I have a friend exactly like you- and i definitly think that it isn't normal to be so sad. I say that you should really think of things that you like, and u should rely on them when ur down. I do also get very sad sometimes, but if u think of it as... you only get one life so try and live a nice happy life. None of thinking bad thoughts.
The best thing to do is to talk to someone. Anyone who you feel comfortable with but preferably someone with the maturity/life experience to give you good advice. If you have been feeling this way for a while (i.e. two weeks or more) you may want to make an appointment with your GP to discuss they way you have been feeling and together you can find a solution to your problem.
That solution may not be anti-depressants, it is entirely up to you. The majority of people do suffer adverse affects from taking medication though and since you always start on a very low dose, those effects are minimized even more. From personal experience, I find the best thing is combination of therapy and medication but it is all about finding the best solution for you :)
Take care and good luck!
