Why do I feel depressed even when my life is going great?

Most people say it because of Imbalance chemical brains. You just can't control the feelings you feel.

It could be because you are looking for happiness in the wrong places. Just because everything around you is great, does not that mean that YOU are great. What is missing from your life physically OR emotionally?

Depression isnt just caused by how well your life is going, its much more than that. Its not really an emotion and more of a state of mind. There are ways to cope with it though, and you can escape that mindset, even for only a little while.

Sometimes there are little unprocessed things locked in our head that trigger this feeling. It could be negative past experiences, or a certain environment. Many times, these things can bring us down, even though life is going good at the moment.

I notice that depression is part of who you are and imbalance the chemicals in your brain. For example I start to feel depress when my mother is going through some tough times. No job, no money, and no one else to support her. I am the only one she depends on, but I don't know how to help her. I also have responsibilities and obligations. It kills me that I sometimes can't help her. I then think about too much that it puts me on depression. It's hard because I know how that feels not having anyone to go to for support. Just wish I could do more.

Depression can affect anyone at any time. Even if your life is going great, you can still be depressed. Depression is an illness, much like you can get a cold or the flu even when your life is wonderful. My suggestion is that you treat yourself gently and heal.

Depression is more than just feeling “down.” It is a serious illness caused by changes in brain chemistry. Research tells us that other factors contribute to the onset of depression, including genetics, changes in hormone levels, certain medical conditions, stress, grief or difficult life circumstances. People are so quick to judge, so quick to say “but I don’t have any of that and I’m still not depressed.” And you might not be, but just because they seem like they have it all together on the outside doesn’t mean their world isn’t a dark, chaotic mess on the inside. Depression doesn’t skip over people who seem like they’ve got it all together. It doesn’t matter what you appear to have because you can have it all and still feel worthless because depression is a mental health issue. It goes beyond what you have and own, it has to do with a chemical imbalance in your brain. Depression is that voice in your head telling you you’re not good enough. It’s the tears that fall for no reason. It’s the lack of motivation that just makes you want to waste away in your bed all day. It’s always hanging around in the back of your mind, even on the best days. It’s constantly wrestling with demons you just can’t explain. Depression always has the upper hand, even when you think you’re in control. If you feel too stressed or you can’t take it anymore please feel free to share with me. I’m open minded and supportive text me anytime.

The thing is, depression is an illness that isn't necessarily caused by something. It can come from nowhere and hit you hard. Just be gentle and calm with yourself when this does happen. Hard times pass.

Depression can happen even in great times. It's not that anything is wrong with you, sometimes you'll just feel bad and you can't control it, even if something good is happening.

because it is an illness that won’t disappear at the blink of an eye. it’s just like breaking a bone. it might not hurt, but it’s still broken and you’re unable to use it. take time to heal your mental state just as you would your physical
