Over thinking might lead to depression, and so can many others. How have you been feeling lately? Have you been stressed?
Feeling a bit down is completely normal. However, if your depressed mood lasts longer than two weeks then you may want to check in with a doctor or therapist to see if you are dealing with a Depressive Disorder. Sometimes you can become depressed with no apparent trigger.
Depression can be caused by many unseeable things. Hormonal issues, burn out, and puberty can cause all of this
Normally for me this happens when it has been "Triggered" by the words of someone else or when I think about someone that I miss dearly.

I suffer from bipolar 2 disorder, and I feel depressed or worthless it seems out of no where all the time. I have learned to cope with it, but I know it is really difficult to deal with if you haven't identified where the source of your feelings is or what may cause it. However, it is really likely that you may have some sort of cognitive disorder that causes you to feel this way. It's important to realize that there are others out there that are willing to help you discover why this is happening.

There might be little problems going on in your life that you may consider as not important or as a big deal, but those small things can pile up and create depression and sadness for no reason, sometimes you may be thinking very deeply and those thoughts can trigger your depression too.
Maybe it is not depression. It could be that your body is tired or you could be mentally over worked, which makes your body and/or brain to shut some functions off, which are not that important. You could practice yoga/meditation for say 20-30 min daily. It should make you feel refreshed and energized. Also, proper amount of rest is equally important and so is a good healthy balanced diet, as improper diet could also cause such reaction to your body.
Depression can come in many circumstances. It can be when your sad, when something triggers or even when you are stressed.
You must look at all possible causes. Is it a recent situation making you feel this way? Hormones? New medication. Look at all choices
You may of recalled a past bad situation, if not, some trouble may of gone on and it may of upset you, just remember you're better than other people, and youre worth it.
It could have been triggered by anything , a memory , word , place , feelings and thoughts it can appear out of nowhere
Have you gone through any stressful situation lately? Is there anything that is happening in your life that may have caused you to feel depressed?
clouded up emotions that wants to be felt that you try not to confront. these emotions build up and in time will come forward and make you feel depressed. it is best to deal with every situation as they come don't hide it.
You may feel depressed out of no where for a number of reasons, I know the feeling from personal experience. It could be a number of things which you don't realise are effecting you, but I find what helps is taking some time out to myself, if you continuously feel this way, I suggest discussing getting some counselling as this can help when you are feeling depressed a lot.
Sometimes there's just not really a reason. It can be unexplainable but I've been in your place before. For some people its a symptom of depression. I have depression and I find ever since I had it that's only when I really ever felt depressed for no reason but its different for everyone. It doesn't necessarily mean you have depression
It always has a basis. Either pent up emotions or some triggering factors. Idle mind. Overanalysing.
And it pounces in our most vulnerable state- just before sleeping or relaxing.

This probably isn't depression if it came from nowhere and you've never felt this way before. It is most likely some degree of sadness and will go away with time. If it persists for extended periods, it may be helpful to talk to your doctor.

There are a lot of answers for this question which often come down to a few key concepts, physical health, mental health and just simple chemical imbalance in your brain. If you do feel like as though you are progressively suffering from this, you might want to talk to someone you trust or mental health services.

Depression is a type of disorder that' causes the victim to be sad all the time. The victim could be all happy, but deep inside, they're sad, and sometimes the sadness can just break out of that cage and you'll start feeling sad/start crying over nothing.

Is there something that is bothering you? If so, why does this bothers you? If not, perhaps I can help you figure out what else it may be that causes you to be depressed. :)

This is a good question, and I can't say I have an answer, but In my personal experience I've realized that this usually happens when I don't get enough sleep and am tired, or if I haven't been physically active lately, try getting outside, getting some exercise or just moving a little bit, maybe go out shopping or something, but that's just me, however there's been many studies showing exercise is a great mood booster
Because you're a human! It's that easy. Try to embrace your emotions and understand them better. Writing your thoughts on a piece of paper of sharing them with a friend (or here, on chat) can really help.

Thats a GOOD question! You should sit down and really just ask yourself why is that. It probably is a reason but you haven't paid much attention to it. Try reevaluating your life and see if you can figure it out. If not maybe see a professional to make sure there isn't nothing wrong inside
Sadness creeps up on us, weather it is a combination of a bunch of small things or a past big thing, our emotions are bigger than us and our minds react accordingly.
You may have been triggered. Sometimes it could have been something that you saw or heard. It isn't your fault. It could have been environmental
Sometimes something could be happening in your life that you don't realize is bothering you. Once you recognize what is bothering you by spending some time thinking, you can try to do whatever you can to make yourself feel better.
You feel depressed? What has been on your mind lately, and making you feel the way you do such as depressed?

Something to feel depressed because things coming to our mind. Because we ceased of the reminders of other things or we hear things that make us remember unpleasant moments
Losing hope or experiencing a death/trauma. When things are not going as planned and one gets frusterated
it might be a memory that suddenly pops up into your recollection awareness. it is not your fault. it might have been something that has been bothering you in the past but you didn't have the time or the intention to investigate it at the time. it can be helpful to look at it carefully with kindness and forgiveness.
