Why am I so depressed if my life is great?!
Question: Why am I so depressed if my life is great?
I also think of all the sadness I've encountered in my life: moving away and leaving friends behind, picking on the nerd in class and feeling his discomfort, not visiting relatives enough (I curse myself for doing it, but I avoid family get-togethers), etc.
I know a lot of people will say "get a job or a career," "go see a doctor," or "get out of the house more" and they're right. But I've been depressed for the past 13+ years, I've seen psychiatrists and taken Zoloft. I guess what I'm asking is what is an effective way to manage this feeling or what treatments would someone recommend who's been here in my position. Maybe I'm writing this because I need to get it out; I hate feeling this way for so long.

I'm gonna say the same thing I said to the last dude.
life does not have to be the way everyone says it has to be. live like you dont know what the hell you are doing and be ******** spontaneous. if someone asks you to do something DO IT because you never know it could be the funnest day you have had in a long time.
Don't let it overcome you look ahead of you and try your best to do what needs to be done. Once in a while relax and treat yourself to a bubble bath (not as gay as it sounds) and make your favorite dish for dinner. watch your favorite tv show/movie. light candles. any of these things are self medicating and in a good way, i get bad dreams too. get this wonderful girl of yours to help relax you as well. ask her to talk to you or whisper to you while you guys are laying in bed. get her to give you a massage, or play with your hair. That usually soothes me when my boy does that for me.

Look to god for the answer.

I've been there a bit :/
A couple months ago I felt the exact same. I felt that no matter what I did there seemed to be no meaning. I was like this for weeks until I just laid down and thought very hard what was making me feel worthless. A lot happened to me that fueled my depression, but what I believe to be the major source was I wasnt doing anything that pleased me. I think the reason you fear death so much isn't three fact that you may die but realizing that you may die not accomplishing a dream. I suggest taking some time to think about what matter in life to you and a goal you wana achieve than make it possible. Wish you the best of luck.
Personal exp.
Depression is a disorder or it is cause by stress you have a disorder I have this issue I LOVE my life but I still get depressed I also have anxiety disorder that makes it worse! I have moderate depression so when I am depressed I sleep, cry for no reason or watch TV for days or not sleep so I am not thinking of jumping of a bridge lol.
Try taking a different medication and talk to a therapist again, and talk to someone 1 or 2 times a week
