Chronic Depression…?

Can you have chronic depression but still be happy most of the time?
Like I just feel like somethings wrong with me I have lots of the symptoms

empty feeling
Difficulty sleeping (sleeping too much or too little)
Insomnia (early morning awakening)- (Sometimes, It was happening a lot just recently, but know it just seems like I have trouble falling asleep)
Feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness- I just randomly have these feelings, I will feel so happy and on top of the world, and be having a good time then just have bad feelings, no suicidal thoughts or anything major and I’m not bipolar
Feelings of guilt- this is a major one
Loss of energy or fatigue
Difficulty concentrating, thinking or making decisions
loss of appetite
Observable mental and physical sluggishness
Persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment

I have been having lots of trouble sleeping and have been feeling super tired along with these other things, the other day I came home from school and slept from 4 to 8 woke up and went back to bed at 11 and then woke up at 7:30 the next day, I have also had an off eating schedule, I haven’t been eating much at all or feeling hungry today is the first day I ate a full meal (dinner) in a while. I just don’t know what’s going on I have a happy life for the most part, Great friends a good family, is it still possible for me to have depression?
Thanks

Perhaps you are suffering from Paradise Syndrome.

Paradise Syndrome, while not officially recognized by psychologists as a mental condition, is a term used by some to refer to a condition in which a person suffers a feeling of dissatisfaction despite having achieved all their dreams. It is often applied to individuals of such great wealth and success that they feel they no longer have anything left in life to accomplish. It is common with people who assign great value to their career and, although they have achieved much, do not feel satisfied.
