In answer to your crying question, everyone is different in regards to crying. I rarely cry, but many people (men too) cry on a regular basis.
Crying when you're disappointed is just your individual emotional reaction, and there's nothing wrong with that, as long as it makes you feel better. Everyone has their own coping mechanisms, and crying is certainly better than violence. You could always consider some more positive outlets for your disappointment, like hobbies, sports, music, etc...
If your overall outlook on life is good and you feel confident, you're probably not depressed. If you that is not the case and you feel you might be depressed, you should go to:

No, it IS excessive.
If you don't think you are not depressed because your symptoms are not 24/7, well, it's not something that happens 24/7.
You may have mild depression, which allows you to function day to day and cover up what is going on- but you will enjoy life better if you get some help.
Go and see a doctor- the body is a surprisingly fragile thing. Depression can be a symptom of a physical illness, and not always a mental one.
For instance, I was feeling really down, and then I found I was thyroid deficient! After I started taking medication to replace that missing hormone, I felt better mentally and physically.

I was in therapy a few years ago because I had broken up with my boyfriend and was having a really hard time getting over it and she told me that the average emotionally healthy woman cries about once a week. So, I would say you are fine. I think we all feel lonely and disappointed sometimes. But, I'm not a shrink. So, if you think you might really have a problem with depressions see a professional.

No, crying is very good for you. I do it all the time whenever I'm angry or disappointed. It's just a way of letting out your feelings. It's totally normal. Some people cry more than others because they are more sensitive. It's nothing bad as long as you're optimistic and confident. Hope this helps!:)

I don't think you sound like a confident person. I think you are depressed. I think you may have never learned how to cope with life, properly.
I suggest you see a counselor for talk therapy and read some books on how to cope better.
Also, you need to understand that making good decisions is key to a happier life and that in life there are never any guarantees. We all have heartache, disappointments, etc.
Do you have a relationship with God? If not, that is one great way to become less frustrated with life.

It does sound like you are depressed. I suggest taking some nice brisk walks when ever the crying mood hits you. Try involving yourself in extra activities. Join a club. If the extra activity doesn't help, then I recommend talking with a professional. Are you going to school? High school? I know that either college or high school there are school counselors that are there for you. Search them out.

Aww, you're normal don't worry at all! If you feel down and that nothing can cheer you up, try and figure out what it is that is actually causing this before jumping to conclusions. Sometimes crying and letting it out of your system is the best way forward. But if it gets worse you need to see someone about it just to talk things through. Good luck !:)

Depression can be nutritional or bio-chemical or even event triggered.
To rule out the simplest, make sure you are eating grilled meats, complex carbs and good fats like olive oil.
If you are eating white flour products, sugar, corn syrup etc . . . eliminate the junk. If you are still down after a week of healthy eating, visit your doctor and have a talk.
(could also be hormones - pregnant or menopause ?)

You have to get a grip on yourself, and toughen up. Life is not easy, and you can't fall apart at the seam when hardships come your way. Deal with them maturely. Crying does no good at all in these situation, and leave an impression on others that you just can cut it in life.
