Maybe I will never be, all the things that I want to be,
Now is not the time to cry, now's the time to find out why.
I think you're the same as me, we see things they'll never see.
You and I are gonna live forever.

There are a couple ways to find out if you have depression or not.

There are plenty of online free tests that you can take. They are not a hundred percent accurate, they are to be used as a guide not as a diagnosis. By taking them you can get an idea of what is happening to you. If tests indicate you have depression or you aren't convinced then a visit to a doctor should clear it up for you. You can go see your local GP but remember that they only know the basics in relation to depression. For a more "in depth" diagnosis or discussion then you should so talk to a specialist.

Here is a link to one such test.
