I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you may have received and may continue to receive from others.
From what little you have written, and after the research I have done on non-melancholic depression, it would be hard to pin point what exactly you suffer from. Then again none of us on this web site are doctors and do not and should not make any diagnoses. I do believe, from what you have written that you may suffer from some sort of depression, especially if this problem has gone on for more than two weeks.
Knowing your age and sex might help understand why you are feeling this way but you have not provided them. One in three people suffer from some form of depression. My feelings on this are it is a sign of the fast paced world we live in and the expectations placed on us by ourselves and others. This causes extreme amounts of stress and stress is a key factor in depression.
My advice is that you first see you family doctor. Tell the doctor how you are feeling. The doctor will first give you a complete physical to make sure there is no physical reason for you feeling this way. Then the doctor should screen you for depression or send you to another doctor for screening.
If you are suffering from depression; of the many types there are most are easily controlled through medication and in some cases talk therapy too. How do I know this? I have suffered for many years from clinical depression, which is caused by an imbalance of the chemical serotonin. I take pills to correct the imbalance and my depression is in remission.
So see your doctor, find out what is really wrong. If you are suffering from depression the medication will take a week or two to take effect and then you will start to feel better.
