Is it normal that i always feel like crying?

I constantly feel like crying, and I never smile. Even when I talk to my family (mum dad and sister, and also my brother when he phones or visits) I love my family but I feel bad because when they talk to me I just feel like crying and feel sad all the time which makes it hard to talk or answer anything other than just saying a yes or no in response, or a simple "mm." There's so much I wish I could say to SOMEONE, but I just can't. I never have anything positive to say, unless it's about some small thing like a picture I drew, a story I wrote, or something completely made up like a scenario I made in my head. And don't get me started on when I try to talk about my feelings and what upsets me to anyone, I break down crying which makes it impossible to explain it or talk about it. It's just I'm lonely and I know there's nothing anyone can do to change it, because of some "reasons" which I will not list. It's hard for me to crack a smile. The only person I really talk at length to about anything is my younger sister (who's 15). I also have a lot of intrusive thoughts worrying about the future and thinking about my parents getting old and dying or something bad happening to my family, and how I wish I could say I love them but not knowing how because that would be awkward to just bring up for no reason or whatever. I just feel sad all the time, for different reasons. Mainly the loneliness and yearning for a young male companion. Am I depressed?

    It is... it's okay, it will pass and you will grow into an adult with the ability to overcome anything life throws at you. Don't worry about it too much okay? Start Journaling

      I hope so, but my depression is mainly because I am technically an "adult" (I'm 25) but I'm basically 12, think a 12 year old who has been on the planet for 25 years. I just want to go back to being a kid. That's really the cause of my depression.

        I felt the same, and let me tell you.. it can pead you down a sad path, where you keep expecting the world to apologize and things to be mended. Just know you can overcome despite whatever you faced. You really can, give yourself peace and the life you deserve. Be kind to yourself and adress the trauma that you carry.

    Start telling people/ or writing things your grateful for.. I know it sounds cheese but it actually works. Lot of research on it

      I do that but it still feels like there's something missing.

    I think you need professional help and I don't say that lightly

      Nope. I don't trust any professionals. I will never tell them my TRUE problem. Because I see them as authority figures.

        Yeah but they're the gatekeepers to the happy pills

          yeaah, no thanks. I'd rather not be put on drugs thanks. People have been screwed up permanently by being on drugs upon drugs and anti-depressants etc. I'm also a hypochondriac and get squeamish to think about it

            I think you're being too dismissive of something that could potentially fix your problems but ok

              Literally every single person I know who has gone on anti-depressants or medication gets some horrible side effects as a result of it.
