Why do I always feel upset even if everything is fine?

I always feel upset when everything is fine because of the mental illnesses I have and the way I was born. It is not my fault that I overthink or have mood swings. My depression comes in unexpected waves that bury me deep within the sand. Whether I just got a new car or won a million dollars, my unexpected depression will always be there. This is not my fault.

Maybe because you feel like you don't deserve to be happy which is because something happend to you and you are afraid of being disappointed again or you did something bad and now you fell like punishing yourself,

If you find yourself feeling this way there's a great possibility you are feeling like maybe there's something missing.

I think it happens a lot to me too. If I have nothing to do, I am easily upset, I become more emotional. But when I am busy, I am happy. So I always try to be as busy as I can to be happy. Sometimes it's not always what people thin about you. You have to try to be the better you. Accept your flaws, be grateful for what you have, make everyday counts. I think it's all cliche but I've felt those all.

Because you are afraid that whenever you're happy, something bad happens. When everything goes fine, you wait for an upcoming storm.

Do you think that what you may be experiencing is depression? If you believe that this is the case, then I would advise speaking with a therapist or psychiatrist. Speaking with them may help you figure out the root of your unhappiness as well as ways to reduce/eliminate the negative feelings that you have. Sometimes, even though we may have everything that we can possibly need, we still feel an underlying sense of emptiness and/or dread. It isn't that we are not grateful for what we have, but it feels as if something is just not right.

sometimes you want to take refuge in your problems although they are so irresistible and they are so unbearable. Sometimes you can not find a convenient solution except for this.

It can be hard to deal with emotions when you aren't even sure where they are coming from and why you feel that way. If you feel that your emotions are consuming you or are interfering with your life, then you might find it best to seek the advice of a trained counselor or therapist.

It could be that you are not in touch with your emotions, the ones that make you upset. We sometimes think we should be fine because externally, everything seems in order, in its right place. But, often the reality is that there is something, possibly not in our awareness or conscious that acts as a splinter in our mind, wiggling around in there, suggesting something needs to be dealt with. Maybe sit quietly somewhere and just be for a few minutes. Something may bubble up to the surface that you can then consciously address.

We may feel upset sometimes even if nothing has happened. It usually is because there is a situation that we have not handled or the anger is masking other feelings, like sadness or anxiety. Taking a step back to reflect on our lives can help us identify the real cause behind our feelings, and addressing it can improve our lives very much.
