Why am I always so depressed? No matter what I do. I can do something good, something fun, something positive and helpful. Yet, afterwards I feel depressed. I can't seem to ever get better. Medications seem to do little, people, places and things only offer temporary happiness, if any at all.

Yes, ariesmars, 'why' indeed. I wish I had the answer to that question myself in regards to the workings of my own mind.

In the end, all I think we can really do, is to be honest, self honest, self aware, which you are, and basically learn ways to cope with these destiny's we've been given. I look at my life as a spiritual journey now, the opportunity to navigate through my world. As difficult and completely messed up as it has been a lot of the time, as long as I can come back to my inner 'path' and continue to grow - which I believe I am - then I feel okay about it.

Anyway, I hope you're going okay ariesmars. Take good care. Your post struck a chord with me.😌🙏

Thanks for writing back. I'm glad I'm not alone in this search for "why". I used to be much happier, more active. Things just changed. There must be reasons things changed. I guess a person just has to hit the rewind button and look for those things that changed. Maybe if they are found, we can unchange them. However, somethings just can't be changed.
