Is it normal depression

88% Normal
5 Comments

I feel depressed even though i've had a relatively good life. I sometimes have individuals saying that nothing bad has happened in my life so i should just get over it. I always wonder if life feels different for others and what i see is an illusion and what i hear and feel is an illusion also. I feel very sensitive to other peoples feelings and i would listen to someone no matter how crazy how they feel is and i wouldnt judge someone for that. How i am feeling has been effecting my relationships with people and i dont know what the hell to do.

    Anyone can develop depression. I was diagnosed 3 years ago but I think I've had it longer than that. I think it's hereditary because my mom has been diagnosed as well. Plus I have Asperger's disorder and depression can stem from that. Don't listen to people who tell you to "get over it." That's really rude if you're seriously depressed and not seeking attention. I get told similar things, and I find it bothersome when whiny crybabies with sob stories get attention and people who are being genuine get called annoying. If you haven't already, see a doctor and get anti-depressants.

    You probably have a type of depression. It can be frustrating feeling depressed frequently but not having any reason for it. And people saying things like "just get over it" absolutely does not help. But that is something you'll hear all the time from people who don't understand how depression works or that you even have it.

    I have had depression for 3 years now. It is completely normal. It may run in your genetics. It does in mine and it has taken control of many peoples lives, but don't let that scare you. Sometimes the depression can be an addiction if that makes sense. If you are having a bad day and you already have a history of depression this will cause it to be an even more awful day then it would for people without depression. I can't say how to fix it because I'm still yet trying to find out how. You don't have to have a reason to be depressed though.

    depression is usually caused my a chemical imbalance in your brain. people telling you to get over it is like telling a diabetic to just eat the sugar already. some people are depressed from bad circumstances but its not required you can have a perfectly sedate 'normal' life and still be depressed. don't blame yourself try to find something that works for you whether meds or some lifestyle change.
