Idk if you are a girl or guy, i cant tell by your display name. If you are a girl... your menstral cyccle might be chaning which will give you mood swings as far as making you man for no reason or depressed and you just do know why. If you are on birth control this will happen to you too. Or you might be experiencing a different stage in your life, and stress can also cause this. If you are a guy you might be experiencing stress that you dont even know about which can also give you mood swings like anger or depression too, and you might be growing into more of maturity. I'm not sure how old you are, so these can be things you can experience if you are a young adult, teen or preteen. I hope ive helped

Maybe your just plain unhappy with your life choices. Maybe you have been telling yourself you were happy and after all this time it's weighing on you. Most people who are depressed don't notice it until they hit bottom,Finacialy or Emotionaly. Talk to your doctor,or just talk to a good friend and explain how you feel. They are good life counselors that will help too. And it really does work spilling your guts to a stranger! You don't ever have to see them again if you don't want to! LOL Sometimes it takes talking to someone to understand yourself a little better.

In order to better answer your question, one would have to know more. How young or old are you? Are you going through adolescence or not much more older than high school or college age?
Have you used illegal drugs or alcohol? Is your weight and physical health good? Do you exercise regularly?
Best you consult a psychologist, psychiatrist, and a trusted friend, preferably someone who has much more wisdom than your age level.

Try a change in lifestyle. A good diet to get you in a better mood! Maybe take a walk once in a while. Take up gardening. Go golfing. Spend time around people who can make you smile. Things will get better! Keep your chin up.

Chemical imbalance in the brain...unless your depression was triggered by an event, which it doesn't sound like
