Anyone out there who is depressed without any reason?

[flappybird]

Just wondering if there is anybody who is feeling depressed for no apparent reason? Perhaps just being very thoughtful about life. Perhaps because of your own mental issues, etc?
Everyone here seems to have a very troubling reason relating their family ,etc

[Plane And Simple]

That's me some days. I got a perfect family, life, friends and no issues myself, but some days I just want to go to sleep and who knows if I even want to wake up again. Today is one of those days.

Usually I have a reason, but sometimes it feels like I'm depressed without no real reason, life in general is depressing me not anything negative in my surroundings.

[MechaSniper]

I'm just lonely

Exactly.

[Dibmelendez]

Yea, it's like I think about my life and I feel I should be thankful, but for some reason I'm still depressed and don't really want it. I know how it feels

[Miserabilia]

I'm only depressed because of my own mind.

[Lost in the Echo]

I get that way sometimes. If you're feeling depressed over nothing then it's probably just the teenage hormones.

[backjruton]

My own mind is always the cause and the problem... I'm getting over most of it now because I realize I've been a twat in all of this too. I blame an old friend for my anxiety and my worries when it comes to trusting people, but it's my fault the more I think of how stupid I am. The more I think about that, I actually feel happier... and it's also gone because these weird fish oil capsule things I'm trying make my angry thoughts suddenly turn into something sexual ... but I gained 6 stone in weight over high school because of it and that one thing, which was my fault, and now I'm happier I'm trying to lose it again... I think :whoops:

[Microcosm]

Yes I do. Sometimes I will just get this spasm of sadness out of nowhere and the world just suddenly feels like it has put all of its weight over my head.

I usually just shrug it off as "I'm bipolar, of course I'm going to get depressed", but yeah, this pretty much sums it up.

Honestly? Yeah, my life sucks, but I uuuuuusually bring it on myself.

Like, no, literally. My inner voice hates me to death. If I seem happy? I'm not really thinking.

My inner voice is tough too whenever I hear it. Sometimes I am depressed from life, other times it stems from me being lonely.

My inner voice has nothing good to say. I try to stay away from introspection, because I just end up wanting to kill myself. Every time.

I try to dumb myself down. Simplify my thoughts. Focus on other people. When I can talk about myself to someone, instead of talking to myself inside my own head (basically), and I can say GOOD things, HAPPY things, it's like a relief! I think it's why I seem so self-absorbed. :/

In fact, when I can talk to other people about myself, I remember things I've entirely repressed in such vivid detail that I get nostalgic and happy and freak people out.

But er like, I can't focus on myself without getting drawn to the bad things immediately. I'd like to think that I'm not a bully, but in all honesty? I'm kind of my own bully.

Loneliness seriously aggravates depression. :( I feel ya there.

The thing is that even the sunniest of people have themselves as thei worst enemy. Even Ms. Sunshine has her lonely days. Sunny is not always good for me which may be why I like cooler and cloudy days. I hate having no one to understand me or talk to; it sucks. I am my own bully too. It's easy to be your own bully when you don't love yourself. Sadly I have the helper personality. I'd help others to the ends of the Earth whilst burying my own problems. I'm so quick to help others but ignore my own problems until someone notices something is wrong with me and asks me.

Ironically, refusing to work out your own problems is one of the most selfish things you can do- I can relate a lot to what you just said, and had I worked out my own damn problems, well, my life would be entirely different.

My old therapist told me that I have a really warped perspective- that I literally have a self-perception that is SO abnormal and negative that it's basically holding my back from achieving anything close to my potential.

That sounds like my issue. But I've no therapist. I just really would rather help others. It helps me to help others smile. I feel too far gone to get help. I am so manic sometimes.

This is me exactly.
I get sad the moment I can hear my own thoughts.

[xXoblivionXx]

well I suppose that's what depression ultimately is. Being sad even when everything is right. I was kinda like that for a while and it always bothered me. I live in a good neighborhood, my family is loving and caring, I go to a good school but I still wasn't happy. I think the key to getting better is trying your hardest to change your attitude about life. If your constantly thankful and optimistic the tides should start to turn.

[UnknownError]

I have no real reason to feel down and never really have. I used to basically give myself reasons to cut because I didn't have any. It annoys me so much lmao.

This is how I feel too.

But it kills me to help other people, to be there for them, to have them rely on me. Because I know I'm going to hurt them, and I know I'm going to hurt them repeatedly!

When I'm feeling suicidal, this is the thing that puts me over the edge. I feel like, I should just kill myself! I'll never have to hurt anyone ever again. This will be the last time. They'll move on, life will go on.

And then I kind of feel like a failure when I can't kill myself. I'm trapped.

And like, I'm fairly content with life on its own, when I'm not feeling extremely depressed. It's just knowing how unstable I am, knowing how much pain I cause others. I can't deal with that.

This is me exactly.

Hah, same.
