How can I gain more weight and muscle mass

Question From: Jr.
My whole life I have always been the kid everyone picks on because of how skinny I've been. I am 20 years old and weigh in at about 125-130 lbs. I am tired of looking in the mirror and being ashamed of what I look like.
I have been taking natural vitamins and calcium pills to give me at least the daily requirements since I do not eat a lot throughout the day. I have always been a depressed person; therefore I do not get too much of an appetite. I have really bad eating habits which I am working on at the moment, and I have a case of insomnia which at times prevents me from getting a full night's sleep. So as you can tell, I have quite a few problems that are holding me back from gaining weight and building muscle.
I am wondering what healthy and natural roads I can take to 1, gain more of an appetite 2, gain more weight and 3, gain mass/muscle? please, I beg you to help me acheive my long life goal which is to finally be proud of looking like what they call an "average" 20 year old.
I also have taken protein shakes to help gain more weight but it seems as if my metabolism might be too fast or maybe I have taken the wrong supplements. I would like to thank you for even taking the time to help, I greatly appreciate it. Have a wonderful day, I hope to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Jr.
