Why does depression have to be so bad at times?

I'm not sure it "has to be" so bad, but it certainly can be difficult, especially when we feel isolated and unsupported. Please consider involving yourself in the depression support group room or talking with a Listener 1 on 1.

depression was once described to me as the great pit of despair, it rarely has good times. The same person also said that "to get to Heaven you have to go through Hell". And maybe that is why depression is so bad at times but know that when you are going through it you are not alone, but you need to find a hand to hold as you journey through the darkness.

depression makes person lonely and not allowing to think,makes blame self and kills happiness of person

Depression is unpredictable, and unique from person to person...Much like a fingerprint! It can be triggered by certain things, I'd recommend having a look at the self help guides here on the website, and trying to identify your potential triggers to minimize its influence c:

You learn to appreciate your life when you hit what is seemingly rock bottom. You will only know how much you fell when you look up and you begin to realize how good you had it. Start loving life, live it with a smile and be you :)

Depression has its ups and downs for sure. Sometimes it seems like everything is fine and then one moment everything might come crashing down. To tell you the truth, having ups and downs with depression is totally normal. We have to take these bad moments as they come, sometimes going out and doing things we enjoy (or used to enjoy if you are feeling down and don't want to do anything), or just listening to music or going for a walk outside can really help ground you and get you back into the reality of what really is.

Sometimes diabetes gets really bad in the same way that sometimes depression gets really bad. It is an organic mood disorder.

Because we love ourselves (and friends and family) enough to know that there is something out there better for us and its the times when depression is the worst that we realize the best. Its frustrating because we see and imagine this better life and it and it seems impossible to get to and you don't know if you'll ever make it. But if you keep helping yourself, you will.

When your body gets over-whelmed it get worse but always going outside, talking to someone, or reading helps.

I cannot give you a psychological analysis on depression. Although it is indirectly controllable, it might be hard to directly control it. It creeping up on you at random times isn't necessarily controllable amount everyone. Some can feel it coming and fight it, others cannot.
