Because it’s real and you probably need to take steps to do something about it proactively vs worrying about why it’s happening. I hope that doesn’t come across the wrong way, I know myself I have wondered and wondered why, but sometimes that can make the cloud even bigger.
i find journaling really helpful to get my thoughts out onto the page, see them, validate them and then start researching strategies to move forwards. It could be anything, even going to speak to a GP or counsellor if you haven’t.
Be reassured that you definitely can feel better and so many of us beat ourselves up for having “great” lives but being depressed but that’s part of depression/anxiety and it’s okay. It doesn’t make what you’re going through any less hard.
