No. God may call a person to solitude, but not to loneliness. And he certainly does not call a person to depression--but there may be things within the believer (outlook, misconceptions, past abuse, perhaps, and so forth), his or her environment, and/or his or her body that cause depression.
God can heal your depression. This requires submitting to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who--if you seek God's will for your life--will point out all of the misconceptions and misperceptions you are operating under. It requires full trust and faith in God--because when one is certain of God's will in his or her life, depression vanishes and is replaced by energy, faith, and hope.
It could be a process that may take some time. You may wish to seek out Christian counseling, and you may even require the help of a medical professional in treating depression symptoms so that you can better manage the spiritual work you will have to undergo.
In any event, you are not going insane. You just have some problems, some very human, normal, understandable difficulties.
I would be willing to talk more to you about all of this if you want to email me. Click on my avatar and then click "email" or whatever.
But do know that God, who may call people to lives of self-sacrifice, solitude, deprivation, and so forth, never causes mental illness, and always provides comfort and fellowship with one who seeks his will. That is, there is no reason to be lonely with the love and mercy of Christ in your life.
Best to you.

God doesn't. THE ENEMY comes to steal and kill and destroy. Loneliness and Depression are two of his tools. Associating with evil people just makes it easier for him.

I think that as strict christian we are taught "My self esteem comes with no bother, 'cause I'm made in the image of my heavenly father", but clincal depression is a real disease. I urge you to talk to a doctor about this! No man is created to suffer indefintley (not even Job). Keep the faith! Good luck

Good is a creation of man's mind. Nothing else. Faith in his (hers,it) existence becomes the truth. And truth is the faith.

This question does not make sense.
