Do I Have Depression or Is It Something Else?

Question by Smitten x3: Do I have depression or is it something else?
Sometimes when I’m doing a lot or with friends (ie have my mind on something else) I won’t be depressed; However other times when I’m not doing much or I’m by myself I go back to be extremely depressed. It goes on and off, would that be bipolar, depression, I really have no clue.

I’ve talked with people about it but never a doctor or counselor.
Thanks (:
It’s been going on for about 4 or 5 years now, I meant the beginning part because it only goes away when I have a lot of things to do to distract me.
Hope that helps?
Thanks again for your help
Oh! I forgot to write this before, my mother, sister, 2 aunts, 1 uncle, and my grandmother all have/had depression. That’s what lead the to this conclusion in the first place.
