Does anyone else feel like they have no reason to be so screwed up? I've had the perfect life, perfect family, perfect friends. I've never been assaulted or bullied, and I have no trauma. I suffer from depression, anxiety, ocd, and possibly bipolar II, and my question is... why? I've had issues with self destructive tendencies in the past and the thing is, there's no reason for me to not be okay. I'm just frustrated and wondering if anyone else can relate.

that's just exactly what depression is. depression doesn't care who you are, what your background is, where you live or what you do, it can happen to anyone and it sucks! But you are definitely not the only one

Agreed. I always feel ashamed to be so depressed when their are so many wretched things going on in the world. What right do I have to be depressed? I have enough food to eat. I’m not being raped daily. No one is bombing my town.....

I can relate. For me, the cause is chemical. A lot of different factors but tings like a folate deficiency contribute but is it the “cause.” Our bodies are Machines and anything out of balance can cause issues
