There might be something deep inside of you that wasn't fulfilled. Something you've always wanted to do, somewhere you wanted to go or perhaps someone you wanted to be with. It is often that incomplete feeling that overpowers all the good happening around you. I'd suggest you speak to someone and allow yourself a chance at self-reflection. You might find the answer you're looking for.

Feelings of depression don't necessarily have to depend on what's going on in your life at the moment. This is especially true when you're dealing with things like past trauma or actual clinical depression. A personal example would be the fact that I have struggled with major depression, on and off, for most of my life, and it usually doesn't have an apparent reason or pattern when my depressive episodes happen.

Maybe you feel unfulfilled. Maybe there are things in your life you wish you could have changed or done differently that you regret on a subconscious level. Whatever it is, actively seek it. Get closure.

This is a tough one, and one I've struggled with too. The thing is, depression isn't something that just goes away once life is better. Depression, like any other illness, needs to be treated, not ignored. If you're able, I think you should see a therapist, who can better help you or get you on medication.

Depression doesn't always have to be due to bad life experiences. A lot of people can feel depressed just because. If possible, try finding the root of your depression and go from there!

Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain. It is a mental illness and it's a mean one. You could have the best life in the world and depression will suck out that enjoyment. It is not your fault when you feel depressed and it does not mean you aren't appreciating what you have been given. Therapy from a licensed professional is usually a great treatment to help you feel less depressed.

Depression is not always based on surroundings or other happenings of your life although that can be a major contributing factor. Depression is considered a mental illness. This is not a bad thing. It is not your fault. It is not something you can control.

Depression is often not a consequence of the things that happen in your life. Even if your life seems like it is going great, sometimes you may not feel well. Chronical depression can sometimes occur as a constant feeling of sadness and it can be hard to overcome. That's is a reason to visit a therapist who can help you deal with it easier.

everyone does at some point in their life. not being satisfied enough with what you have can also be a factor. constant comparison of oneself with others is also a main factor that can leave you feeling sad and depressed.
