Hello all, I'm not too sure how I stumbled upon this site but hopefully this is a place where I can finally express what I'm feeling without being imposed upon by who I'm telling (if that makes sense). I have gone through massive depressive episodes on and off for the last few years and it's difficult for me to truly pinpoint why. I'm a successful student-athlete, I have a family who loves me, friends who (seem to) support me (though I haven't expressed any of these feelings to them so we'll see I suppose), I just can't really pinpoint it. Maybe it has to do with self-love and self-worth? Maybe it's not feeling good enough in my accomplishments, like I could do even better if I really tried. I know it sounds like a cliche story line- the girl who seems to have it all really has nothing on the inside.

believes = feelings

if you believe you could do better, if you believe you didnt do good enough, the believes themselves could be depressive

what is with all the obsession to do better?

i also love to have more expensive things around me but is it worth depression?

sitting on 1000 euros sofa or 5000 euros sofa, at the end its just a sofa , and you again will fartt on it, if you look it from a intellectual point of view the effort sounds stupid

I think you've misunderstood, I'm not saying these feelings are coming from my possessions. I'm saying that I have this feeling inside that I can't seem to find the origin of

Yes, pick one or more of them and start talking. Depression thrives in silence. Talk to your friends openly about how you feel. There's no shame in it, and you'll probably find they've felt the same way at times. Friends can tell you what they like about you, get you focusing on your good points instead of dwelling on the negative.
