Yes, the way you feel is normal. Everyone gets sad at times. You enjoy yourself when you are with your boyfriend and are happy. You are just being realistic. Life is full of ups and downs. Just enjoy the ups and do things that you enjoy.

u might be depressed if its more then ur happy times

chemical imbalance.

Reality can be sad. It doesn't seem that you are a depressed person since you seem to get happy when happy things happen. You should consider seeing a shrink one or two times to see if there is a deep sadness in you from the past that keeps on coming to the surface when you encounter bad memories.

no it think ur normal somebody who is depressed is when they wake up feeling like they no longer want to live never smile when there other half comes up or never want to get out of bed any many more so i don't think its that .

it depends on what you consider to be "bad" things and what you are sad about...if you consider relatively normal things to be bad then there may be an issue. If you are sad about daily life there may be an issue.

have you tried St. john's Wort? I swear by it but it DOES lower the effectiveness of birth control so be careful...

You sound emotional, which is considered normal for a woman. Being realistic, even in sad situations, doesn't mean you have to be depressed though.
After being diagnosed with cancer, and reversing it with hormones, (despite being told vehemently to have surgery), I made a vow to myself not to harbor strong bad emotions. Not that I never cried, .. I mean my Mom died not too long after I had my diagnosis which I managed to hide from my family, but I refuse to let it have a deep spiraling effect. I do this for my own good, and I'm pretty serious about it. So far, so good, over 5 years survival without surgery, etc. Depression is a luxury I can't afford.
