How Can I Pinpoint The Root Cause Of My Depression ?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Often times, I spend days and days crying and other days like today spent sleeping in the day. I realized that this is a sign of my depression. I pose the question above because I need to find out why I am so depressed. There could be numerous reasons but i don't know how to narrpw those reasons down. Basically I feel stuck in my own question.

Thank you everone. Sunshine_Clouds....I have unfortunately been without a counselor/therapist for 6 weeks now! I have to wait another week before I see my NEW THERAPIST. It's not likely I will be sharing my list with a very new therapist I don't know. And it is impossible to share something like this with my mother who don't understand.. ugh, Thanks for the support everyone

@A MyDepressionTeam Member Funny when people ask this question I always shudder. I was 26 y.o. and was extremely depressed but denied it right to the very end. I know my story is rather unusual but here goes: I woke up in the psych ward after being psychotic the day before. I was there and was treated for depression. All news to me at a very young 26 y.o. What I would suggest you do is write down every possible thought you have on why your depressed. Make a list. That's what I did and as I wrote I realized I was quite depressed. They don't have to be in any order just as you think of them. Then go away from your list and look at it again the next day. If you have someone to share the list with go ahead and share. You'll come up with a list and then share it with your counselor, therapist or psychologist. All I remember from my list is that there were lots and lots of things there. Crying and sleeping yes bad signs. I wish I could cry. Anyways I hope this helps. The same exact thing happened to me 7 years later. I had to make the list again. It certainly justified my 30 day visit at the psych ward. Good luck. Annie

I would think that a licensed professional would be more likely to be able to answer your question.

JakeLamott I suffered from a lot of childhood trauma and as an adult. It sucks with all the flashbacks and what not. I can't even get decent therapy to deal with it.
