Is it normal to always feel depressed/alone?

No matter how much money is made,no matter what I have or don't have,no matter where I am,there is the deep trench in my chest of pure,cold,and solemn sadness.This is not for attention.It is what it is.I am at my happiest when creating some of my artwork or sometimes with my friend.I think that gives me a chance to vent and let out this sadness and depressed feeling.But other than that,it's always there.I smile.Laugh.Joke around.Some people only know me as being happy and funny and all that.Is this normal?
Is this a depressive disorder?

    "No matter how much money is made..." there's your problem. The fact that you started the question with money as if that would make anyone feel less lonely tells it all...

    I think that if these feelings are effecting you on a day to day basis and you are having trouble at school or college or work then, maybe it is time to seek help. I know what you are going through and it is frustrating. It is frustrating because even if everything in your life is great, you just can't enjoy it. You hone in on the one little negative aspect of a situation and can't stop thinking about it. Also, don't listen to people who say you are "emo". They clearly have never suffered from a mental illness. I have had depression and it is important to seek some help and maybe see a psychologist if you feel that would be appropriate for your situation. Your doctor may or may not prescribe you medication depending on the severity of your depression.

    Please get some help, things don't alway have to feel like this. I know it is hard and it is scary but most people are more understanding than you think. Take care and good luck!

    I think if you can't function day to day it's a problem. It's OK to feel sad - life on earth is sad, especially when you're alone or have been for a while. That's pretty normal. Nothing wrong with seeking a bit of attention, either, just don't expect results in this world. I hope your social circumstances improve, humans are social by nature.

  • hmm well the way uv discribed it like "pure cold sollem sadness" is abit of an attention seekers descripion like in the emo way be happy that you have stuff instead of being one of the real troubled people that doesnt know what they want to say if they are sad or happy

    I'm the exact same way. I hate living a lie. At least you have a friend(s).

    find a christian church (pentecostal preferably but Assemblies of God works as well as other) and join. let them know how you feel if your comfortable and hopefully it'll help (it normally helps)

    You may have depression (like me) but I would suggest you see a doctor or buy some prozac.
    (time for sarcasm)
    ALSO CUTTING YOUR WRISTS MAKES THE PAIN GO AWAY! :D

      well, cutting your wrist is certainly no better than prozac.
