why am i depressed?

Question

I have no reason to be sad but i am? I have no interest in doing anything. Whats wrong with me?

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with you. People go in cycles - and you have hit upon the winter of your spiritual life. No big deal, really - it can happen because your mind is busy planning and wants to stay put and focus on it's task (even if you know have something conscously on your mind) or it could be a rainy day, or just a low after the holidays.

The best thing you can do is be kind to yourself. Relax and enjoy some time alone - and watch for signs of spring.

Peace!

Answer 2

You could just be in a bad mood. But if this bad mood seems to be every single day, read on b/c you might have depression.

Clinical depression (also called major depressive disorder, or sometimes unipolar when compared with bipolar disorder) is a state of intense sadness, melancholia or despair that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual's social functioning and/or activities of daily living.

Many people identify the feeling of being depressed as "being blue", "feeling sad for no reason", or "having no motivation to do anything". One suffering from depression may feel tired, sad, irritable, lazy, unmotivated, and apathetic. Clinical depression is generally acknowledged to be more serious than normal depressed feelings. It often leads to constant negative thinking and often substance abuse.

Treatment of depression varies broadly and is different for each individual. Various types and combinations of treatments may have to be tried, but without hope in a complete solution to the problem. There are two primary modes of treatment, typically used in conjunction: medication and psychotherapy. A third treatment, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), may be used when chemical treatment fails.

Try making an appointment with a doctor. I suggest seeing a shrink, but seeing your regular doctor might help too.
