I have been diagnosed with depression from my doctor and I feel like it's no surprise to me. But lately in my life (or I should say for the last few years) it seems like there are no happy times. Just nothing but bad stuff going on. I know that my life is pretty good, but there had been challenges that try me.

In the last few years I've had some health concerns. And I've been feeling that my job has been a threat that it's going to end. It's a constant feeling. My finances has taken a dive. I didn't spend foolishly. I've been very frugal. It's just that I had a sizable medical bill and it's hard to put money away. And then there's a lot of bad things happening to people I know. And friends are hard to keep and make.

So I don't know if I just have depression or if it's circumstantial.
