Why am I so sad despite everything?

Question

I have a supportive family that loves me, I have the best boyfriend in the world, I'm on my way to a promising career. I have everything a girl could wish for, but I'm so depressed. I'm so sad. All I do is cry. Something is bothering me, and I don't know what. What the h**l is wrong with me? I don't want to feel this way.

Answer 1

I suffered the same thing.For me it led to God because I had to acknowledge it was out of my control,but not His.Im glad it did.

Answer 2

I hate to say it, but you are probably depressed or borderline. Only someone knowlegable and certified can say for sure. But sometimes, when people get everything they could hope for, they have nothing to hope for any more. They've got it all, but feel empty, because that burning, alive feeling of hoping and wanting something to happen so badly it sears your throat is gone. They feel they don't deserve it, or that there's something missing but they don't know what, or that they've lost something important to them. It will pass soon if it's only been going on for a short time. But if it's really bad, and you're just irrationally, inconsolably sad, and you /know/ it's irrational and everything, it is probably depression. I'm sorry, sweetie. I know how hard it can be.

Email or IM me if you'd like to talk. I'll always be here.

Answer 3

Could be a chemical imbalance. Try to see a professional and let them diagnose you..  

Answer 4

You have nothing to reach for. You're settled here with your supportive relationships. Have you been handed a lot of things? I was handed most everything and fell into a depression. You have to feel self-sufficient, and that means doing things for yourself in an independent, fulfilling way. If you're just handed good things and everything's boringly pleasant, you'll get stuck in a rut. Get out there and get your hands dirty. Do something that interests you. Take on a job that you've always thought was cool but didn't think you could do. Talk to a therapist about how to get through depression and how to get to the root of your problems. You might have the stereotypical things a person could wish for, but do you have what you wish for? Do you have what that voice deep inside longs for? Surely there's something that you secretly crave.

Answer 5

Most people often times mix up depression with sadness. Clinical depression is a serious illness and sadness is a temporary feeling that most people suffer with sometimes for 3-4 weeks. I dont think you have provided enough info to really determine why your sad but perhaps your facing some kind of uncertainty in your life right now.

Answer 6

Depression has run in my family. My father is 58 years old and he is on meds for life because his is very bad. I'm no longer suffering from it at all (used to), but the way i battled it was not drugs. There are so many other things that cure depression - and I mean cure. Things like extreme adventure sports, I'm talking skydiving, bungee jumping, mountain biking, diving off a 10 metre platform, things that create ADRENALIN. Try doing some of these activities at it well help you.

I can only wish you the best of luck and whatever you do, DONT be ashamed of it at all - more people suffer from depression all around the world than broken bones, cancer, or any other type of injury/illness. That's right, it's one of the most common illnesses all around the world so you're definately not alone. In fact, probably heaps of people you walk past every day with painted smiles on their face are feeling very similar.

Best of luck with your life, and get out there for some extreme sports, you'll be feeling better in no time!! =D

Answer 7

sometimes when people have everything they get very depressed. :[

I don't have everything i want and i am sad but sometimes get happy randomly.  You should take a step back and determine what you don't like about your life or any issues that you have that could be causing this depression.  If there are no issues then you could just have chronic depression which is a chemical imbalance that you can't help.

Answer 8

It's probably clinical depression.

The difference between the emotion of sadness and clinical depression is that when someone had clinical depression, they don't have to have a significant reason to be sad. It is a chemical imbalance in the brain that can mess up your emotions. There's nothing wrong with you; it happens to millions of people around the world. It's not caused by anything in particular. Talk to a professional; you can take medication, or learn skills to help you cope.

Answer 9

Depression

You aren't alone at all. Depression can hit a lottery winner. And yes, it does suck that bad and makes you like that when you have it.

Answer 10

I heard this is a female thing. It maybe the fact that you believe that everything you have is too good to be true and you are afraid it maybe a sick joke or something. If that isn't the case this may be a disorder or the sort. psychologytoday.com

Answer 11

I'd say you were suffering from some form of depression. It's something you should have checked out by a doctor. I find it depressing that no one in your supportive family has mentioned this to you yet.

It doesn't mean you are crazy and it's not a bad thing against you, if you are depressed, it's just a medical condition like freckles or arthritis.

And in many cases a doctor can prescribe medication that will help, and in some cases they can prescribe therapy that helps such as art therapy or exercise.

Please see a doctor and follow their advice.
