Edward,
It certainly sounds to me like you could be depressed. Not all depressed people look alike. I think you've read descriptions of one particular type of depression. You might want to take a look at the following page on atypical depression (despite the name atypical is not atypical)
http://www.psycom.net/depression.central.atypical.html
These descriptions might feel more familiar to you.You ask how you can know if you are depressed. One way is to wait for the AD's to work. When you stop being depressed it suddenly gets very easy to tell the difference.
Hang in there. Life gets better after 17.
Jane
