I cant be depressed, its just not right.
I dont understand why people say that it is all down to me feeling depressed,
Does that meen that there is something wrong with my head?
Mum says that it is all just hormones, I swear on my life that not everyone feels how I am feeling now. I dont understand : /

I spent the most of my reasoning life trying to figure out 'what was wrong with me', without success, and the answer eventually came on its own, long after I decided to stop actively seeking it. And the truth is, it had nothing to do with hormones or neglectful parents or any of those generalized assumptions which people fed me over the years.

If anything, between then and the many more absurdities which I encountered later on, I've learned that things in the world don't always make sense. And they don't need to - even though the human mind has a tendency to find patterns and logical explanations for everything - uncertainties can be just as effectively dealt with.

So, what is, is. How it came to be and the exact dynamics of its existence really isn't that relevant, when one is still struggling to not be engulfed by its power. Of course, be observant, as obtaining insights about one's experiences - especially when they are seemingly absurd - is always interesting, though I do not believe it wise to dwell on these matters too much for its own sake. You don't need an intellectual chaos on top of an emotional one.

Most insights will come naturally, through the trial-and-error process of experimenting with different strategies and approaches.

In the quest to obtain a better state of being, I've noticed that it makes a world of difference to focus on attaining the desirable, rather than being free from the undesirable.

i don't know for sure if you are depressed. i can't tell you that without knowing more info. but i can say this for sure. it's okay to be depressed. depression is a naturally occurring feeling in our body produced by hormones. that may sound weird, but as sad as depression is that doesn't make something wrong with us. i don't know you in person but i can tell just from your writing that you are confused. counselors can often help you define your feelings and advise you what to do with them. it might be a good time to see them. as always, you can feel free to PM me if you wanna talk.
