Do u ever get depressed for no reason?

It's usually for a reason.

I just have depressive moods sometimes, a lot lately. I had to take some pills based on plants from the dr and I feel better. I also have more energy to do the things I have to do daily.

I've always been very moody. I hate it. My depressions aren't usually that bad, but bad enough for me to want to scream and think about packing up my s**t and leaving town. I hate Houston, and hate living with family. I'm 28 with no job security and no creative outlet. Thankfully, I have a ticket out of here sometime next year.

i used to, but when i started to truly question it instead of thinking sime vast cosmic force was doing it i felt better

I get times when I'm down for no apparent reason, but I'll say it this way.

Everything happens for a reason. If you feel sad, something triggered it. If you don't have a biochem issue that makes it common to feel sad with no emotional/mental trigger, there's a chance that something triggered something on some level that is producing it.

Self-reflection helps a lot.

Yeah, I have to admit. I sometimes get depressed for no inherent reason. Either it must be due to fatigue, improper sleep, or at times when my times when I want to be absolutely alone gets interrupted.

Most of the time, my depression evolves into me being cranky and outraged towards virtually anything and anyone. I don't know, but honestly, this is something I have yet to control, apart from my being apathetic and impulsive.

Yes, but it usually only lasts a day. I chalk it up to a temporary biochemical issue. When I am down, I usually just think to myself that it is temporary and that it will all be better tomorrow. And it almost always is. Sometimes eating a good dinner makes all the difference in the world (which makes me think it's because I haven't eaten well, not just for no reason).

Other than that, I am surprisingly even keeled, sometimes freakishly so. My wife, while concerned when I had a small breakdown late at night several years back, was a bit relieved. Her thoughts were along the lines of, "Thank God he's human."

Interestingly, if my wife had a bad day, it usually makes my day turn bad as well. I have this tendency to absorb her negative emotions almost immediately, and it makes me a bit distressed. I think this plays into the affective empathy / distress space that many with AS apparently have higher levels of than most people.

Yeah, quite a bit actually. I get depressed because I'm uncertain on how my life will go and I'm uncertain if I will be able to get through college or not. I'm not academically gifted so it won't be easy. I often at times get upset because I'm always alone and I can never make friends. I suppose I'm picky because I'm very hesitant and mistrusting and I don't want to choose the wrong crowd. I know nobody is perfect and they all have flaws.

When I'm depressed I usually have plenty of reason to be.

I can relate to that. I always seem much more depressed in the evenings than during the day and I'm sure sleep deprivation is a part of it. I'll often find myself feeling terrible in the last few hours before I go to bed as if all my problems have been magnified by 10. But when I wake up the following morning everything seems fine.

I struggle getting to sleep before 2:00am and I have to get up for work at 7:00am, so I definitely don't get as much as I should. I thinks its a combination of the stress of the day and the fact that my body is literally running on empty that causes my depression.
