You Might Be Depressed
It does sound like you are depressed. I've been there. I think the most important thing to do is talk to someone you trust, ask for support, and seek counsel of doctors if you need to. Be encouraged; you are worth it.

You Could Be Depressed And It's Important to Talk to Someone
hating_life...it sounds like you need to talk to someone. If you EVER have thoughts of suicide, you need to talk with someone...regardless of your age. It's easier for someone else to tell you to stop worrying...it's not so easy to stop the worrying though! Do you have a close friend/family member you can talk too? You are worth this life you have....tell yourself you are are worth it. Life is crummy and sometimes you get bad cards! I hate when people make it seem like life is perfect all the time...it's not. It's just how you learn to cope with the bad cards you are dealt at times. So take a deep breath, tell yourself you are worth it, and find that special someone you can talk too. If you can afford it, try a therapist, but if not, find a friend...we are here as well to listen!
You're worth it...

Its important for you to know that even if you are depressed there is nothing wrong with you. In fact just like the_girlfriend said, if anything this makes you more normal.

I felt just like that and it all started when I was around 18. Just dont start doing drugs or running from how you are feeling. The simple fact that you are hear asking questions is a plus. Keep searching for answers to your questions, one day that will lead you to someone or something that helps. Dont give up and let these feelings take over!

My problem has been going five months and counting. And you're right, I don't think it's ever going to change. Another thing that's happening has been going on for a few weeks, but that's sure to go away within a few months at the most.
