Answers:
Firstly - see a doctor to find if you are CLINICALLY depressed
This doesnt mean down, feeling sorry for yourself - its a lack of seratonin (or dopamine sometimes) in the brain. Makes u feel down and apathetic - cant be bothered trying. Thats not the "i hate myself,Im so ugly and pointless" depression, its real illness. It can be very subtle - you might find you just feel flat, cant get excited about anything - not slitting your wrists and walllowing in self pity - just a general air of "whats the point?" Thats the kind of depression that is chemical - easily remedied but so easy to miss, before it becomes deeply ingrained in your thought processes. If you recognise this, see a doc and stop it now.
If you dont recognise this and youre just being introspective- maybe its just life. No-one is up all the time. Take a serious look at yourself- what would make you happy? Is it that you just think you should be? Is it you think others are happier?
In this case take control of your feelings and your life. The one thing you have control over is your brain and your thoughts. Go out, do new things, create new pathways in your brain for pointless things that cheer you up - nothing wrong with being shallow after all.
Dogs and cats are happy cos they dont stress about the meaning of life - they dont analyse. We have a lot to learn from them
