I’m depressed and has been for the last 2 years. I’ve been taking medications and seeing therapist but I don’t even know how helpful are the therapy sessions (it feels like we just talk about what happened in the past week). I feel like I’m detached and just going through the motions. I feel exhausted all the time and lost interest in most of the things I used to like. But my parents are alive and healthy, I have a good job, don’t have to worry about money, have a few friends (maybe not enough) and a boyfriend that really loves me.

I can’t really figure out a reason. I have a few hypothesis: maybe my expectations on life are too high that’s why I’m constantly disappointed? Maybe I don’t have enough good friends? Maybe because I’m separated from my parents (they are in a different country and I haven’t been able to visit in 2 years)?

It’s real but I don’t know why
