What causes or triggers your depression?

I'm so lost in my depression.  I don't know who I am anymore.

Hello everyone, I’m new to this and thought i would give it a try. I’ve recently been diagnosed with depression and have started taking antidepressants. I’ve had 2 miscarriages in the past 6 months and have had a hard time moving past it. At first i thought i was just really sad but eventually realized it was way more. I feel consumed with my depression. I’m terrified i won’t ever be back to myself. I’m scared it will ruin the relationships i have with my boyfriend and his son because they are living with me. I’m always extremely irritable and tired. I’m not interested in things i used to be. I’ve lost any sex drive that i had. I keep thinking it’s a matter of time before they leave and are just done with me. Thanks for listening 

@Hidden username I am in the same boat I'm so lost I cant pull myself out of it.

For me it could be anything. But currently I work at a summer camp and I was really friendly with everyone, but we're six weeks in and everyone has eachother's Snapchats and phone numbers and are planning all this stuff to hang out and I haven't been included in anything. They've got these cliques and I'm like a clique all by myself. They are all talking and joking around with each other, but barely talk to me unless it's about work. I lost my friends, they were all very manipulative and weren't very good friends, so all I have is my boyfriend as a "friend". I thought I was friends with my coworkers, but I guess not. It gets very lonely amd I don't even want to go to work anymore.

I know this probably sounds really stupid to be upset about, but it makes me feel like I'm too boring or too lame to be around. It can get pretty lonely.

Don't really have a trigger for my depression I don't think.  Whenever something bad happens in my life I tend to ignore it and escape into my head and there I stay for awhile.  I have one of those over imaginative minds and I use it as a crutch to escape reality and not face my problems.  "ignorance is bliss" they say and I take it quite literally.  Problem is that it has left me become somewhat isolated in my life and I have become closed off from the world at large.  Bonds I had with family and friends were broken as I hid myself away and ignored everything.  And somewhere along the way I just gave up on everything and thought it was easier to live in the fantasy that my mind came up with.  Started wearing masks for everyday life and lied to pretty much everyone I came across in real life and online.  Not developing solid bonds with anyone, retreating to my lonely life everyday and lamenting about it.  Hahaha.  Self-realization is a hard truth to face.  Finding out that I am the cause of most of my problems has just driven me even more depressed lately.  How does one climb out of a hole of their own making? How does one find the right motivation to even try? Especially when you feel your not worth it.  Ack! where's a magic lamp when you need one

For me I deal with anxiety and depression. When I’m around people I get nervous even if they are family or friends and I have a hard time eating. This makes it difficult for me and it triggers my depression because I then become self conscious and feel fat, stressed, and uncomfortable in my own body. But logically, I know I’m not fat cuz I’m a size small. But this is what happens to me

@08Bruyot My country is Iran,

Yes, definitely I suffer from these kind of disaster. Women and children in my country have the least social privillege

@Hidden username I am really sad since you suffer in this way. I want to give you an advise. Have you ever done some medical tests to monitor your serum micronutrienst, such as Iron?.It seems to me you can treat yourself by improve your health condition. W3 actually is a good option, but certainly you should talk with a doctor.
