There's a subconscious part of you that won't let that feeling go away. Life may be going great but depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain, no reason why this happens....it just does sadly

Sometimes this happens be we are unfulfilled or are not expressing ourselves. This does not have to be something huge like a career choice, it could be something like no longer doing or enjoying, or having, a hobby.

There can be a number of causes for it. Usually it's the lack of satisfaction in a certain area or aspect of our lives. Try to identify the niche where you might be lacking and come to terms with it.

Because everything looks great, but it's not, you might be worried about something that could happen, or under a lot of pressure and not realise it.

Sometimes even little things you may not notice can make you feel depressed. When everything seems to be great you may not notice the bad things.

It's because your feelings don't reflect how things "objectively" are. There's nothing shameful about feeling depressed or weak - it's your valid experience.

Depression is a mental illness therefore it doesn't always make sense. I know exactly how you feel, and whilst I may not be scientifically correct, I believe that not all people with depression get it when they're at a bad point in their lives. As long as you keep being as happy as you can, that's all we can ask.

Well to put myself in your position. Maybe it's cause you're scared that someone or something will mess it up
