For people who are prone to depression, many different things can bring it on and depression it not necessarily logical.

That said, much of the "I don't have a boyfriend" depression you see isn't depression, it's just whining

also, the "I don't have a boyfriend" depression could be a chicken/egg thing. -- nm - loosilu Dec 1, 08:24

- If it's actually depression, in the clinical sense, then I don't see what you'd get upset about it -- nm - ty97 Dec 1, 08:26 11

    - I don't think you have any clue how depression works. -- nm - ty97 Dec 1, 08:38 9

        The first thing to accept is that depression (actual, real depression) is not a choice. - ty97 Dec 1, 08:58 6

        right, and it's not a guaranteed or quick fix. For instance I had a close friend who fought it for over a decade. NOTHING worked. You can't imagine - loosilu Dec 1, 09:03

        I think so many of our social issues are like that. just change the situation and the person changes. like how I kicked my rage issues. - amanda Dec 1, 09:10
        
        I struggle with that same feeling, but one thing to remember is that the depression itself can make doing those things much, much harder for that - pmb Dec 1, 09:05 1

      - this, completely. -- nm - loosilu Dec 1, 08:38
This, very much. I have had several periods of severe depression that were brought on by nothing. It's not always "about" something. -- nm - loosilu Dec 1, 08:23 3
- I found this take on the subject rather illuminating. -- (link) - znufrii Dec 1, 08:30 2
  - This has been my experience. Just feeling horrible, and no reason for it. Therefore no way to fix it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 1, 08:40 1
    - When I first started medicating, it was a shock to discover that I was upset only when there was a reason for it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 1, 08:44
