I'm 25 and I have a girlfriend that I love and who loves me, I have a job where I make decent money, my parents are kind enough to let me live with them until I save more money.

Me and my girlfriend are talking about going to an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean this spring/summer and I'm so excited about that etc etc

So why do I get these feelings of emptiness and depression? When on the surface my life is pretty great.

    Depression is a mental illness that does not discriminate. Even with people that have things going well in their life. So yes it's normal and you may want to get help with it.

    You can have everything in the world and still be depressed. Money can't buy happiness.

    Because there is no challenge.

    When you die, you feel alive.

    Get out of your comfort zone. Take a risk.

    Learn a new skill.

    Or maybe the best thing for you would be to volunteer your spare time; help others who are less fortunate.

    You need to feed your spirit.

    Take care

    I was just gonna say that maybe deep inside he may be highly curious about having sex with another guy. Closet bi-curious. But I withdraw my attempt at a smartass response.

    Depression can hit anybody at any time.
    It really does help to talk so maybe you could let your girlfriend know how you're feeling?
    Maybe a holiday is just what you need

      It always fascinates me in a sad way when people who are stars decide to go into a crazy spiral of depression. I too have lots of anxiety myself.

      I appreciate you sharing your story. When people look at others who have it all on the outside. The house, the car, the wife and kids. Many times as aforementioned about well known stars who have it all...do not realize their may be a lot of issues going on inside their minds. They then many times are unwilling to receive the help they need.

      I am 30 years old and am good looking. I went to a college and graduated and also when to Spain to study abroad. Have both parents who have never been divorced. My mom was at home with my brother and I up until I was 14 years old. I beleive my anxiety spans from worrying about what's not in my control more often then I should. Instead of gaining the gumption to take care of the things I need to and that is in my control.

      Random provoked thought. I also think negative gossip affects us all. When people talk about things or others in a negative way it erodes trust created between them and others. It then subconsciously tell us... What are they saying about me as well as the person they are talking about may influence one to have ill thoughts about him/her.
