Is this related to anxiety/depression?

I wouldn't say I'm depressed, because I am always enjoying myself when I'm spending time with friends, but depression doesn't always mean sad.
But here's the question: since about the age of 15 I keep on feeling that I'm alone or unsafe when I'm out alone, and I keep longing to be at home with my mum, or just hiding away in my bed, watching films to get me out of the real world and into a different world. And when I think of homely things, like fresh fruit in a fruit bowl, it makes me want to be at home more. But at the same time, I do enjoy being out and about and doing things with people (because now I have more friends than I did before, and they are better too). I really don't know what this strange feeling is, if I enjoy being out doing things with friends. Also, I keep on feeling sorry for every person, animal, insect, and object I see (for some strange reason). Do all these strange feelings have something to do with my HAD (high anxiety disorder)? I've suffered with this since I was about 15, so I wonder if all these funny feelings are just mixed with that.

Do others get these strange feelings?
