Is it normal to be depressed because of a lack of satisfaction?

I tend to get depressed or down on myself because I don't get fulfilled very easily. You know they say find something you love and keep doing it. Well I have a few things I like and I do them as a hobby but it doesn't necessarily "fulfill" me. I also have trouble committing to something because one day it does fulfill me and the next, it doesn't impact me in any way. It sucks because its out of my control so it seems like I can't do anything about it. This also happens with people, too, which could be bad. One day I like them and enjoy them then the next, I find them annoying or I just don't care for them as much, then later I realize I was rude to them and feel bad then show them how thankful I am for them. Its just never stable with me and that can cause me to be down.

    Those hobbies sound more like consuming ones than creation ones. While there is fun to be found in fullfilling pursuits, the vast majority of it is pain.

    Cramming for an exam, getting a new personal best for your deadlift, writing the next chapter in your book--these are hard things you'll not want to do, but doing those help you sleep at night knowing the day was not wasted.
