Growing up with depression I was told I had to have a reason to be sad. Now that I'm an adult not much has changed. "Why are you depressed?" "You must have had a trigger."
Yes I do have some triggers but most of the time it isn't because of a trigger. No one seems to get that. That's one reason I gave up on therapy. Everyone seems to think I need to figure out what my triggers are. Is waking up a trigger? There are times when I wake up depressed.
