What is wrong with me?
Okay, here's my story.
I am a teenage boy, my parents are together, I have a pretty good family life, I have a decent number of friends and live in a good area. I don't do any drugs and such. I am generally happy person, Im the one who won't stop joking even in the most serious situations.
Quite often though, when I'm alone, I fall into a depressive state. And I say depressed but I don't know what this means because I've never been evaluated on my mental health. And it's very sudden when it happens. Recently, it has gotten much worse. It has been more often and lasted longer. I don't not cut or have suicidal thoughts because I don't beleive in those things.
I don't know what this is and wonder if I should go to the doctors.

Ignore the other person, it isn't just your personality type. I can say this because I am in the exact same position as you. I went to see a therapist, and I was diagnosed with depression. He suggested medicine, but I refused. Nothing is "wrong" with you, but you may be in the exact same position as I am. Talk to someone, because my problem was I just tried to always look happy and never let people know how I felt, and that caused bigger problems.

I don't think there is anything wrong with you, it might just be your personality type. For instance, I'm the opposite of you. I'm a introvert; I like being alone compared to being around others.
