    Usually when people are depressed we don't like it when others ask us "why?".

    I know you meant well, but eventually she might tell you "why".

    Scientifically, it's a hormonal imbalance.

    To me, there are some things in life that are unbearable.
    Some things are emotionally draining and you feel like a rain cloud is constantly over your head. People we come in contact with can trigger it.
    Life is sometimes to hard to deal with..... Which is probably why so many people kill themselves....

    I hope everything will be fine with her:) Show that you will be there for her
    always:)

  • Its a chemical imbalance. I'm pretty she knows what's bothering her and maybe she doesn't feel comfortable telling you.

    -__- do you really have to ask this? Depression is considered to be a disorder, an unhappy thing. Clearly it is not normal. Common, yes.
