Are these signs of depression or something else?

I get bored at everything, even things that I enjoy. I often imagine myself in the company of my sister, who lives in Canada, and/or some imaginary friends I have created out of my envy of my best friends new friends after she moved to Texas. I still hang out with my 'tangible' friends from time to time, but if I think about it, I end up not enjoying myself. I was suicidal about two years ago, but I thought that had passed. One of my classmates said that 'suicidal people never really become not suicidal.' Is that true. Sometimes, or rather often, actually, I find myself getting angry or sad over scenarios that I play over in my head that haven't actually happened.

Can anyone tell what's wrong with me? Has anyone else felt this way?

Thank you for your answers, whatever they may be...

Update:

I'm also taking prescription Amitriptyline, which was created as an anti-depressant. But those are for my headaches...

    We can't diagnose you, only a doctor can. But, speaking from the experience of someone who went undiagnosed for many years. I'd say go to the doctor and get some help, if nothing else evaluate the Amitriptyline for possible side effects. These could be either symptoms of depression or they could also be effects from the Amitriptyline.

    But remember, if at first you don't like a doctor's opinion don't be afraid to ask for a second. It may save you years of problems and inability to access the correct treatment.

    I have been suffering from post partum depression for the past one year when I gave birth to a baby boy. I couldn't stop thinking about how my husband loves him more than me and how things might be better if he wasn't born at all. Thus, I stayed away from him because I knew that I might do something I will regret for the rest of my life.

    Almost instantly I went to a therapist and convince them that I need help. Among other things, I've tried herbal supplements and other book to treat depression but nothing works like the Depression Free Method. So now I'm proud to say I'm one of the happiest mother in the world. My husband loves us both very much and I thank the Lord for the blessing he gave us.
