I've been having troubles for the past week or so. I've always been a sort of 'depressed' person. I get these moods sometimes for no reason, where nothing will cheer me up. I've been better for about a year, but the past week, things have gotten worse. I've been having nightmares for the past week, to the point that I'm afraid of going to sleep. I can't tell anymore if I'm awake or dreaming. I'm upset - really depressed, with no reason to be. My life is completely on track. I have a fabulous fiance, I'm at a great school, pretty much I have nothing to complain about, but... I'm still unhappy. I started crying today for no reason. Sometimes, I just want to go to sleep and not wake up. Today I was commuting to work, and started thinking hard (i'm not going to though) about just crashing into the cement highway dividers, and how easy it would be. I don't like thinking this way. What's wrong with me?

I believe depression is usually based off of the severity of the symptoms and the length of time experiencing them.
I would give it another week to make sure it isn't a temporary mood. Make sure you're eating a healthy and balanced diet, take a vitamin, and make sure you're exercising. These will help release your bodies natural endorphins to make you feel more upbeat.
The thoughts of self-harm are a big red flag, though. If these persist, please get help.

Worry warts are generally filled with anxiety issues accordingly. Find out what's been bothering you here lately. An issue of some sort has come up recently that you're not telling us truthfully about I'd imagine. Get real and honest with yourself first. No one else can do it for you. Most people with anxiety simply won't admit it to themselves either. They're too embarrassed to tell anyone really. Grab your boot straps and go see a local therapist for some mild intervention.

Having mental thoughts about offing yourself, are not gonna be good thoughts for you or anyone that loves you quite dearly. Nothing is so terrible that it would ever qualify crashing into the center barrier on purpose for anyways. That kind of thing would cause anyone concern. Seek some therapy quickly. There's probably a clinic real close to you too. Do it...and quit the denial process. Denial will not serve you well obviously...so change things right now.

It certainly sounds so. Take these 3 depression screening quizzes to help you determine the extent of your depression. But remember nothing is certain until you go to a professional.

Or it could be, if you happen to be the worry-worm type, that when things are going good in your life you fear that they'll fall apart again. That's not my best guess though.
Good luck with everything!
