I know that I need to figure out what made me like this. There was no break up with a boyfriend, no one close to me died, didn't see anyone die, and I wasn't raped. No reason to be depressed.
There's someone who reminds me so much of myself. The way I was and the way I am now. But his dad killed himself. He was really good at school just like I was and now he doesn't show up.
What else could cause depression? My early life growing up sucked but it never effected my school work. I've always had low self esteem. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do with my life now. And I don't really have a desire to do anything with my lfe either. Could bad stuff that happened a long time ago come back to haunt me? I don't understand it. People have told me the only way to get past "this" is to figure out what caused it. How do I do that?
I'm in therapy now. Nothing has really changed and I don't feel better. I write stuff down but that's about it.

You may just have depression. It's a chemical imbalance, and may not have anything to do with your past, present or the future.
Go see a GOOD psychiatrist.

Stuff from your past life can come to haunt you. I know it sounds trite, but maybe you should volunteer and help someone else out. Get the focus off of yourself. It seems like you have some skills and if you can't use them to help youself, use them to help someone else. Chances are those skills will improve enough through practice to help you out, or you may find someone to help you see yourself in a better light. Come on. Give it a try. If one thing doesn't work, try another, and another. The third one may be the charm!

I had been going to see a counsellor for three years when I became depressed. My depression had nothing to do with my issues, although they possibly could be a trigger mixed with the predisposition to depression, but once I was depressed there was no way I could just deal with things and get better. If you are depressed, you may have to handle that before you can begin to deal with your issues. I suggest you tell your therapist about this, and see if they suggest going to see your family doctor to deal with a possible clinical depression and they will most likely forward you to a psychiatrist.
Hope everything works out for you.

Your question is really kind of vague. If you could narrow all that down, what one question do you need an answer for? I'm not trying to be difficult, after all you're in therapy and they can't figure it out either. Could you clean this up with some more concrete details?
