Can weight loss exacerbate depression?

I've had depression my whole life and have gained weight in the last few years. About a month ago I decided I've had enough and started to commit to losing weight and I've lost 8 lbs so far and I'm happy about that but at the same time my depression has gotten really bad. I'm constantly having negative thoughts about how I'm fat and worthless and lazy and I feel guilty whenever I eat because I feel like it's too much and if I were normal and disciplined I would be doing better with diet and exercise. It's emotionally painful and exhausting and I have days where I struggle doing basic things.

Is this a temporary/normal thing? I want to/need to lose weight but I hate feeling like this.
