What causes or triggers your depression?

Thank you. I always feel so alone. Dealing with depression and anxiety is very scary. I was feeling good for a long time now I am backsliding. I am working with a doctor and therapist but I just feel like I’m going backwards! Meanwhile life goes on, got to go to work and act like everything is fine. Very difficult! Thanks for being there!

So heres mine im a single dad pretty young still and just not financially strong to see my kids...my kids mean the world to me and i only get to talk to my dsughter threw phone or video when she wants and i just want her in person..it kills me..i sometimes cant take it and i think horrible things all the time..me and my daughters mom recently have breaken up as well and i feel thats taken a toll on me as well idk what to do so i guess this is me reaching out somehow to someone that wont judge me i guess..

Family, friends, people who hurt others just for fun... Everything

I am so sorry to hear everyone's triggers. But happy we are hear for each other.

My depression seems to be triggered when things don’t go as planned I’m very routine i find myself getting very irritable, frustrated and then feeling guilty for my actions later and then being sad and depressed for those actions. I don’t know that anything triggers it tho i feel depressed from morning until night i hate waking up, there’s so much to do. And it won’t stop until bed time tonight. I’m angry most of the day sad don’t really want to talk to people that i used to love to talk to. My brain never stops i think 24/7 i can’t turn it off and i think that’s what causes the irritability. That i can’t stop and enjoy the moment i can’t stop and see that my son just took his first steps bc my brain won’t let me stop until What needs to be done is done. 

I know how you feel. I would love to know how to turn it off

My best friend might be leaving school. I mean I’ve only known her since August but we have the closest connection and we love each other. I need to convince her mom that she can’t go. Not only that but I got out of the dressing room at T.J. Max and my mom was like “look at you. You’re a mess.” Then she started reaching down my shirt and fixing me. Constantly I said “Stop. What are you doing.” And at one point I sounded pretty rude as I said “Don’t touch me.” She then pulled me over and talked to me. You know the usual when we get in trouble “I’m your mother. Don’t talk to me like. Do you want to get smacked?” Not my first time hearing that. My baby sister was crying so my mom got out of line to checkout and left my sister and I. My sister Then was non stop ignoring me saying things along the lines of “Why did she yell at you. Why did you tell her to not touch you. Were you just being weird. Because I think you were.” It annoyed me so much. I held back the tears of being aggravated and remembering the fact that my best friends might leave. I haven’t been acknowledged, talked to, or asked about since. Sometimes I just get the feeling that my family doesn’t care about me at all. I know for a fact that my life isn’t as bad as yours. Maybe you’re even pissed at me for coming here even thought my problems don’t matter. There is only two people I know that I know actually care and love me. My two best friends. The one who’s leaving is a girl and the other one is a guy (we know that we like each other but we’re not dating. Okay um so my mom is on maternity leave and she works at Home Depot and she ran in for a sec and came out with two of her coworkers. I’m in the backseat of the car and they asked how my sisters were and how old they were. Keep in mind that they were both right next to my window. Anyway, I’m done typing for now.

I been fighting depression soooo long and anxiety hard to find help in my state

@Idk7924 I know how it feels to have a best friend leave.  I was the best friend that left.  It wasn’t so bad because after I moved my best friend and I still kept contact through social media’s and texting.  I constantly move schools so I haven’t had a solid friend group since 5th grade which is when I met her.  She would always tell me all the things she did with her friends.  All the times they hung out and had fun.  I had no friends at all.  I still have no friends at all and it’s been years.  It sucks seeing her on Snapchat with all of her friends, having fun without me.  I went through middle school alone, with no friends at all, now I’m going through high school alone.  Some other people on here may have worse problems then yours but losing a best friend is something very difficult to get through.  Just know that people here want to help you.

My trigger is so many bills not enough money to pay them I feel like I’m drowning every day and can’t get above water I try to take it day by day but it’s not helping I just want to give up ?
