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

Oh believe me when I say I understand. I felt this way on a number of occasions throughout my life. You might feel depressed because you feel like you don’t deserve to be happy

Honestly you need to look at your life and work out what is making you depressed, you could have the best life ever however if you are unsure on one area this could give you doubts and build up the depressed thoughts

It's natural to feel like that. Even if life is going great for you, it doesn't mean you'll automatically be happy. After all, some rich people are never happy even though they seem to have everything, and some poor people are happy even if they have nothing (though this is probably a bad example). It depends on what you are lacking or needing in life at the moment, and that means you might have to take a good look at yourself to figure out why you are feeling depressed.

Depression is an illness, and even though your life may be going well, which is a positive and welcome thing, you may still need to seek help to get to the route of the problem

I feel depressed even when my life is going great because I have issues with self-worth and anxiety about many aspects of my life. When things are going good it almost feels worse because then I feel like I have more to lose. All I can do is try my best in life and hope that I am rewarded for my effort. I just focus on working hard and being a good person.

Sometimes even though our life is great we just feel that something is missing maybe isn’t that great for you maybe you need more, try doing things you like and maybe it can help

Unfortunately that's the way depression works. Our brains can be such jerks to us sometimes. We will be doing fine then all of a sudden here comes the bad feelings and the lows. The key to battling depression is to know its not just something we do when we are in a low period. It is with us always and doing the right healthy choices at all times to manage it even when we don't have symptoms. People with asthma still have asthma even when they aren't wheezing. They still take their inhalers with them. This is what we need to realize about depression in order to manage it most effectively.

even the happiest people get depressed only you can know why you are depressed what are the reasons you feel depressed of and then when you know you can work on getting rid of the things in life that make you feel that way

Depression is an illness that does not discriminate. It is often caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and thus does not depend your lifestyle.

I know how you feel mate. I have a perfect family, and yet I'm depressed. Nothing is worse than when someone asks you why you are depressed, and you can't give them a reason. Often I find myself making up things just so I can have a reason. And honestly, I liked it better when my life was horrible, cause I at least knew why I was depressed. But now, now I don't know why. This makes it very hard to help yourself for I never know where to start. So just know this; your life doesn't have to be in shambles for you to have a mental illness. Mental illnesses come from all sorts of privileged lives. Just because your life is going great doesn't mean that you are immune from a mental illness. Sadly, no one is.
