I was in a very dark place once in my life and it was last year, I was very clouded with depression and I was like lost and I'm grateful how I overcome that phase in my life. 

What's more painful is when your own family question you, that you don't have to be depressed for any reasons. Depression will take things you used to enjoy and make them feel like nothing to you.

Depression is real, Mental Health & Well being is one thing you need to look into -talk about or express your feelings regularly. Get one gist partner, life is full of up & Down.

Things that can cause you depression;

Life Events: Stress, the death of a loved one, upsetting events (trauma), isolation and lack of support can cause depression.

Medical conditions: Ongoing physical pain and illnesses can cause depression.

Relationships: lack of good sex, lack of children, having a partner.

People often have depression along with conditions like diabetes, cancer and Parkinson's disease.

Depression is like a pit where everyone in your life are standing around that pit while you are inside of it, & when you scream for help, the echo of your voice from the pit sounds like you are having fun.
