Is it my fault for being depressed?

no not really but it's you who can get yourself out of what life had put you in and we are all here to help you :)

No love, it isn't. People don't become depressed by choice. People become depressed when something has affected them and they do not choose whether they want that or not. Please don't ever blame yourself for the pain you go through everyday because you are depressed, because it isn't your fault, nor is it anyone else's. If you are faced with depression, it is just something you must learn how to deal with and hopefully, get over one day. Just believe you can do it and there are so many ways to face it; talk to someone, meditate/do yoga, find ways to de-stress your mind and if t is necessary, prescription pills. But it is definitely not your fault and it is unfair that some people have to deal with it and others don't.

It is never your fault. It is something that happens. Life happens. Everything happens for a reason

The world is a cruel place, and everyone hurts. Sometimes, it depends on our choice and sometimes we have nothing to choose from. It is nobody's fault to be depressed no more than it is anybody's fault to be happy.

No, it's not, it's the hard time that you've passed or you're passing trough, you just have to deal with this looking for help.

No. It's a chemical imbalance in your brain. When one is depressed it is suggested to go see your doctor and explain your depression.

It is absolutely NOT your fault that you are depressed. Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thought, behaviour, feelings and sense of well-being. Depression can be a normal reaction to life events. It is absolutely not your fault that you feel depressed. What is important though, is to seek help from a psychologist who can help you get through the depression.

Nobody wants to be depressed. Usually depression happens because of chemical, environmental, or a combination of those factors. This means that something situational may be causing your depression, or your brain may actually have an imbalance that needs to be addressed by therapy, medication, and/or exercise.

No it's not. Depression can be caused from a hormonal imbalance or events in your life. It's not your fault but I wish you all the best for your recovery. Good Luck!

Absolutely not! Depression is as much a disease as cancer, and can be just as deadly. Unlike cancer though, there are some things you can do that can help mitigate the effects! I have found that surrounding myself with people, even if I'm not actively talking about my depression, can be so helpful! Just knowing I'm not physically alone can make it a lot better.

No, depression is a chronic illness that effects many people around the world (even clowns!) its never your fault for being depressed and if anyone tells you otherwise, they're wrong.

I guess it kind of is because I keep saying negative things about myself which is one of the reasons I'm depressed I guess

No, it isn't. No one would say it was your fault if you were diagnosed with any other disease, so why would it be your fault that you are depressed?

It may be chemistry in the brain or neurons or environmental causes & circumstances, in reality.. It's never the person's fault

No, it's a chemical problem in your brain, it's not your fault, you can't choose to become depressed.

Sometimes it could be the result of your accumulated actions and sometimes it could be because of genetic factors. However, in no way, is depression in any individual only the result of his sole action.

Blaming yourself for depressing makes you more depressed, you shouldnt blame yourself for your depression.

Absolutely not. Does someone choice to be born with only one arm? No. Sometimes you can't help what happens.

It is absolutely not your fault for being depressed. Depression can happen to anyone at any time. While some people experience depression triggered by a terrible life event, it can come upon others with no warning at all. It is an illness like any other that you are NOT responsible for.

Absolutely not. Depression is an illness. You can treat it but it's not that simple to get rid of. If you think that depression is your fault (or someone else's fault), be aware that blaming yourself or others for your depressed condition is extremely stressful, especially if you are always angry with yourself or others for being depressed.

Totally not! Do you blame yourself for cathing cold? Depression is an illness which effects not only on your mind, but on your body too. It can appear suddenly, even if you were perfectly happy. So there is no person fault.

No, it is almost never the depressed person's fault for their illness. A lot of people are depressed due to the environmental factors they grow up/live with.

It is never your fault for being depressed is an illness, if you could chose to get rid of it, I'm sure you would. Blaming someone for depression is like blaming someone for having cancer, you cant help it! Stay strong ♥
