Should I tell him how I feel?

Okay, so, weird-ish situation here: all my life I’ve suffered from really bad social anxiety and depression, and, needless to say, high school was pretty much a *****. I got made fun of a lot, had several different eating disorders, and practiced self-harm, but it’s been two years since I left school and I’ve recovered from a lot of the emotional trauma.
In high school, I had a huge crush on this guy I was sort of friends with. He was a good friend of my best friend and he was always really nice and never made fun of me. He tried to talk to me a lot even though I pretty much acted like I was mute, and even kept in touch for a while after I had a mental breakdown and dropped out. It’s been about a year since we’ve talked and I was really in love with him; every time I think I’ve got over it these lingering feelings always come back and like…linger. He’s gone off to college and I’m going to start applying to schools this year, and so we’ll probably never see each other again and I kind of want to just want to call him and say ‘hey, I’m in love with you’ (like, I literally want to pick up the phone and just say exactly that) so he can say ‘whatever **** off’ because even if he does actually tell me to **** off and get the hell out of his life, then I’ll at least have some kind of closure. Should I?
