Suggest Treatment For Stress And Depression

Am I a sociopath? I feel nothing for others. I have never felt any guilt or remorse. I wouldn't care if anyone died, even friends or family, or anyone else I claimed to love. For instance, I'm currently with a girl. I tell her I love her every night. But whenever I think of losing her, or her dying, I feel nothing. I think I might feel disappointment, but not out of love or whatever the hell I'm supposed to feel if that happens, but out of the fact that she still continues to associate me despite knowing that there's something... off... about me, including the fact that I have homicidal urges, so I think I'd feel disappointment if I lost her out of... boredom, I guess. Moving on, I manipulate people, and even events, to get what I want, again without guilt or remorse, even if I destroy someone or more than one someone in the process. I also cannot empathize with others. For an example, recently a "friend" told me her sister was raped and killed. My response? "Okay. That's... interesting, I guess. Does that really matter?" I mean, I acted like I cared, but couldn't really care less. Also, when I watch the news with someone and they go, "Isn't that horrible?", I either feel nothing or am disappointed no one died, because that would make the news more interesting. Honestly, the only reason I don't kill people, including family members, is because I'd probably get caught, not because it's "wrong". I don't even get what would be wrong about it. Everyone dies eventually anyway. So anyway? Am I a sociopath? I'm only interested in knowing because I think a professional opinion would be amusing.
