Is it normal to be..
Is it normal to be depressed about not knowing your purpose in life? Depressed like it randomly puts you in a not so great mood and you walk around feeling sad.. not suicidal or anything. Also, any suggestions how to come out of this mood of constant unhappiness?

no one knows their perpose in life right away. it takes a lot of failer and a lot of let-downs untill we find what we are looking for. but it is very common to get depressed over this. and of course if you are feeling this way, why would you be happy? but let me tell you a little secret. even know you don't know your purpose yet, you still have a purpose in life. everyone has a calling. you will find yours in time, i promise you. and to get out of the mood you are in, just remember that everything and everyone has something worth living for. so when you find your purpose in life, and take note i said when, you will feel complete and content. look forward to this. and that should give you a cure to your unhappiness.

Yes, we've all feel that way at some point; We're only human. What it is is a chemical imbalance. You have to increase your endorphins.
One way to do this is by exercise. People don't really take this seriously, but it's a proven fact, and I can personally speak for it. Endorphins are released during long, continuous workouts, when the level of intensity is between moderate and high, and breathing is difficult. This can be done via physical activities like running, biking, playing sports, or working out.
You could also try listening to happy, upbeat music. Songs that are fun or maybe some older songs that you associate happy memories with. Don't listen to music that gets you down. Surround yourself with positive influences, which also includes people. If there are negative or sarcastic people around you, they won't help. Hang out with people that make you smile and laugh.

Purpose, the age old question, why am I here? To learn and grow. Is it that simple, no, but it's where you start. The Human Being is a combining of two things, the Human animal and the spiritual Being. The purpose in life is to let the spirit lead and control in order to grow stronger.
Don't mistake depression for your need to reflect on the hard questions in life and don't let things like this determine how you treat others. Many people get yelled at, then turn and yell at the next person to come along. That person has just given their control to someone else, why would you want to do that?
Act upon a situation, not react. You are reacting to thoughts going through your head and allowing that to control what you do and they are totally unrelated to your actions. Act upon each situation separate from your pondering of life's questions.
I have given you the place to start, let your life and your spirit teach you the rest.
Your response to me was:
Being upset doesn't mean treating others poorly. Otherwise, good advice.
Now the 3 rating doesn't bother me, I don't care about ratings, but where the heck does this response come from. I never advised you, or suggested that you should treat others poorly, I advised you to not treat others poorly just because someone else does something to you, or that your confused about thoughts running through your head. You should read my post again and stop taking me out of context.
Now if you were trying to say I implied that you are, I was not, but I guess I could see a place where you might have taken it that way, but it is not what your response says to me. When I talked about reacting, that was to say that you are reacting to your thoughts negatively causing you to act differently, change your mood and make you sad and this can lead to you treating others improperly, maybe I didn't explain that properly. I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough for you. I'm sorry if that sounds like I have an attitude, but it is not meant to sound that way, just my bluntness showing again.
