Is this depression or somthing else?

Question

Well i do have some characteristics of depression, but i'm not sure if this can be something else entirely;

During nighttime, when the whole house is sleeping, out of nowhere i start thinking about just this one subject about staying FOREVER in heaven, and i mean forever, think about it. Like that book Tuck Everlasting, in 5th grade when we read it my teacher made me think. even before that when i was extremely young i always thought about death and would cry a lot about it. no one knew though.
it seems like a lame reason to get racing thoughts and start panicking in the middle of the night for i know, but i can never properly explain to you the feelings i get. 

lets see i also sleep usually around 1 or 2 am and when i was younger (im 15 in Jan) i would sleep at even 4 or 5am. no doubt im the last to go to sleep in the house, and the last to wake up as well. it doesnt bother me though.
I easily starting losing interest in certain things nowadays, and everything seems so BORING. it feels like if you place anyone at all in front of me, whether their famous or w/e, i couldnt care less.
I'm desi if that matters, and well i'm moody i suppose. 
There's probably more but i missed it, help?

You definitely have some form of a depressive disorder, which may be minor depression.  But the sleeping habits are a total different concern.  I think may have narcolepsy, where you sleep at abnormal times and even a minor case of Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) where you lose attention.  I am not guaranteeing you have these, but it definitely looks like it.  You may have another mood or sleep disorder, but this is how you really find out; I would highly recommend by first talking to a responsible adult, be it your parents or your school guidance counselor.  Tell them about this and ask them if you can see a therapist.  I would recommend you start of by seeing a therapist and then a Psychiatrist; they will give you a full evaluation and find out what is exactly wrong with you. There is non-medical therapy and medication out there to help you; either one or both may be right for you.  Based on your case, I think a combination of both is a good choice.  I hope you take my advice and I wish you the best of luck in your therapy.
BTW, I'm desi too! :)

It sounds like you are having depression and stress   at the same time and that must be really hard especially staying up so late and then have to get up for school.Can you talk with your school counselor or even your mom or an friend of the family as it should be looked into and see if you may need some therapy and treatment.I have the same type of things and i am so stressed i do not sleep till 3am and then get my son u at 6.30 am ' and i drag all day long' and without sleep our minds can play tricks on us and make things look so much worse' when it's a minor problem..Well Good luck Hon and talk to someone to get yourself feeling better SOON  OK.
