Make an appointment with your doctor and make sure there isnt a physical or chemical reason for the depression. Or possibly a hormone imbalance. The doctor can guide you to other help if physically you are fine.

It could be a chemical imbalance in the brain. It can be helped with medication. I suffer from depression and I take Wellbutrin XL. It has helped me out a lot. Just talk to your doctor. There are a lot of symptoms of depression that may surprise you. I at first thought I had an anger problem, but as my doctor and I talked about it I found out that it and other things that had happened to me were all signs of depression.

It could be biochemical. You would need to see a doctor and he/she may prescribe an anti-depressant. Regardless of the cause, you should seek help. Depression is very common and sometimes occurs for no apparent reason. There are excellent treatments available today. There is no need to suffer.
Whether you go on medication or not, though, I would see a counselor or psychologist.

Remember material things arent what makes you happy-You might need something more challenging in your life. If not you might want to go get checked out you might have some sort of imbalance. Good luck and take care!

How old are you? That really says a lot. Can be hormones. Pregnant? Change of life? Bored? lots of factors can make you feel that way. You mention everything but a significant other maybe that is it. :-) Smile remember it is always the darkest before the dawn.

you say you have everything you 'could want' but I would be interested to know whether you have everything you 'do' want! There is a difference.
If you feel something is missing you will also know what that is....
depression is a normal state...... but it does need some help....
eat healthy food drink lots of water, exercise often, and do something nice for someone else..... that will go a long way onto getting better..

What you need to do is to volunteer at a soup kitchen, or help out a t a church that helps people with food, or clothing.....
You can also call your local school and ask them if they can use a volunteer for 3 hours at a time?
Since you have so much, you will also receive so much from giving of yourself......Trust Me...You will be glad you did one of these things........Good Luck!
