Is it normal to feel sad all the time?

Every since I was teenager I felt empty. I was happy, but I just felt empty and sad for some reason. Now I'm grown and I really feel so sad. I want to be a in a dark room with no light at all. And just cry my eyes out. I don't know why I feel so down. I do cry a lot, I'm very sensitive. Sometimes I get so mad that I cry. I can't hold back the tears even when I try to. I feel lost and don't know what to do with my life. My family doesn't understand me and I feel very lonely, so lonely. Sadness will not go away, but yet I smile everyday to cover it up. I don't know what's causing me to be so sad. Is this normal?

    its not good to feel that way i do some times and i think my life isnot worth but i get back on my feet. your case is difficult maybe you have hormonal problems i dont thinks its psychiatric but medical or u need to seek GOD if u are a believer it helps me alot talking to space knowing He is listening. there is a reason and if its not medical then u should listen to yourself to find the cause. maybe get a partner to keep u jolly, a trip....u could come to my country its more slow and relaxing, whatever can lift ur spirit.

    I have felt the same way. I think you can feel lonely even when you have 'friends' and family. It is easy to say you have depression, go take some pills.. But that does not help in the long run. Why not try to figure out where the source is?.. Maybe you feel inactive, low confidence, need a change in friends, need to travel.. Do something that you like to keep your mind active.

    I don't think the solution is to go to the doctors and ask for prescription because of a brain 'unbalance'. Pills just cover what is there, it does not solve it.

    This post describes me. Clearly and word for word. I feel the exact same way. I've cried myself to sleep countless nights and I don't know why I just feel so sad

    Just a state of mind...You can easily be as happy if you just wanted to be

    You probably have depression. Please see a doctor, you can't help the feelings you have, it's a chemical imbalance in your brain. It will help.

      I told my doctor and she put me on Lexapro depression pills. It helped for a year and then stopped working.
