Venting why am i depressed

[mirroredmind]

my life is so perfect, when you see it from the outside you'd think i have the most perfect life anyone could ever ask for. i have a loving and caring family, i have a roof under my head and food to eat. but why do i still feel suicidal every single day? why am i sad when there's nothing to worry about?

1) Get a nutritional meal planning website up, type in honestly your daily diet - It will show you if you have any deficiencies.
2) Get blood tests to test for any underlying health problems.
3) Pay attention to your thoughts and see if you have any recurring paterns.

Probably because of a lack of gratitude towards the things you have, and purposelessness.
Try gratitude journaling and setting and pursuing a few goal. PM for more info if u wanna

Maybe you need some friends? Some lively, humorous and loving friends.

And thats how i got my depression to :D. truth to be told, i still don't understand, why it happened at all. I had a nice life, friends, gym, good grades etc, and then boom, like from nothing, depression, what's worse is that it practically ruined my life, i dropped everything that was good, first sh scars started appearing and suicidal ideation became daily thing, (first trip to psych ward too lol) got mostly disconnected from friends, stopped caring about what's around me, its like never ending pain.... sounds stupid, maybe because it actually is but yeah...

Are there things you want but can't have?

OP I ask myself that every other day. I don't have a perfect life but my folks love me and I while I'm tired of my job and ready to move on, it does pay decently enough to eek out rent every month and I'll be graduating next year from college after I decided to go back to try to change careers. I was teased in school but I'm doubtful that's the cause.

Maybe we're genetically predisposed? It could also be socioeconomic as well. Personally, I think we as a society (as a people, not any nation in particular) are more depressed because of how stressful it is to live in society. Economy is circling the drain, can barely afford roofs over our heads, food in our bellies, companies are taking more and more advantage of workers, seems like WWIII is just around the corner. I think we're all just burnt out when it come to the rat race and trying to live and it manifests itself as depression and anxiety.

feel exactly the same. as someone going through the same thing with an objectively good life, it sucks but mental illness doesn't discriminate unfortunately.
your feelings are completely real and valid and you're not alone in this - I recommend going through some of the suggestions left here and see if they help :)!

It sounds like you're going through a really tough time, despite having what appears to be a perfect life from the outside. It's important to remember that mental health struggles, including feelings of sadness and suicidal thoughts, can affect anyone, regardless of their external circumstances. Having a loving family, a home, and food are important, but they don't automatically safeguard against mental health challenges.

Feeling suicidal or persistently sad isn't necessarily about what you have or don't have in your life. These feelings can be influenced by a variety of factors, including biological, psychological, and environmental factors. It's also possible to experience depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions without a clear, specific cause.

What you're feeling is real and valid, and it's okay to feel this way even when everything seems perfect on the outside. Talking to a mental health professional can provide you with the tools and strategies to understand and cope with these feelings. They can help you explore the underlying causes of your sadness and suicidal thoughts and work with you to develop a plan to manage them.

Similar to me, without the caring family - roof over my head, stable job, great relationship - feeling like crap.

I would suggest checking out if there is history of mental illnesses in your family, mine has quite a few. Also doing some physical tests to see if everything is good, checking your diet as well. Beyond that, anyone can feel depressed and suicidal and having a roof over your head, job, etc doesn't make one happy inherently. My psychologist said: "if all someone needed to be cured was a job, house and relationship, every psychiatrist would prescribe that instead of meds".

Maybe you feel you have no purpose or are lacking something else that you haven't discovered.
