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

If you are feeling depressed, even when things are going great, you have to remember that your depression might be lingering from the past and your current ease in life could be relatively new. It could also be that you're not used to things going great, so you are subconsciously making yourself feel bad because you're not used to it. It's hard to trust things when life isn't plundering us with one problem after another. We sit back waiting for the next thing that will bring us down. We bring ourselves down first just so we're not blindsided to any impending doom we perceive as being around the corner.
