I was on the depo shot for over a year, but stopped getting it around march. I was having a normal period after that, but then I didnt get my period at all in june. So of course I took 2 pregnancy test and both were negative. I started my period again july 1st, and pretty much spotted til july 6th. Then I started my period again july 10th and it dragged all the way to the 29th! Now I started again Aug 2nd and Im bleeding more then I normally do. Is there something wrong with me? or is this normal?

This is fairly normal. Its the side effects of depo leaving your body. I was on depo for 21 months and my last shot was October 2010. I had random periods sometimes only a week apart or two months apart. Not until October 2011 did I start getting regular periods again and then it took until April 2012 to finally conceive.
