What makes you depressed?

[Ironic Pirate]

Math. No, seriously.

Especially Algebra. One day, after taking the algebra regents test, I was seriously contemplating suicide. I know it sounds pathetic, but something about it makes me feel meaningless. Like I'm a total waste, and no matter what I do, I'll die in fifty years, and no one will know who I really was. People will remember me how they wanted to, not how I wanted to me remembered. If I'm even remembered at all.

But you know what would keep going? Numbers. It can't be changed, it can't be affected. I could become the smartest mathematician in the world, and I couldn't change them. Anything I think of would have already been known to the universe, it was just hiding it from me.

And now I feel pathetic.

Unfortunately, living in one of the sunniest states in the country, sunlight always gets me down a little bit. It doesn't make me feel like nothing's worth it, but it definitely puts a damper on my mood until clouds either roll in or the sun goes down.
There's also the thought of losing my best friends, all three of which are very unstable, which gets to me.

Finally, End of Evangelion. No other movie has left me feeling so drained by the end that I had to take a day off.

Heh, the thing is, I'm clinically depressed and really, I have no idea what's making me that way, neither does the doctor. Considering how it seems to be a common thing in my family to suddenly become depressed, I guess it's genes.

When talking about being depressed as in being generally sad or anxious, I don't know -- very few things get me down. I can name several improvements that could be made in the world, but I don't have many notable complaints. For one, this planet has too few dinosaurs.

I guess being born in the wrong kind of body is kinda depressing though, mostly because currently I can't do much about it. I'd like to transition someday, but I'm not sure if my country's gonna provide it to people like me. If I ever make enough money, I'll do something about it by myself.

The only thing that really depresses me is that in life, the best you can really hope for is that you can make someone else's life just a little bit better.

That's pretty much why I want to be a doctor.

Everyday drudgery, insipid conversations and the constant sense of 'deja vu' that follows. Though it doesn't really make me depressed, just generally gloomy and unhappy.
This is probably just me having a particularly cynical and childishly bleak episode, but it's not really all that cheerful when it lasts for several weeks.

What makes me depressed the most... Hmm, how much of humanity is part of the great cancer known as "organized religion". And that ive no power whatsoever to fix that problem.

 

[KiLl_RoY]

When my girlfriend stabs me in the back.
But other than that, nothing I live a happy life.

 

[Ashcrexl]

maybe the fact that i spend 98% of my time alone. thats pretty depressing.

 

[DJDarque]

An imbalance of serotonin re-uptake in my nervous system makes me depressed.

I think you win.

Depressing music makes me depressed, but I like listening to it sometimes. I find that particular flavor of sadness to be kind of enjoyable. I'm different.

 

[vrbtny]

The successfulness of the recent COD games....... Oh yes I did go there.

 

[Gitty101]

What makes me depressed eh? Where do I start...

Well, just off the top of my head:

-Uni Course Deadlines
-Being away from home
-Having no money
-No hot water
-Wars and the pointless waste of life

I'm sure there are other things, but I must've pushed those to the back of my mind.

 

[Levi93]

killjoys. they can send me on downers for about a week.

 

[Sacman]

Myself... interacting with strangers in a social environment... being successful in life...that's about it...<.<

Walking into Uni a few days ago and having to learn, in depth, about the murder of babies and eventually children by the Nazies... all done before i even had breakfast.

Also during my first year, learning a different genocide each week at 9:00a.m.

Also i'm a little depressed that my social life has been shit for the past like 2 years and i'm only just realising...

-The first two are a little more depressing on the grand scale of things...

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Honestly, the most depressed I've ever been was when my dog died last New Year's Eve... I didn't feel that bad when my best friend was killed by a drunk driver...

...I still get depressed about it sometimes...

 

[TheWwwizard]

Knowing that since I've moved I would have to drive four hours to see my nearest friends, fortunately the Internet cheers me up.

 

[Paksenarrion]

Myself. Whenever I think about anything related to myself, I will eventually get depressed.
