Often, when we are depressed, there is no reason. It is just a feeling that comes and goes. Sometimes we have better days than others and sometimes we feel depressed for no reason. As long as you keep your head up and have someone to talk to, you will be okay. Even though it may feel like we will never feel okay, it's good to have support when we need it the most.

No.. depression can hit you out of the blue. That is when you need to really pay attention and keep track of mood changes. I would suggest seeking the advice of a trained medical personal.

Not necessarily, sometimes you can feel depressed if you're just plain bored, or are overthinking too much, if you ever feel depressed for no apparent reason, go out, and do something, anything, watering the garden, feeding the cat, even working on a hobby you love, anything to just put your mind in a different place

Absolutely not! Depression can, and often does, come out of nowhere. You never need a reason to feel the way you're feeling.

No. Depression can happen at any moment and any time, whether you're doing something or nothing completely at all. But at the same time depression is mostly caused by a reason, whether it's relationships, jobs, friendships, family, etc. Those have a huge influence on depression, and it's ushally what causes depression to happen. But there are days where everything is going pretty good and still don't want to get out of bed.

No, you don't. Depression is a condition that doesn't depend on anything. You don't need a reason to be depressed, the waves of blueness just come and go whenever they feel like it, and as trashy as it might feel that's not much we can do about it. If you're looking to seek for help about depression i sugges you find a therapist near you, trust me, it really helps.

Sometimes, You do not need a reason feel depressed. It is also unrealistic to try to be happy all the time, However, you can choose to react to life in a positive manner. Negative feelings will come back to you and it is certainly not wrong to feel this way. I know how hard it is to get out of bed every morning when feeling this way. Take your first step to being gentle with yourself, take all the time you need to think about what you have done in the past few years, Sometimes, you just need a different perspective to discover yourself. You are an individual with your own path and You are unique in so many different ways, you are stronger than you think, you are not falling behind, you are doing a great job hanging in there. Baby steps! A tiny achievement is an accomplishment!
