I've never really had anyone important to me or close die. Not even grandparents that I knew. So I feel like I'm depressed at times, because I don't really have anything significant to be depressed about? Does that make sense?
Extra info: I am diagnosed as bipolar, with anxiety and ADD. Perfect combination...
This seems like survivor's guilt - only, based on a very small and relatively insignificant sort of situation.
Survivor's guilt is when you feel bad for surviving a situation other people didn't, or generally for doing better than others. You feel like you don't deserve the success or happiness you have when the other people didn't get it. Most other people you know have probably lost someone - you haven't, so you feel bad that your life is better than average in that regard.
My best guess. It's probably a reaction amplified by your other conditions.
If you take meds, it could be a side affect. Or maybe you also have depression because having issues with anxiety makes you very vulnerable to depression. I would talk to your doctor. Good luck :)
Omg. It's so messed up when you have depression. You can get upset about anything. Yes, even the fact that you have nothing to be upset ABOUT. I get it
Depression is linked to attention deficit disorder due to abnormalities of the neurotransmiters. I have it too. I can't remember the exact figures but the majority of people with A.D.D and A.D.D suffer from depression at some point in their lives.
Yeah, except I am diagnosed as Bipolar, so can't really help feeling that way...
