferent towards them. But I'm not sure where this feeling of indifference comes from.
