clinical depression?
how do you know if you are seriously depressed..being unhappy is a reoccuring thing for me, and i mean really unhappy. its getting to the point that i wanna run away and just be somewhere completely different. no worries and no hurt. i feel like i have nothing but occasional faith. and thats not enough..

I've dealt with depression and I understand it's not fun. I think the first thing you should do is seek medical help.

The only way to know for sure would be to see a doctor. Before you go you can look at a list of symptoms to see where you think you stand.

Please do not use this to self-diagnose. You really do need to see a doctor if, after reading that, you still believe you may be clinically depressed. Self-diagnosises are usually very far off.
Everyone gets depressed at some point or another in their lives. I have for sure and, not to say I understand what you are feeling, because frankly, nobody can, but I've had feelings similar to what you described. The thing is, thinking like that isn't going to get you anywhere, it's just going to make you feel worse. Thinking that you can just leave and find a happy place to live is very unrealistic. No matter where you go or how much you try to run away from things they'll still be there. Find a realistic way to deal with your problems that is actually going to work. Things aren't hopeless for you if you work for them not to be.
My advice: First, you should see a doctor to find out if you do have a diagnosable problem. If you do, you can get help for it. You'll go on and have a very happy, completely not depressing future. If you don't have a diagnosable problem, you can still get help. There are lots of support groups out there, not to mention friends and family if you reach out to them like you did to us.
Life isn't so bad. It's a constant struggle, but if you have the right attitude you can make it fun. Good luck! :)

Well.
If you are clinically depressed that would mean that even when everything is going right you still feel sad.
I just suggested to someone that they keep track of their feelings in a journal.
Write down when you feel these thoughts and why you might feel them. If something bad happened like a fight with a friend or at home and you feel like running away or depressed because of that then I would have to say that you are not clinically depressed, as in having depression, but are just upset.
If something or everything is going good and nothing bad has happened recently and you just feel run down, fatigued, loss of interest in activitys for no apparent reason, than you might be clinically depressed and would have to get an evaluation by a doctor to then go on medicine.
You can take a self test online, print the results and take them to your physician for further testing.
