I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for a few years, but more noticeably the last year. I’m 27 male. 
I just wondered if other people find that they spend so much time wondering why they became or are depressed is actually one of the causes of continued depression? Would be interested to read what people do to ease their depression? 

I seem to find myself searching for answers of why I just don’t feel very happy a lot of the time. I’m not suicidal, but have thought what is the point in feeling like this for the rest of my life. It really gets me down. 

I’ve had a great upbringing, have friends that care about me, parents and siblings that love me, a decent job, I’ve got everything anyone could ever want or need. But still I find myself lying on my bed, sort of ashamed of myself that I can’t have a day where I’m genuinely happy. Don’t get me wrong, I have moments and days where things look up, but then it can be the absolute opposite the next day. 

I wish there was an answer to all of this. I just hope one day I get out of this hole and have a more positive and optimistic outlook on life.
